The family of Gilles Lucien Dumas sadly announces his passing on September 6, 2026, at the age of 70, at Blanche River Health – Kirkland Lake Site.

Gilles was born to the late Réal and Gabrielle (née DelGuidice) Dumas. He is survived by his loving wife, Meredith (née MacDonald), and his children: Louise Desjardins (Jean-Noël), David, Ginette, and Jarrett Ellerton (Stephanie). He was the beloved Pépère to Amelia, Olivia-Rose, Daxten, Makayla, and Carter, and a cherished Godfather to Gary, Diane, and Mary. Gilles will also be deeply missed by his fur-babies, Emmy and Bear.

He is survived by his siblings: Aline, Lucie Moffat (Robbie), Donald, Mike (Joanne), and Marc (Marline); his sisters-in-law, Meaghan Sipos (Larry) and Mylee MacDonald (Scott Smith); and his mother-in-law, Rosie MacDonald. Gilles has gone to be reunited with his late nephew, Guy Guy, and his in-laws, Neil and Sydney MacDonald.

Gilles was an avid fisherman who took great joy in being outdoors, and he loved playing the guitar. He also loved to tinker with all sorts of things—frequently taking objects apart to see how they worked and rebuilding them, often with plenty of spare parts left over.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all the PSWs, doctors, and nurses at the hospital who provided compassionate care and made Dad’s final days comfortable.

In keeping with Gilles' wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Pioneer Hall in Ramore (831 Ferguson Ave, Ramore, ON).

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Gilles may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to a charity of your choice.

Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to the Timiskaming Funeral Cooperative.

C’est avec une profonde tristesse que la famille de Gilles Lucien Dumas annonce son décès, survenu le 6 septembre 2026, à l’âge de 70 ans, à Blanche River Health – site de Kirkland Lake.

Gilles était le fils de feu Réal et de feu Gabrielle (née DelGuidice) Dumas. Il laisse dans le deuil son épouse bien-aimée, Meredith (née MacDonald), ainsi que ses enfants : Louise Desjardins (Jean-Noël), David, Ginette, et Jarrett Ellerton (Stephanie). Il était le Pépère adoré d’Amelia, Olivia-Rose, Daxten, Makayla et Carter, ainsi que le parrain chéri de Gary, Diane et Mary. Gilles manquera également beaucoup à ses compagnons à quatre pattes, Emmy et Bear.

Il laisse aussi dans le deuil ses frères et sœurs : Aline, Lucie Moffat (Robbie), Donald, Mike (Joanne) et Marc (Marline); ses belles-sœurs Meaghan Sipos (Larry) et Mylee MacDonald (Scott Smith); ainsi que sa belle-mère, Rosie MacDonald. Gilles est parti rejoindre son neveu, feu Guy Guy, et ses beaux-parents, feu Neil et feu Sydney MacDonald.

Grand passionné de pêche, Gilles adorait être en plein air et aimait beaucoup jouer de la guitare. Bricoleur dans l’âme, il aimait démonter toutes sortes d’objets pour en comprendre le fonctionnement et les réassembler, laissant souvent plusieurs pièces en surplus.

La famille tient à exprimer sa plus sincère gratitude envers les préposés aux bénéficiaires (PAB), les médecins et les infirmières de l’hôpital qui lui ont prodigué des soins empreints de compassion et qui ont rendu ses derniers jours paisibles.

Selon les volontés de Gilles, la crémation a eu lieu. Une célébration de sa vie se tiendra le samedi 3 octobre 2026, de 13 h à 16 h, à la salle Pioneer de Ramore (831, avenue Ferguson, Ramore, ON).

Vos témoignages de sympathie peuvent se traduire par un don à la Société canadienne du cancer ou à un organisme de votre choix.

Les arrangements pour la crémation ont été confiés à la Coopérative funéraire de Timiskaming.
