Il est précédé dans le deuil par son épouse, Denise (née Delaquis), ses parents Frank et Clémentine (Labossière), son frère Eugène, ses sœurs Thérèse, Cécile, Agnès et Clémence, ses beaux-frères, Pierre Delaquis, Paul Comte, Victor Pantel, Émile Chabbert et Antoine Bérard; ainsi que par ses trois fils Hubert, René et Bertrand, son petit-fils, Jérôme, sa bru, Christa Dungl et son gendre, Joe Marano. Il laisse pour chérir sa mémoire, ses neuf fils, Gilles (Janine), Bernard (Jacqueline), Lucien (Mireille), Noël (Estelle), Gérard (Andrew), Martial (Michelle), David (Mireille), Stéphane (Lise), Éric (Robyn); et ses huit filles, Pierrette (Norbert), Monique, Françoise (Kenneth), Aline (David), Catherine, Viviane (Paul), Nathalie (Robert), Sylvie (Steve); en plus de (34) petits-enfants et (11) arrière-petits-enfants. Il laisse aussi dans le deuil sa sœur Yolande, ses beaux-frères et belles-sœurs, de nombreuses nièces et neveux. Homme discret et interrogateur, Donat a voué sa vie à sa famille. Père de vingt enfants, il a consacré son temps durant la première moitié de sa vie adulte comme agriculteur pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. Travail particulièrement ardu au début, il s'adapte, avec les années aux changements technologiques. Progressivement il trouve d'autres moyens de gagner sa vie dans le domaine du commerce, en particulier le marché du bétail et plus tard celui des appareils ménagers usagés faisant la transition de la vie rurale à la vie urbaine. Papa n'était pas un homme qui aimait les foules ou les grands groupes mais il ne manquait jamais sa chance de prendre un café et discuter avec un voisin ou un ami, ou encore avec un étranger qu'il rencontrait sur son passage. Il gardait toujours l'esprit ouvert et s'intéressait à différents points de vue. Il prônait particulièrement la justice et le partage et avait peu de patience pour l'injustice. Dans sa vieillesse il a particulièrement aimé passer du temps avec ses petits-enfants et arrière-petits enfants. Pour nous, il restera toujours présent dans nos cœurs par les liens de complicité qui nous unissent. Nous tenons à remercier tout le personnel de l'hôpital et du Foyer Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes pour leur compassion et leurs soins exceptionnels. Nous vous remercions également tous pour vos prières et votre appui et votre encouragement pour papa ainsi que pour notre famille. La messe des funérailles sera célébrée par l'Abbé Alain Guenou le mardi 18 septembre 2018 à 14 h à l'église de Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes. Au lieu de fleurs, vous êtes invités à faire un don à La Fondation Santé Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes (le Foyer Notre Dame) ou Siloam Mission. --------------------------------------------- It is with profound sadness that we wish to announce the passing of our very dear father, grand-father and great-grandfather, Donat Lesage, aged 92, on September 12, 2018. He was predeceased by his wife, Denise (née Delaquis), his parents Frank and Clémentine Labossière; his brother, Eugène and his sisters, Thérèse, Cécile, Agnès and Clémence; his brothers-in-law, Pierre Delaquis, Paul Comte, Victor Pantel, Émile Chabbert and Antoine Bérard and by his three sons Hubert, René and Bertrand, his grand-son, Jérôme, his daughter-in-law Christa Dungl and his son-in-law Joe Marano. He leaves to cherish his memory his nine sons, Gilles (Janine), Bernard (Jacqueline), Lucien (Mireille), Noël (Estelle), Gérard (Andrew), Martial (Michelle), David (Mireille), Stéphane (Lise), Eric, and eight daughters, Pierrette (Norbert), Monique, Françoise (Kenneth), Aline (David), Catherine, Viviane (Paul), Nathalie (Robert) Sylvie (Steve), as well as 34 grandchildren and 11 great-grand-children. He also leaves to mourn his sister, Yolande, his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, numerous nieces and nephews, and friends. Reserved and inquisitive, Donat devoted his life to his family. Father of twenty children, he dedicated his time for half of his adult life to farming in order to provide for his family. Farm work being particularly arduous at the beginning, he adapted to the technological changes over time. Progressively, seeking other ways to earn a living, he became more involved in marketing, particularly cattle marketing and later in used appliances, transitioning from rural to urban life. Father was not one to enjoy crowds or large gatherings but would not miss the opportunity to have a coffee and discuss with a neighbour or a friend and also with a stranger he would meet on his way. He always kept a genuine interest in other points of view. He particularly valued justice and sharing, having little patience for injustice. In his later years he especially enjoyed spending time with his grand children and great grand children. For us all, he will always remain in our hearts by the ties of mutual understanding which unites us. The family wishes to express sincere thanks to the staff of the Notre Dame de Lourdes hospital and old folks home for their compassion and their dedicated, professional care as well as to all, for your prayers, your support and your encouragement given to Father and to the whole family. The funeral mass will be held at the Notre Dame de Lourdes church, officiated by Father Alain Guenou, on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at 2 p.m. with music and a video tribute prior. A private family interment will be held in the Notre Dame Parish Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Donat Lesage may be made to The Health Foundation Notre Dame (Foyer Notre Dame) or Siloam Mission. Adam's Funeral Home of Notre Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba in care of arrangements. -- As published on the Adam's Funeral Home web site (with video tribute) https://www.afh.ca/notices/Donat-Lesage
