Jean Paul Surette Obituary (1954

It is with great respect that we remember the life of Jean Paul Surette, who was born on September 25, 1954 in Kamloops, BC, Canada. Jean Paul was a compassionate, dedicated, loving, and generous soul who touched the lives of many. His light shone brightly in the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing him, creating lasting memories that will be cherished forever. Jean Paul was a dedicated lot attendant, working diligently at a car dealership for over five years. His passion for his work was only surpassed by his love for his family. In the words of novelist George Eliot, "What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?" Jean Paul embodied this quote, prioritizing his family above everything else and always being there for them in times of need. In his spare time, he loved to drone, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. Jean Paul is survived by his loving wife of over 42 years, Brenda McLaren. He was preceded in death by his father, Emery Surette, his mother, Margaret Surette, his brother, Adelor, and his cherished daughter, Judy McLaren. As we remember Jean Paul, let us not dwell on his departure, but rather celebrate the remarkable life he lived and the countless ways he enriched the lives of those around him. As poet Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Jean Paul Surette made people feel loved, valued, and cared for. We encourage all who knew Jean Paul to celebrate his life by sharing your favorite memories and photos on his memorial page.
