Guy Sirois

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear brother, Guy Sirois, who passed away after a short, but courageous battle with cancer. Guy was predeceased by his parents, Madeline and Allyre Sirois. He is survived by his sisters, Valerie, Marianne (Marc) Taillon, Lisa (Mario) Taillon; and his brothers, Richard (Wendy), and Norman (Sandi); in addition to numerous nieces and nephews. Guy was born in Gravelbourg, SK and attended secondary school at Collège Mathieu, as well as Holy Cross and E.D. Feehan High Schools in Saskatoon. He also completed a Forestry/Conservation course through SIAST. He worked at a mining camp in northern Saskatchewan and at St. Paul's Hospital before becoming a full time caregiver to our father.  For this, his family is eternally grateful. Family was important to Guy, and he was always present at family birthdays and gatherings, and enjoyed spending time with his nieces and nephews who loved him a great deal and will miss him dearly. Guy was a gentle soul and fiercely independent. He travelled extensively in Europe, working both at a vineyard and an orchard in the south of France.  Other travels were to the Caribbean and to Mexico with his family where he enjoyed swimming in the ocean. Guy was a lover of rock and roll, photography, and of animals. We will miss his happy-go-lucky nature and his sense of humour. The family wishes to personally thank his family physician, Dr. Alex Yatsina and his staff, and all other caregivers who tended to Guy’s needs during his illness. Life was not always an easy road for Guy, and we now wish him everlasting peace when he reunites with our dear parents. Repose en paix cher frère. Dors bien avec les anges, comme dirait Papa. Ta famille qui t'aime beaucoup. Au revoir au ciel. The Vigil for Guy will be held at Sts-Martyrs-Canadiens Parish (1007 Windsor St) on Monday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. and the Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at the Cathedral of the Holy Family (123 Nelson Rd) on Tuesday, April 26, at 10:00 a.m. with Most Reverend Donald Bolen as celebrant.
