Obituary of Lionel Chevrier

Lionel Joseph Chevrier, a dedicated resident of Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan, peacefully passed away on Sunday, January 28, 2024, in Moose Jaw. Born on September 23, 1947, he was the eldest son of Jean-Paul and Marie Anna Chevrier.

Lionel's educational journey began in Gravelbourg, where he attended school. From a young age, Lionel displayed a passion for farming, embarking on this noble pursuit alongside his father at the tender age of 16. His industrious spirit and love for the land shaped his character.

Possessing an inquisitive mind, Lionel was known for his kind, humble, and loyal nature. A man who marched to the beat of his own drum, he left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know him. Lionel's parting words were always, "God bless you," a reflection of his caring and benevolent spirit.

Lionel is survived by his brother Robert (Lucie) Chevrier, sisters Lucille (John) McCurrie, and Louise (Marc) Huneault. He will be fondly remembered by his nephews and nieces, Joël, Gilles (Aimée), Justin (Susanna), and Michel (Rima), as well as his great-nieces and nephews, Alabama (Braydon), Seth (Bri), and Kiefer.

Lionel was preceded in death by his mother, Marie Chevrier (née Carrobourg), in 1996, and his father, Jean-Paul Chevrier, in 2011. The legacy of Lionel Joseph Chevrier lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May he rest in eternal peace.
