FRANÇOIS BOURASSA

It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of their beloved François Bourassa, in the Health Sciences-Center in Winnipeg on February 26, 2025, at the age of 61.

François is survived by his son Julien; daughter Solvej; their mother and ex-life companion Chantal Houle; father Paul-André; mother Carmen; brother Louis; sister Julie; other family members and friends. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

François was a passionate educator who found great purpose in teaching technology to Indigenous communities across Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. François believed in the transformative power of education and worked tirelessly to bridge gaps in access and opportunity for students in remote areas. His work in the communities he served was not just about teaching technology, but about fostering empowerment, self-reliance, and innovation. François’ compassion, patience, and dedication left a lasting impact on all those who had the privilege of learning from him.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, François was a kind and loving father who deeply cherished his family and friends. He will be remembered for his generosity, sense of humor, and unwavering commitment to making the world a better place.

A celebration of François’ life will be held at 10:30a.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2025 in Nativité Church, at 75 Rue Morris, Sherbrooke, QC.

François’ family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
