It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and Pepere, Roger Andre Larocque, on Tuesday, August 13^th, 2024, at St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Dad spent 51 years as a professional class 1 driver. Hauling various commodities including pulp, gravel, general freight, overseas containers, tankers and finishing his career driving bus. His work ethic was unmatched, always going above and beyond.

His passion was trucks, but his biggest passion was his family. Dad spent his evenings and weekends cheering on his children in the rink, from hockey to figure skating and ringette. He was well known and loved within the hockey community. This passion carried over with his grandchildren. He loved cheering them on from the stands whether it was hockey, ringette, club volleyball, music concerts or soccer. He was their #1 fan!

The memorial service will be held in honor of Dad on Saturday, September 7^th, 2024, at 1:00 p,m., at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, Manitoba. A private family interment will follow at a later date.

Flowers respectfully declined, however, should you wish, a donation can be made in his honor to CancerCare Manitoba. 

A heartfelt Thank You to all the staff at CancerCare Manitoba as well as the Doctors & Nurses at St Boniface Emergency for their care and compassion.
