elevated Q7Irw Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Remy William Paul Gauthier announces his passing. Remy was 75 years old. 

elevated Q7Irw Remy was born in Montreal, Quebec. He was the first child of Angel and Paul Gauthier. He spoke fondly of his childhood in Montreal and often relayed memories about his dog that walked him to and from school. His knack for science and math landed him in the gifted program, which accelerated his performance in school and his career. In 1974, he took a leap of faith and relocated himself to Toronto.

elevated Q7Irw His career in financial planning blossomed in Toronto where he continued to work with Prudential Insurance Company. Many fond memories took place after work, such as Pac-Man at their local haunt, Hector’s. His colleagues quickly turned into lifelong friends, and he continued to create these bonds as he moved forward in his career. Remy retired at age 63 from Standard Life. 

elevated Q7Irw Remy was an adventurer; he looked forward to the days where he could explore the surrounding neighborhoods by bike. He loved to play the guitar – a true fan of disco, 70s rock, and the sounds of the 80s. He found comfort in a game or two of solitaire. 

elevated Q7Irw Remy enjoyed lengthy dinner table discussions on international affairs, history, and life’s biggest mysteries. He would try to solve most things by a mathematical equation! He will be remembered for his incredible wit and elevated sense of humour. 

elevated Q7Irw A large part of his time was spent watching his kids at soccer and karate practice, theatre and dance rehearsals. He enjoyed family activities such as card shows, festivals, and cottage stays. As a proud father and husband, he boasted about his family to anyone and everyone. This continued into his hospital stay where the nurses and doctors eventually knew all about them. 2024 marked his 40th wedding anniversary. 

elevated Q7Irw Predeceased by siblings Rebecca and Peter, and parents Angel and Paul. Survived by his wife, Jo-Anne, and children, Aaron (Zohrah) and Michele. Grandfather to Zack and Mia, and Uncle to Ryan, Deanna, Shawn, Paula and Victoria. 

elevated Q7Irw A special thank you to family, friends, colleagues, and the Mackenzie Health palliative care team for their compassion and support. 

elevated Q7Irw Remy will be deeply missed. To make a donation in his honour, please support The Food Bank of York Region ahead of the holiday season.
