ROGER DENIS COUTU

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Roger Denis Coutu on Saturday, December 12, 2020.

Roger is survived by his loving wife Rita, his children Maria, Phil, Michelle, Kristen, Nicole and their families. Also left to mourn are Rita’s children Allison, Andrea, Travis and their families.

Roger was born and raised in St. Boniface and attended St. Paul’s College. He worked in the family funeral business for several years then went on to have a successful career in Sales and Marketing with Penmans and Wengers. Roger’s last 14 years of his working career were spent as owner and operator of Iron Horse Security.

Roger was an avid sports fan who played football, hockey, golf and court sports. He was thrilled when the Bombers finally won the Grey Cup last year.  His passion for horses started at a very early age. He had show horses, cutting horses and several race horses at Assiniboine Downs. Roger also loved to travel. Roger and Rita spent many great vacation times travelling through as many states in the USA as they could. Many winters were enjoyed in Mexico and Costa Rica.

There will be no funeral service at this time.
