MARCEL ARTHUR
JOSEPH DEVIGNE

​

August 18, 1961 – January 27, 2022

Marcel Arthur Joseph Devigne passed on January 27, 2022 after a short battle with cancer that robbed him of planned summers with grandchildren and time in his workshop. His final days were spent surrounded by family at his home in Ste. Rita, Manitoba.

 

Marcel was born August 18, 1961, in Altona, Manitoba, to Arthur and Fernande Devigne of St. Joseph, Manitoba, the third of 5 children.

  

Marcel took on many jobs to support his family, including farm work, selling vacuums, welding, and dropping newspaper bundles. He also worked maintenance at St. John’s Ravenscourt School and as an Auxiliary Constable for the RCMP before settling into a 28-year career with Winnipeg Transit. He started as a Bus Operator then moved into the role of Street Inspector. Passengers and drivers alike knew him for his quick wit and steadfast friendship. He was also known for his dependability and courage in difficult situations and problem-solving skills. Many of his colleagues considered him a coach and mentor before retiring as the most senior Street Inspector in August 2021.

​

Marcel was an avid outdoorsman and spent much of his free time hunting, fishing, and trapping in all seasons throughout Manitoba. He took great pleasure in sharing his love of the outdoors with friends and family, especially his grandchildren. Marcel was a creative fabricator and spent many hours in the workshop he built himself, welding and woodworking. As a “jack of all trades” he was quick to lend a helping hand when it came to home repairs and renovations. Despite being talented at so many things, most will remember him for his famous pig roasts and fish fries.

​

Marcel is survived by his devoted wife of 39 years, Kathryn; son, David (Colleen); daughter, Kimberly (Sean); grandchildren, Brooke, Wyatt, Madeline, Leah, and Hazel; siblings, Claude (Paulette); Robert (Paula); Darlene, and Henri.

 

Marcel’s family kindly requests that his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by watching the photo-biography above. Please, also consider sharing your own photos and/or sharing your own memories and stories using the comment section on this page.

​

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, July 29, 2022 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at 603 Wellington Crescent (Unitarian Church) at Academy Road.

Marcel was a great family man, outdoorsman, and an all around good guy.  He had a great sense of humour also.   When I was selling  his and  Kathy’s home on Parkville Ave he was going on a moose hunting trip. I jokingly said bring me some moose whiskers so I know you actually got a moose. Sure enough he told me to go and look on the workbench in his garage.  There waiting for me was a couple of moose whiskers. From then on we each called one other moose whiskers.   I believe everyone that knew Marcel has positive, funny, and fond memories and will miss him very much. He loved his family, he loved the outdoors, and he loved life.   We’ll miss him but at the same time carry in our hearts fond memories, a smile, and he will never be forgotten.

I heard about this today at work when I bumped into Sean’s brother Jared on a job site. I couldn’t believe it. At one time I was very close with Marcel. In that time he was a huge mentor to me. I learnt so much from him, in fact he taught my whole hunting crew that we had been skinning deer wrong all these years and showed us how to do it right lol. He was right by saying that and we still use his technique today.  To date the biggest buck I have ever shot was with Marcel by my side. Rest in piece my friend and my deepest condolences to your family. Cheers

Thinking of Marcel and trying to decide what to write that says what I’m feeling and, for once, I’m at a loss for words.  Right now, looking at the picture of him smiling I can hear the laugh that goes with it and remember some of the corny jokes that often preceded it.  As an Operator I remember the relief of seeing him waiting for me at a timing point when I had an issue on my bus and, conversely, the sudden fear of seeing him waiting for me when everything on my bus was fine (and my mind starting to race trying to think of something I’d done). More often than not he was just taking the opportunity to see how things were going.  As a newly minted Acting Supervisor I remember being worried about my first shift with Marcel. What if I do the wrong thing? What if I freeze? What if I don’t know what to do? Marcel was a great mentor and would give rookies the space to do what needed to be done, would step in only when he needed to, and would often take the opportunity to turn something into a teachable moment.  I can’t remember how many times I asked for his advice for work and personal issues. I didn’t always take his advice and it would often turn out that he was correct (again that smile).  Saying Marcel will be missed doesn’t feel like it’s enough.  I’ll remember his smile and the corny jokes and I will smile.

It has been already but anytime Marcel gave you his word it was better than gold. Marcel and I met back in Nov 1999. He was still a driver and an acting supervisor. Marcel was always around to mentor me and to help me and any which way right up to his retirement and still chatted with me after from time to time.  Marcel was very instrumental in coaching and helping me become a better Supervisor and taught me the true meaning of treating all operators with respect and as our customers.  I will deeply miss you Marcel my mentor, friend, and brother. My heart goes out to Kathy and the entire family. ❤ My condolences and deepest sympathies to everyone.  Always our thoughts and prayers. Tracy and Wade Razella

I did not have the length of a transit career that Marcel had but he was very dedicated to his job and my observations were always that he always got the job done and as a retired driver I appreciated that .   So sad that his retirement was so short.

Marcel… you have definitely left a void in this world. I have had the pleasure of working with Marcel for 18 years. Both as a bus operator and supervisor. The professionalism that he always exuded shone through with each and every call I responded to with him. Marcel inspired a lot of us on the street, and I for one always looked up to him, and respected his feedback. Marcel, the way you spoke of your family left no doubt in anyones mind of the true feelings that you had for each and everyone of them. The pride and love that you showed for them was genuine and extremely powerful. I will miss you my friend, and I cherish the short time that we shared together. Until we meet again Marcel.  To Marcel’s family, please accept our deepest condolences.  Trevor, Stacy, Addison, Ashton and Arianna

Over my 37 yrs as a Mechanic at Ft.Rouge Transit garage Marcel and I crossed paths many times and it was always entertaining! More so over the last 5 years he would visit us regularly at the garage when it was slow on the streets and we always had a good laugh or vented our frustrations. Whenever I called into the Control Center going for a tow call and he was on shift I would get the usual upbeat reply of “hello Kevy how is it going! Usually followed by “I’ll come and visit you guys later”. An all around excellent coworker and friend ,he deserved a long rewarding retirement, just not fair life sometimes.  My Condolences to the family  R.I.P. Marcel Kevin Ford

Marcel was my friend. I am lucky to have met him, and am grateful to be able to say that he was my friend. It is not an over exaggeration to say he was an inspiration to me almost daily. Whether it was one of our many conversations (many many many conversations), the compassion he showed to the less fortunate people we encountered in our workplace; his love, respect and fierce loyalty and willingness to stand up for his many friends and colleagues whether they knew it or not; the vast number of friends he has; his ability to do everything he set his mind to; the grace in which he went through the final chapter of his life; and especially the love, pride and joy he showed anytime he spoke about any and every member of his family. If anyone was larger than life, Marcel was, and knowing him has made me a better person. I miss my friend. Love you, Bud.  To Kathy, David, Kim and all of Marcel’s family, please accept our love and condolences in this difficult time, we are grieving with you. Nelson, Leocadia and Jack

My deepest condolences to Kathy and his family ❤ I remember 15yrs ago starting as a bus operator and my first incident that happened on my 19. Marcel was the Supervisor who arrived on my bus and assured me everything would be ok, also told me if I needed the rest of the shift off I could take that, I knew at this point in my career he was the one I could count on "to have my back" and feel protected on the job! Outside the job, Marcel had taken my partner and I fishing on the Red River for Catfish, and although we didn't catch one other guy in the boat landed one and you could tell Marcel was happy with that and disappointed that the rest of us didn't catch, and promised us to another trip to try again. I also remember being invited out to his "fish fry" and dragging my toddler and partner out to his place where he fed everyone the fish he caught n cooked. Was a great time as always when hanging out with Marcel. I missed seeing him (esp these last couple years cuz of Covid) at work for little visits at my terminal to check in and see how things were going and to show me pictures of all sorts of things he had been working on. He was very talented at Carpentry from the pictures he would show me.  I feel like he was always someone I could count on, and I'm sad he is gone. Gonna miss you Marcel! 😪🌹🙏

Marcel personified what it means to honor both operators and supervisors. He touched 1,000s of lives during his career, saved a few himself and helped people often on the worst days of their lives. He was there. He went towards danger, not away from it. His word had meaning. It saddens me that he didn't get to enjoy the rewards of such a career and honorable life. His memory lives on in us. He is loved and missed!

Marcel was my neighbor and over the years we became great friends.  We had the opportunity to call upon him to help build a deck at our new house.  We could always count on him for an honest opinion on any improvements we wanted to do.  He was a jack of all trades.  We saw him last summer when he and Kathy stop by for a visit.  We had fun conversations and shared some great memories.   He will be dearly miss.

Many memories going as far back as Kenora days and St Joseph. Many antics with all the kids. Not sure if it was him driving the tractor or nearly getting run over. Could have been Claud or Robert. Of course I was innocent.  His wit and his hilarious pranks. Always enjoyed all the times we happened to see each other. Say hi to your mom and dad.

Flory and I are so saddened at the passing of Marcel. When he moved to ste rita he came over to introduce himself and offered his help if we ever needed. He said if you ever need help with anything give me a call! Whenever he would see us outside while driving by he would give a honk or a wave. Always with a great big smile. We always seen him in the neighborhood spending time with his grandchildren. Pulling them with his snowmobile on the tobbagan riding with them on his quad. Lots of lovely chats with him!! May God keep Kathy and family strong. The pictures are just like we remember always wearing his brown pants..

I am still at a loss for words. Marcel was an amazing person and always always going that extra step for the operators. When Marcel showed up you could calm down as you knew things we're going to be handled. He always cared about the operators well being. I remember talking to Marcel on one of his last shifts and he was so ready to retire, hunting, fishing, his shop and grandkids. Gone way to soon, he will be deeply missed. My sincerest condolences to your entire family. Godspeed Marcel.

Marcel was a man with a big heart. We had many conversations at work about his love of the outdoors. He was a firm but fair person who was very well respected. When he showed up to a call, you knew that you would be taken care of! I was sad when he had retired, but even more sadened to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family during this difficult time 🙏

Our sincere condolences to Kathy, David, Kim and their families. I did learn to like and respect Marcel for his fairness and skills both at Transit and many "side 'jobs. He helped me and my wife when in Control Center or on the street, quite a few times too. Extremely saddened by the news of his illness and passing. RIP, Marcel🙏

Marcel was a great friend. The memories of having a couples movie night along with our yearly fishing trip to Cormorant Lake will forever be steadfastly sweet. Marcel was always generous with his time and knowledge. -1st to arrive with equipment when we had a basement flood -happy to help me install saddle bags on my motorcycle The list of ways he cared for and helped Tracey and I are endless. Marcel was a man of integrity and ultimately most conversations happily led back to his family and his next planned outing/visit. Take care my friend. Condolences to Kathy and Co.❤

I’m terribly sorry for your loss….Marcel always took time to ask me how I and my family were whenever we’d cross paths…..Whenever there was a “situation” I took great comfort to see it was Marcel responding….First time meeting him he teased me for having what looked like a “mama” made lunch  and indeed, it was…. Peace be with you Matt Jones

I worked with Marcel for 26yrs. He was a great guy. When I seen him on the streets  he would always tell me about his Family and  how well they where doing.  He was a friend and I will always remember him.

I'm shocked and saddened about his sudden passing. It was just "yesterday" when Marvel retired... I knew Marcel through work, (Winnipeg Transit) where everyone held him in high regards. He will be greatly missed...

You always had a smile on your face at work, which sometimes was a difficult thing to do. I knew when you walked up to my bus to help, things would get taken care of. I'm sorry for your family for not getting another 30 plus years with you, but you probably made enough memories with them for them to cherish all those times and be able to tell and re-tell them all. Will miss you Marcel.

I was terribly saddened to learn of Marcel’s passing. As the Chief Inspector at Transit, Marcel was one of my best appointments to the position of Inspector. His reliable, can-do attitude quickly came to the forefront in everything he did. My fondest memory of Marcel was the fabulous job he did managing the transit operations deficated to the Francaphone Games and the relationships he built with Bus Operators.   My other most vivid memory was the love and pride you could see in his eyes every time he spoke of his family.   My prayers and thoughts are with Kathy, David and Kim in your time of sorrow. Always remember how much he loved his family and the admiration held for him by hundreds of his Transit family. God Bless. https://www.ethicaldeathcare.com/devigne-marcel

Beautiful tribute. I have very find memories of Marcel. A few of my favorite were my trip with the family to English Lake where I shot a gun for the first time, the fish fries mentioned above and the fact that the man liked me enough to let me borrow movies (which for those of you who know how serious he was about his collection that is a pretty high honor). You will be missed. Sending all my love to family and friends in this difficult time.
