DARRELL LESAGE

November 14, 1963 - June 22, 2022

It is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of Darrell Andrew Lesage on June 22, 2022 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

 

Darrell was born on November 14, 1963 in Calgary, Alberta. He was the oldest of three siblings. Darrell had several passions including music, comedy and love of animals.  

 

Darrell was a professional musician who played several different instruments and travelled extensively throughout Canada doing what he loved, which was making others happy by sharing his gifts of music, laughter and most importantly, kindness.

 

In his spare time, he performed as a stand-up comedian in Winnipeg, Manitoba for several years. He was never afraid to try something new and take on any challenge thrown his way right from the time he was young.  

 

Darrell is survived by his father, Gilbert Lesage; siblings, Debbie Lesage (Paul), and Todd Lesage (Glenda), niece Shaelyn (Chad) and their two children Kieva and Ian; step sister Lisa Monych and her two children, Caitlin and Bryce, as well as his step children, Amy, Melissa, Roy and Wesley.   

 

He was predeceased by mother, Dorothy Lesage; step mother Judy Lesage (Monych); grandparents, Maurice and Mathilda Lesage and Margaret and Maurice Pledger; as well as his wife Rose Lesage (Scallion).

 

Darrell shared his life with many and will be deeply missed by all who loved him.

 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Darrell's family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.

I was replying to a poll on Facebook as to who was my favourite all time drummer.  I automatically thought of and wrote down Darrell’s name then was directed to his obituary. We lost touch after high school. Always considered him a good friend and an amazing drummer !  My sympathies to all who loved him. RIP old friend .

I lost contact with Darrell in the last few years  and was shocked to stumble across this. Darrell made friends with everyone but he was the best friend I ever had. He had some hard times but always fought his way through, and just seemed indestructible. I can’t believe he’s gone. The last time I saw him, he seemed to be seeking God. I hope he found Him and salvation through faith in Jesus. My heart goes out to Gill and Debbie and Todd. Stephen B.

I always smile when I think of Darrell, he never failed to make us laugh. As kids, his made-up songs at Christmas and later on, we would go see him at his comedy sets. I’ll never forget his rendition of “If I had a million dollars” sung at his set as “If I was a little taller”  Rest In Peace cousin.
