Rene passed away at home on June 1, 2025, at the age of 64.
Father of LeeAnn Bélair and grandfather of Natashia and Preston. Son of the late Albert Bellerive and late Juliette Bellerive. Brother of Rheal (late Helen), late Roger, Raymond, Ginette (Don Bold), late Denis, late Mario and Guy Bellerive. Uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Rene had his way of making you laugh and would always say “Live One Day at A Time” and “Don’t Worry Be Happy”. That’s the way he was, happy to visit and sit and have a drink with you. Family was his go to. He enjoyed camping, tenting, bonfires, kayaking, swimming and looked forward to it every summer. He loved his music loud and could always make you smile with his singing. He was a handyman and could fix anything and everything. He kept busy with remodeling his home as that was his pride and joy.
He will be missed by many.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
