It’s with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing Denis, 74, on Friday afternoon, July 30th at the Ottawa General Hospital. Denis was born in Clarence Creek and grew up in Ottawa, ON. Predeceased by his loving parents, Emelie and Lionel. Survived by his loving partner and best friend Dora, his daughter Johanne (Paul), his son Alain (Louise), his siblings Monique, Laurier (Suzanne) and Bernard, his grandson Tyrone (Theresa) and also special friends. He enjoyed a long fulfilled career with Bell Canada as an electrical trouble shooter, allowing him to retire at 57 which allowed him time to spend time doing things he loved, like cycling, curling, baseball, travelling and his love for cars and fish. Many thanks to the oncology team (Dr. MacDonald and Dr. Sundeep) and urology team (Dr. Warren) and also for all doctors and staff at the Ottawa General Hospital that were involved in his care. A memorial service will be held on August 7th at Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation services at 1pm. Due to covid restrictions there will be no reception.

Tout au long de sa vie ma famille et moi l'avons cotoyé dans différents endroits, réunion de famille, funérailles, rassemblements de la famille Rochon au grand complet et autres...... et ce fut toujours un réel plaisir de le voir et de jaser avec Jean-Denis. Quand on se voyait on était attiré par lui comme un aimant et ce fut réciproque. On pouvait discuter de choses et d'autres et quand on finissait de se jaser il trouvait un moyen de nous quitter avec un énorme sourire et une promesse de se revoir à nouveau. Mais le destin en a voulu ainsi mais je garde un excellent souvenir de mon cousin..... Reposes en paix et là où tu es Jean-Denis prends soin de ceux qui t'aiment.
Mes sympathies les plus sincères à toute sa famille.

Je suis Denise, l'épouse du défunt cousin Pierre Lortie. J'ai eu la chance de voir et jaser un peu avec Jean-Denis dans des divers rassemblements de famille Rochon. Le peu que je l'ai connu m'a permis de constater que c'était un vrai gentil homme. Mes plus sincères sympathies à toute la famille.
