Obituary for Reginald "Reg" Poisson
Reginald “Reg, Reggie” Laurier Poisson unexpectedly passed away on Friday, November 10th, 2023 in Medicine Hat, AB at the age of 71.
He will be sadly missed by his wife and best friend, Marilyn Poisson, of 18 years. He is also lovingly remembered by his daughters, Jennifer (Greg) Jalbert and Kendra (Brandon) Kobley; his step-son, Mike (Dawn) Purdy; his mother, Velma Berg; four grandchildren, Hunter, Zoe, Brie, Noah; step-grandchildren, Victoria (Kyle), and Alex; and great-grandson, Noah.
Reg was predeceased by his brothers, Rick Poisson and Wilfred Poisson; father, Laurier Poisson; as well as his grandparents and numerous aunts and uncles.
A retired mechanic, Reg loved being surrounded by friends and being at the campground. Winter months were spent building or fixing something and waiting for camping season again. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, taking his Camaro out for a spin, jumping into an impromptu jam session and working on Sudoku puzzles. He lived his life to the fullest, would give the shirt off his back to help a friend and always “handled it”. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family and all who knew him.
The Memorial Service will be held at Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel, 1 Dunmore Road SE, Medicine Hat, AB on Monday, November 20th, 2023 at 11:00 am with Rev. Dave Pollard officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Regional Office—Southern Alberta Branch, 6007 1A Street SW, Calgary, AB T2H 0G5 info.sab@kidney.ca.
