Henri (Hank) Bedard was born and raised in the City of Dryden, passed away at his home after a short battle with Cancer. He was a gentle soul who would do anything to help his friends, family and strangers. Henri was a man of many talents who loved the outdoors, the man behind all the landscaping and buildings on our property. He took dreams and made them a reality. Henri’s passion was operating heavy equipment; he spent the last few years as a grader operator and loved every minute of his job. Henri was also the life of the party always cracking jokes, even during the worse days of his cancer he still managed to make us laugh. His sick sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.
Henri was loved by so many, wife Nathalie, children Dustin Hampton, Kyle Ben Bedard (Brina), Daniel Bedard (Destiny), Mike Bedard (April) and foster daughter Shelley Dunn (Robert), brothers Roger (Anna), Richard (Dawn), sister Chantal (Rob), in-laws J-man (Marlene) and Nancy (Stephane), nieces and nephews Charity (Sean), their children Kiya, Brylee and Miryah, Ehren (Lisa) their child Ben, Nikki (Shawn), Sonja (Luke),Denae, Aimee (Jordan) their child Skylar, Chloe, Steven, Leah and Bianca.
Henri was predeceased by daughter Jaymie, mother Lucille, father Ben, grandmother Evelyn, brother Jim, as well as numerous aunts and uncles.
Upon Henri’s request a celebration of life will be held at his home in the spring of 2019 when all College and University students return home.
