Dean Joseph Mainville
January 8, 1964 – November 16, 2025

The family announces with great sadness the passing of Dean Mainville.

Dean’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his daughters, Kaylee and Jenna Mainville, whom he adored and cherished. He was the “fun dad” — endlessly enthusiastic, entertaining, and devoted. He taught his girls to bike, ski, and skate, supported them unconditionally, and celebrated every accomplishment with pride and love.

Dean is predeceased by his parents, Irene (née Phillippe) and Roland Mainville. He is survived by dear family members: Aunt Delia, cousins Tammy and Tom Gauthier; Uncle Rick, Aunt Fern, Jeanine, Searle, and Jessie Phillippe; and cousins Allan Rozon, Diane, Michael, and Raymond Arcand. Important people in Dean’s life include Rob Sharp & family, Ray Levier, Luc Labrie, and Sandra Comand.

Happiest in nature, Dean loved biking, fishing, canoeing, hiking, camping, and travelling. A talented athlete, he played for The Majors and completed several triathlons. Dean graduated from George Brown College with an Electronics Engineering Diploma and worked for many years as a computer technician.

Humble, genuine, and kind-hearted, Dean was loved by all who knew him.

Respecting his wishes, a private celebration of life was held in his honour. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted with LESSARD Funeral and Cremation Centre.

It is with sadness and a smile that we announce the passing of Diane H. Daviau at the age of 68. She was born on March 16, 1957.

Diane adored her work as a dispatcher with First Student Bus Lines, where she loved her drivers and coworkers like family. Her famous send off and last words are "Have a super-duper great weekend!".

In her early years, Diane not only operated a successful catering business Dy's Cafe, but also poured her heart and soul into every dish she prepared. Her dedication and tireless work ethic were legendary, and anyone who tasted her cooking knew it was made with love. Her strong personality, combined with her infectious laugh made her a beloved figure in both the catering world and at First Student Bus Lines.

Dianes legacy extends far beyond her professional accomplishments. She was a pillar of strength and joy to her family and friends. Whether she was organizing an event or sharing a hearty laugh over coffee, Diane's presence was a gift to anyone who knew her.

Loving wife of Yvan Daviau. Dear mother of Andy Courtemanche (Alia), Richard Courtemanche (Dominique), Stephane Daviau (Angelina), and Chantale Packman (Neil). Cherished grandmother of Hannah Courtemanche, Daylan Courtemanche, Mallory Courtemanche, Jonathan Ritchie, Anthany Ritchie, Melissa Obress, Quintin Jolliffe, Devon Daviau, Emma Daviau, Mason Daviau and Logan Clermont, and great-grandmother of Sebastien Obress.

She is also survived by her brother Roger Dumouchel (Brenda), her sister Joanne Gagnon (Martin), many brothers and sisters-in law, aunt, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, as well as her very best friend Nicole Lafreniere (Lucien), who will all carry forward her legacy of kindness, humour, and dedication. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever live on in the countless lives she’s touched.

Predeceased by her parents Arthure and Gisèle Dumouchel.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Champion for his care and compassion over the years.
