With deep sorrow and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Yvon Rainville at the age of 84, on Tuesday, July 5th, 2022, at the Georgian Bay General Hospital in Midland.

Dear son of late Simeon “Sam” and late Beatrice (nee Couillard) Rainville. He has been reunited with his beloved wife Cecile Rainville (predeceased).
Beloved father of Carole Rainville (George Sykora), Gilles Rainville (Colette), Joffre “Jeff” Rainville, Michel “Mike” Rainville. Also remembered by Aline Belzile, mother of his children. The one and only “Popomme” (grandfather) of Michelle Wardell (John), Melanie Reed (Derick), Brigitte Desjardins (Louis), Amelie Dallaire (Kevin), Sophie (predeceased), and Joey Rainville (Shanelle Lacasse). Lovingly remembered by his great-grandchildren Grace, Mya, Landon, Brody, Liam, Zoe, Cameron, Samuel, and Rosalie.

Dear brother of Maurice (Dot predeceased), Denise Rakochy (Ted predeceased), Rolly (Pauline), Louise Quenneville (Gilbert), and Carmen Payment (Rheal predeceased). Sadly, missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends. He will also be missed by his stepchildren Julie Rainville-Brun (Jean) and Louise Rainville-Beauchesne (Mike), and his step-grandchildren Joel and Michaelle Brun.

Yvon “Popomme” will be fondly remembered for his joy of life, radiant smile, infectious laugh, love of music, and his flashlights with frequent battery replacements to ensure the brightest light. He enjoyed programming his GPS with the best pickerel spots on Lake Nipissing’s Greening Bay and shared his passion for fishing with his loved ones. Canadian Tire will never be the same without him. Yvon was well known for his sweet tooth, and Oreo blizzards or honey crullers from Tim Hortons were amongst some of his favourites. Yvon worked at Inco for 30+ years.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the staff at Bayfield Retirement Home, Dr. Gaffney, Dr. MacSween, and the staff at the Georgian Bay General Hospital for their excellent care and compassion.

The funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday, August 27th, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. at the Paroisse Notre Dame du Rosaire followed by a Celebration of Life at the Carrefour Senateur Rheal Belisle.
