Obituary for Gabriel Andre LeBlanc-Fortin
Gabriel LeBlanc-Fortin
August 6, 1993 - April 25 2023
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Gabriel at the age of 29.
He will be lovingly remembered by his mother Julie LeBlanc; His eldest brother Nathan LeBlanc-Fortin, youngest brother Gaelan LeBlanc-Fortin, and sister Sable LeBlanc-Fortin; half-sisters, Michelle Fortin, Louise Fortin, Danielle Fortin; Grandfather Andre LeBlanc and Step Grandmother Phyliss LeBlanc; many aunts including aunties Lana LeBlanc, Tina Scott (formerly Said) nee LeBlanc (Allan) and uncles; cousins including Angel LeBlanc and Jordan Said; and his boyfriend Brady Smeyers.
He was predeceased by His Father Richard Joseph Fortin (1951-2021), His Maternal Grandmother Sadie Terese Martin nee Mitchell (1937- 2022), His Paternal Grandfather Charles Fortin (1917- 1997), His Paternal Grandmother Therese Fortin nee Betet (1921- 2021), and half-sister Diane Fortin.
Gabriel was known in many communities, involved in many ways. His passion, enthusiasm, and whacky humor were the characteristics that were the core of his being. Recently employed full-time by Deerfoot City Canadian Tire, his love and dedication to what he did, and whom he did it with were prevalent in every way. His love for diversity, inclusion, and equality, was a long-time path of advocacy for him. As a member of the Calgary Drag Community, he will be remembered as a “Slay Qween” and a bright light on stage. His Family and Friends knew that Gabriel’s life was never a dull moment, and everything he did, he did with class, style, passion and integrity. He will be dearly, greatly and incredibly missed by all who knew him, which were many. His love for his Siblings, Mother, Relatives, Friends, and his “Polar Prince” Brady, were always mentioned by Gabe.
We would like to thank Choice Memorial for the care they have given our family during this time.
A Celebration of Life will be announced by the family on a later date (most likely June 2023).
