Agenor loved to work and always made friends on all job sites, he always had jokes to share and enjoyed conversations with coworkers.
Agenor loved sports especially the Winnipeg Jets, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, watching WWE with his grandsons Liam and Owen, horse racing at the downs, casino outings, deer hunting and most of all scenic drives with Valerie to various countryside’s where they would pack a lunch, enjoy the view, and watch for wildlife. Agenor enjoyed going for daily walks, chatting with neighbors, and helping out around their block, he was a friendly man who made a friend everywhere he went, he especially treasured his friendship with Lawrence Laviolette.
Agenor was an incredibly special man who touched the lives of many and will be missed beyond words. The family would like to thank all the friends and family that have been a support during this very difficult time. The family is thankful for the compassion and care received by the palliative care team at home and at the St. Boniface Hospital. We would also like to acknowledge and thank the Never Alone Cancer Foundation for their kindness and support.
