Denis Rancourt Obituary

Denis Rancourt, 60, of Wethersfield, passed away on the morning of August 5, 2023 with his family lovingly by his side.

Denis was born on February 1, 1963 to Richard and Rejeanne Rancourt in St. George, Canada. He started out working as a machinist but fairly quickly moved to be a carpenter. He continued doing this work until he had to go into early retirement due to medical complications. He spent his spare time with his friends and family and was a big fan of almost all sports, his main favorites being golf, baseball, hockey and bowling.

He is survived by his mother Rejeanne Rancourt, his brother Michael Rancourt and partner Nancy Lessard, niece and nephew Cynthia and Steve as well as many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. Denis was predeceased by his father Richard who passed on January 19, 1995. He loved us all in his own way and we will continue to love and cherish him in our memories.

Friends and relatives are invited to call on Saturday August 12, 2023 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Duksa Family Funeral Homes at Newington Memorial, 20 Bonair Ave., Newington. To share a memory please visit us at www.duksa.net.

Denis you were the best! You accepted me right off the bat and showed me unconditional love and friendship. Watching yours and Ryan's "uncle nephew" dynamic will always bring a smile to my face. Rest in peace, we will celebrate at Hooter's in your honor. Je vous offre mes condoléances
