It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Réal Boutin at his home in Beaumont, AB (formerly of Athabasca, AB) on January 10, 2020, at the age of 65.
Réal is lovingly remembered by Janice, his wife of 42 years; his sons Brandon (Megan) and Bryan (Erin); and his treasured granddaughters Aizzah and Adelynn. He also leaves behind three brothers, Paul (Jeanne), Dennis (Linda) and Rosaire (Liz), and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins whom he cherished. Réal was predeceased by his father Adjutor Boutin, mother Jeanne Ida Boutin, brother Roger Boutin, sister-in-law Irene Boutin, and brother-in-law Allen Freh.
Réal was a thoughtful, kind and loving person who touched the hearts of many people. His family was very important to him and he loved each and every one of them deeply. He was a little man with a huge heart.
As per Réal's wishes there will be no service at this time. A family gathering will be held at a later date.
The family would like to thank all who have expressed their condolences. Thank you for all the messages, flowers, food and hugs. We are very blessed and overwhelmed by all of your loving support.
For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to The Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute of Edmonton.
