With peace in our hearts, the family of Ervin William Deschene announce his passing  at the Drew Nursing Home on Monday, April 29.

An avid fishermen, he traveled numerous times to the Northwest Territories to fish on the shores of Great Bear Lake and to explore the Mackenzie Mountains. He enjoyed dancing, playing guitar, telling stories, and having a good laugh. His pursuit of perfection was especially apparent in the organization of his tools in his garage and by his level green lawn. His car cleaning skills were unbeatable and the envy of his sons in law. Ervin was a kind hearted man and gave generously to family, friends, and even strangers but his greatest gift was the love he gave to his family.
