Obituary for Dean Gerard Joseph Desrosiers
Dean Desrosiers
July 29th, 1959 - Thursday, March 12th, 2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Dean Desrosiers of Calgary, Alberta on March 12, 2020 at 60 years of age.
Dean is survived by his sisters, Denise (Scott) Cronshaw, Lindy (Nelson) Grant and Lori (Terry) Vollman; nephews, Evan, Drew, Ian and Joshua; nieces, Heather and Heidi and special friend Kathy Labbee. He was predeceased by his loving parents Gerry and Gwen Desrosiers.
Dean was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on July 29, 1959 and moved to Chateauguay, Quebec when he was 2 years old and lived there until he ventured out on his own at age 17. He lived and worked in Edmonton, Alberta and Northern Alberta until 1988 when he moved to Calgary, Alberta to be with his girlfriend. He decided to go back to school and obtain his plumbers/pipe fitters ticket and enjoyed that field of work for many years until he suffered a brain injury in 2010. Since 2011, Dean has resided at Garrison Green Care Home in Calgary.
The things Dean enjoyed the most were his family, friends, playing golf, hockey, drawing and telling jokes. He was always witty and enjoyed making people laugh.
Dean can now be free to walk, something he strongly desired during his last 9 years on earth. He will be forever missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his honor to the Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured at ARBI Donate.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date.
