It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Louis Morissette, on January 4, 2025, at the age of 78.
Predeceased by his wife, Jo-Anne(née Rayner), he leaves behind his son, Joseph (Erin Lawless), as well as his two grandchildren, Lloyd Morissette and Rosemary MacDonald. Predeceased by his parents Annette (née Legault), Picard Morissette and his daughter, Marie-Isabelle Morissette (Ryan MacDonald).
He will be dearly remembered by his sisters France( Maurice Lamarche), Claude (Jacques Savard), and Julie (Gilles Brunet). Dear uncle to nieces and nephews; Marie-Claude and Luc Savard, Julien and Daniel Lamarche, and Daphné Desrochers who will forever hold dear the memory of Louis's boundless generosity. His aunt, Marie-Paule Rochon (née Legault), and his cousins will forever cherish the countless precious memories they shared with Louis, while the Rayner family will hold him in fond and loving remembrance. He will be deeply missed by his many friends, whose lives he touched with kindness, wit, and unwavering friendship.
Louis enjoyed a successful career in medicine in Shawville and Ottawa-Gatineau, where he was highly regarded by his many patients. A gifted pianist, he delighted family and friends with his varied repertoire. He was a great lover of classical music, particularly opera, as well as rock and roll and the blues. He had a profound passion for literature, with a particular admiration for Shakespeare, and was deeply engaged in politics as well as ancient and contemporary history. Louis also found great joy in equestrian sports, skiing, camping, and, most of all, traveling. His love for gardening and the companionship of his many beloved dogs was a testament to his appreciation for life's simple yet meaningful pleasures.
The family wishes to thank the staff of St. Vincent Hospital and Greystone Village Retirement.
Friends and family are invited to pay respects on Monday January 20th, 2025, at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Ave. Ottawa from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00p.m.

Un géant bilingue pour le mouvement. Un homme riche de connaissances et bon sens. Louis à fait de grande efforts pour travailler des groupes NOMAD pendant sa carrière de médecin.
.... Louis à travailler sans relâche pour prôner les valeurs de ne pas consommer, surtout aux niveaux des professionnels de notre ville d'Ottawa. Je vais te manquer mon grand. Fais une place pour nous, qui vont te suivre dans l'haut delà.

Louis was a friend and former singing student of mine. He was a quick study with a thirst for knowledge, new concepts and ideas. He continued to search for meaning in his life after the loss of his wife and daughter. We can take solace, knowing they are reunited again. To all those who knew and loved Loved him, may the fond memories of him sustain you during your time of grief.
