It is with heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of Rob Desmarais. He passed away November 20, 2025, after a 3 year battle with ALSP.
He is loved beyond measure by his partner and their family and friends.
We will remember his fun-loving, energetic personality and give thanks for the 46 years he had in this world.
We wish to thank the ALSP community for all their help and support during these very difficult last three years.
Visitation will take place at the Côte-des-Neiges Funeral Centre, located at 4525 Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges, Montreal, QC, H3V 1E7, Canada, on December 1, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
