Raymond Paradis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 21 to Sep. 22, 2017.
Raymond Paradis 19-Sept 1962 to 15-Sept 2017. It is with many tears and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Raymond Paradis in a long, tenacious and courageous fight against cancer. Never losing courage and never without a smile, we will always cherish the undeniably special man Ray was to everyone. Ray would always say to his beautiful wife and daughters, "I love you to the moon and back". Raymond will be dearly missed and always remembered lovingly by his dear wife Livia Paradis [Lacika] and his three beautiful angels, his daughters, Renée, Lauren and Danielle. As well his parents, Bud & Diane Paradis; sister Michelle Dupuis [Leon] Avery & Alden; sister Denise Bourque [Earl] Kieran & Kara; brother Mark Paradis [Sandra] Anthony. Livia Paradis' family with mother, Marianna Lacika; brother Walter Lacika [Liz] Tasha & Cassie; sister Diane Lacika [Derrick]



The family would like to acknowledge and extend a sincere thanks to the staff of 5F of the University Hospital for the exceptional care they gave Ray and their constant support of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation.



The funeral mass will take place on Friday, September 22nd at 6:00 PM at St. Matthew Catholic Parish [13131 - 86 Street NW]. followed by Ray's 'Celebration of Life' at Balwin Community Hall [12904 74 St NW] at 7:30 PM.

To the entire Paradis family,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of Ray.
He was my best friend growing up, and despite the miles between us in adulthood, I always considered Ray to be my best friend. Most of my life's milestones included Ray at my side. He was my brother, and I was lucky enough to be welcomed into his family's home as a member. We competed, we fought, but what I remember the most is the laughter and fun we shared. I lost a part of me with his passing. I am a better person for having known him. Thank you Ray. I'll miss you. Than you to all the Paradis' for being my extended family.
