It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Jean on August 21, 2025, following a sudden and brief illness. He will be forever missed by his loving partner Judy (née Halme) and his much-loved son, daughter and granddaughter, Justin (Roberta McRae), Liane and Geneva (Kocum). He also leaves behind his brothers Louis (Hélène Dallaire) and Paul (Lison Chèvrefils), his sister Louise, and a niece and nephews. He is also deeply missed by Liane’s dog Francie.

Jean had a zest for life and approached it with a spirit of adventure, an unending curiosity, and stylish enthusiasm and flair.  He is lovingly remembered by his family and countless friends for his generosity, kindness, and compassion.

We extend our gratitude to doctors, nurses and staff at the Hôtel-Dieu and Enfant-Jésus hospitals in Québec City, the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus and the Bruyère Health Saint-Vincent Hospital. We especially want to thank the many friends who shared memories, tributes and kind words which we read to Jean in his final days. It was a gift to Jean and to us.

In lieu of flowers, charitable donations can be made, if you wish, to a humanitarian cause such as Médecins Sans Frontières or Amnesty International.

 

Jean is everywhere and nowhere. Our hearts are broken.

I met Jean a few years ago through tennis. He was always smiling and had a great energy that surrounded him. He was kind, encouraging and was interested in getting to know everyone. My sincere condolences to Jean's entire family. He will be missed.

Mes plus sincères condoléances, chère Louise, à l'occasion du départ de ton frère Jean. Je ne le connaissais pas mais nos amies communes m'ont partagé ses nombreuses qualités. Je te souhaite d'être bien entourée durant cette période difficile.

En ce jour d'hommage à Jean, je pense fort à lui, à Judy.
Je ne l'ai connu que par courriels et pourtant Jean est dans mon cœur, tellement sa générosité et son enthousiasme étaient communicatifs. Il a pu profiter pleinement de Paris avec Judy et ses leurs chers enfants. C'est un réconfort pour moi, car ce bonheur a été pleinement partagé.

J'ai une douce pensée pour mon cher Paul, et aussi pour son frère et sa sœur (que je ne connais pas encore) et Lison, ma bien chère belle-sœur. Je suis avec tous par la pensée et le cœur en ce jour.
