LEROUX, Glenn Derrick - December 24, 1954 – January 18, 2019 - With heavy hearts and wonderful memories, we announce the peaceful passing of Glenn Leroux, 64, on January 18, 2019, surrounded by his loving family at home.
Survived by beloved wife of 41 years, Gayle; and adoring children, Michael (Julia) and Kathleen (David).
Treasured son of Sheila and brother to Chris (Dawn), Linda and Catherine (Greg).
He will be peacefully reunited with his son, Stephen (2018) and father, Roger (2012).
He will be greatly missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
Born in Kenora, Ontario, Glenn grew up an avid fisherman and lover of the outdoors. His interest in commerce brought him to Thunder Bay, where he studied at Lakehead University.
As fate would have it, he was hospitalized following a serious car accident in 1974, where he met student nurse (and future wife) Gayle. They married in 1978 and had three children together.
Glenn later moved his family to Southern Ontario in 1986 for a promising job opportunity. He would go on to have a rewarding career in Toronto as a Risk Management executive at George Weston Limited/Loblaw Companies Limited.
Despite the change in scenery, Glenn proudly remained connected to his northern roots.
Glenn will always be remembered as one of a kind. His warm, genuine nature and playful sense of humour brought so much light to those around him. Memories of his joyful spirit and smile will forever warm our hearts.
A celebration of his life will be held in February.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Glenn’s memory may be made to Parkinson Canada.
