CÔTÉ, Alexandre

It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Denis Côté on July 24, 2024 at the age of 76, as well as the sudden passing of beloved elder son, Alexandre, 39 years old, on August 3, 2024. Left behind to mourn are wife and mother, Catherine, and younger son and brother, Olivier.

Denis was the eldest son of late Pierre-Emile and late Marie-Anne Côté (Marie-Ange Chayer), caring brother to Louis (Odette St-Laurent) and Bernard, godfather to Jake Levine and loving uncle to Ian, Jake and David Levine, Adina Bergstrom, Sherry Velthuysen, Candace Wilson, Marie-Hélène and Jerome Côté. He was a loving and loyal friend who will be forever missed by both the 2- legged and 4-legged beings who enriched his life.

Denis lived for many years with Primary Progressive Aphasia.  He received wonderful care and love during his last 7 years at CHSLD Ernest Brisson (Maison Bon Séjour). 

Denis was a proud Saguenéen, wonderful cook of regional specialties, maker of exceptional pies and cakes, connaisseur of fine wines and a good martini with lots of olives, host extraordinaire at Christmas and summer gatherings, lover of Sarasota, Caribbean cruises and California, but a curmudgeon when called upon to help with Christmas preparations, especially putting up the tree until it was « perfect».  He was also a wonderful - not perfect but wonderful - partner and papa.

Alexandre left this world much too soon.  During his short life, he made great friendships, spoiled his entourage with his culinary skills … like Papa, like son…and knew the joy and the power of love. In his final years, he struggled with anxiety and searched for greater meaning in his life.

A celebration in honour of Denis and Alexandre will take place at the Cooperative funéraire de l’Outaouais, 1369 La Verendrye West Boulevard, Gatineau. Catherine and Olivier will welcome visitors on August 23 at 1:15 pm, followed by a celebration of life at 2 pm. A light lunch will be served thereafter.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to a cause that will help our brothers and sisters and 4-footed friends feel that they are not alone or forgotten.

I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you, and I wish I could attend the celebration of life for your husband and your son and give you a long hug. My heart aches for you.

La famille Côté

I'm very saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Alexandre.

Alexandre and I met in 2004 while we were both in CEGEP. We shared many interests and quickly became close friends. During those formative years we'd see each other almost every week.

I loved Alexandre's wry sense of humour. We'd often give each other a hard time, but it was always in good fun. Beneath the snark, he was a kind and considerate person. Someone I was always happy to see, and who I considered a great friend.

I regret that we lost touch. I would often think about the good times we shared and always hoped that he was doing well.

Wishing peace and comfort to his family,
Andrew
