I am so sorry for your loss, Diana.

My sincere sympathy to you, Jesse, Nicole and Luke. Please know you are all in my thoughts at this difficult time.

Condolences from the Houghton family. Gilles was always very friendly and kind to us. I loved his energy and sense of humour. You will be missed.

We are so heavy hearted since we heard of Gilles passing, he was truly one of the nicest guys! I remember being on a job site where he and Ike Suderman were painting (Chalmers CC) and had so many good laughs with Gilles spontanious comments, he was fun to be around. He will be missed, but we shall see him in the not too distant future. Diana, you and your family are in our prayers, may God give you comfort and peace at this difficult time. Much love to you all.

We worked with Gilles for many years (combined) at the post office. It was always so much fun when he was around and there was never a shortage of laughs.

We are saddned to hear of his passing not only because he was so young, but because he was such a wonder human being.

Sending strength to family and friends and all who knew Gilles. We will honour him on our next hike, which is where we'd often run into him when we still lived in Manitoba.

Sorry for your loss Diana,

Our sincerest condolences to you, Dianna, Jesse, Nicole and Luke. This news came as such a shock to us. May you find peace in the midst of turmoil and many unknowns. May you feel the loving arms of Jesus be wrapped tightly around you all. Our thoughts and hugs are with you.

I have known Gilles fpr many years. We played scrub soccer together back, in the 1980s. I would oftentimes, see Gilles at the Tim Horton's having a coffee break from his his days as a postal delivery person. My most, heart-felt condolences gp out to his family. See you later, Gilles1

Diana, I was so surprised and sorry to hear of Gilles illness and now just heartbroken for yo.u. My mind is flooded with memories from when we were all young single friends and your wedding and us going our separate ways. Yours and a few others wedding pictures continue to hang in our hallway. Ryan and I have so enjoyed the few times we've spent together with you and Gilles over the years. Ryan remembers Gilles as gregarious, bubbly and of course his smile! They shared a great sense of humor!

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers as we mourn with you. Sending you our love, hugs and deepest sympathies.

Diana & family, please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of Gilles. Know that you are all in my prayers as you navigate through your journey through grief. As you cry your tears of sadness, it is my hope that you also remember the moments of joy in a life well lived.

My sincere heartfelt condolences to Gilles family. I worked with Gilles at the main plant and he was an amazing person to talk to. Gone far too soon. May his family find strength at this difficult time!

Diana, I am so sad to hear of Gilles' illness and passing. I will always remember his sense of humour and infectious smile. My deepest condolences to you and your family on this terrible loss. My prayers are with you.

From when we first learned of the shocking news of Gilles' illness and now to his passing we have been so incredibly sad. Sad for you Diana and your whole family and what Gilles had to go through, sad we will not see him again (in this life). All so not fair!!
So glad we got to visit this summer, as we sat outside sipping wine I remember Gilles trying to catch/kill the wasps that were buzzing around. He was proud of his ability to get some of those buggers and it was funny watching him do it. Gilles was such a solid person, such a good man, sweet, with a sense of humor and jovial side to him. The photo biography shows the beautiful life you had together and the memories you will hold close forever. I have some photos as well that I need to dig up.
A short life well lived. Gone way too soon, RIP Gilles, you will not be forgotten ❤️❤️.
Ike's memories: Before Gilles was married Gilles and I worked together for a period of time. Working and staying out of town together. We got along well and never had any real issues. A good person, easy to get along with. Never a slouch at work. As singles we spent many weekends at the beach, Gilles & Diana, myself with Silvia. I remember a lot of chicken fights in the water, Sil and Diana on our shoulders.
Gilles was always supportive, I appreciated that! I was honored to be one of his groomsmen when he and Diana married.
We just visited this last summer and now he is gone, unreal. We will meet again. Gilles, you were good person!

Diana, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My sincere condolences. May the God of comfort and peace put his loving arms around you to bring peace and comfort to you and your family.

Alvin and I have found memories of Gilles during the years we spent at the same church . His love for Jesus, Diana and the kids and his friends was evident. I appreciated the times we spent in the same prayer and prophetic word group . Gilles loved life and you will miss him so much . Our heartfelt condolences to you all - may the comforting arms of Holy Spirit carry you all in this time of deep loss .

So many good memories together as families and as couples camping and getting together for suppers and picnics and the beach. I will miss Gilles.

My condolences Diana, Jesse, Nicole and Luke. I have you all in my prayers 🙏 ❣️
