In memory of

Michael deBeaupre

July 1, 1949 - November 6, 2019

July 1, 1949-November 6, 2019

It is with great sadness the family announce the passing of their beloved Michael at Lakeridge Health Oshawa after a short but valiant battle. Loving husband and “partner in crime” of Jill Alley-deBeaupre (Matthews) and cherished step-father of Tyler Alley. Father of Rhonda (Carlos), Christopher (Victoria) and Matthew (Brook). Grandfather of Brock and Eric. Son of Eugene deBeaupre and the late Shirley Prue. Much loved brother of Jan (Dennis Herdman) and predeceased by brother Frank and by sister Marie Rosen. Adored son in law of Alice and Bob Matthews. Brother in law of Jeff. Michael will also be dearly missed by many nieces and nephews-especially Leslie, Stephanie and Dennis, extended family, friends and co-workers. Michael managed the meat departments at Loblaws and Metro, colleagues will forever remember his legendary “backroom chats.” He enjoyed travel- especially road trips to Florida with Jan and Dennis, cruising, relaxing at the family cottages and all Toronto sports teams. His great sense of humour, strength and “devotion to lawn care” will resonate in the hearts and minds of those he leaves behind. A celebration of Michael’s life will be held at THORNTON CEMETERY & FUNERAL CENTRE, 1200 Thornton Road North, Oshawa, (South of Taunton Road and off of Dryden Blvd, 905-579-6787) on Sunday, November 17, 2019 from 3-5 pm, followed by a reception at General Sikorski Banquet Venue (1551 Stevenson Road North, Oshawa).

Jill, we are very sad that Mike has passed, but so happy that he came in your life. I remember when you two started dating and us all doing Yoga together at Goodlife! Fast forward several years to your Wedding cruise Jan 25, 2009. What a great time! We have such amazing memories of the vacation. You and Mike had a wonderful relationship. I know how much you adored him and how happy he made you. He was a good step-father to Tyler also. We all are going to miss Mike dearly. The following days will be very tough for you. We want you to know that will be there for you every step of the way to ensure you are comforted and taken care of. Just the way Mike always took good care of you. Rest in peace Mike. Xoxo Kristan and Clinton

I’m so very sorry Jill. You’re pictures speak volumes on your relationship and the type of man Michael was. Be thankful for your time spent together and memories that were made along the way. My thoughts are with you. Xo

We are so saddened by this loss. Mike was a hard working man who took pride in his work. He cared for our lawn and property for years and was always kind, considerate (even to our neighbours) and attentive. He and Tyler worked together like a well oiled machine!
He was a lovely man and we considered him a friend.
Our deepest sympathy go to Jill and his family.
