He was predeceased by his loving wife Annette and eldest son Donald. He is survived and lovingly remembered by his sons Eugene (Lee-Anne), Denis Jr. (Laurice) and daughter Lorraine (Paul), along with grandchildren Chris (Jen), Darnel, Dera-Rae, Arion, Natalie, Denis Jr. Jr., Melanie, Mackenzie, Morgan, Justin (Erin) and Colin (Dylan). He will also be dearly missed by his special friend Phylis who has been a great source of support and comfort over the past few years. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to her for everything she has done for him. Denis was born on March 28, 1931, to Thomas and Emilienne of South Junction, Manitoba. He moved to Winnipeg, met his sweetheart Annette and they married in 1958. Denis retired from Union Carbide (Praxair) in 1988 after a very successful career driving truck and running maintenance. He loved the outdoors and spent many hours cutting wood with his homemade sawmill. He was also an avid hunter and gardener and took great pride in passing those traditions and skills down to his children and grandchildren. Always willing to lend a hand to anyone, he was very sociable man who will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. The family extends their gratitude to the staff of Cathedral Manor for all of their help and support during Dad's short stay there and to the nurses at St. Boniface Hospital for their kindness and care. At Dad's request, cremation has taken place and a funeral mass celebrating his life will be held on Wednesday, February 18, 2015, at 1:30 p.m. in the Notre Dame De L'Assomption Catholic Church, 609 Leola Street.

Denis was a great neighbour. He will be missed. I loved his sense of humor. He was a very kind man. In the summer time we always talked about his canning of tomatoes and pickles. He was always so grateful with handing out the garlic and dill weed. Denis was always there for me in the summer especially making sure my tires were pumped before I went for a bike ride. We will miss you. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Bonnie Porter (Friend ) on: Feb 17, 2015

Our condolences to the Gobeil Family. He was one of the most generous, kind and hard working man I have ever known. He was also knowledgeable about so many things, if you needed advice he had the answers. He was also very humorous, outgoing and courageous. Uncle Denis will be sorely missed, thank you for all the memories. - Posted by: Nicole Dubois (niece) on: Feb 14, 2015
