Obituary For Orel Desgagne

Orel Desgagne passed away Sunday February 7, 2016, at the age of 78 years.

He was born April 27, 1937, in Eaglesham, AB to Anthony Desgagne and Georgina Hebert.

He married Jacqueline Chamberland on November 7, 1962 in Eaglesham Catholic Church.

On July 25, 1963. Paul, his only child, was born. Orel started Orel’s Esso, which sold and serviced Arctic Cat snowmobiles, along with repairs, parts and sales.

In 1981, he sold the business and moved to Fairview, shortly thereafter starting Fairview Bearing Supply. Through hard work and dedication, he built a successful business, but family always came first. His dedication and sacrifice for his family will forever be remembered.

Orel was predeceased by his parents Anthony and Georgina; brothers: Roland, Armand and Lionel; and sister Lucy.

Jackie Paul and Family We were shocked to hear about Orel! We didn't realize he wasn't well. We are not home until April, so we're didn't make it up for the funeral. Orel was a very nice person and friend. He thought the world of his wife and family and would do everything in his realm to help and encourage them. You will have your memories of your life together to help you through the lonely days ahead. May those memories bring you comfort and peace. Don't stop living, keep on going, your time on earth is not done. Take care of yourself.
