It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Luc Joseph Raymond Sabourin, 89, on December 3, 2024, at Morris General Hospital surrounded by his loved ones.
Luc is survived by his loving wife Yvette (Lafond) and his two sons, Paul (Chrystal) and Rossel (Bonnie). His cherished grandchildren and great grandchildren: Colin (Michelle), children, Bella and Olivia; Marc (Melanie), children, Remi and Noah; Karine (Travis), children, Everett, Bennett, and Barrett; Kristen (Marc); Berit (Devante), and Wyatt. He is also survived by his brother, Marc, sister-in-laws, Corrine and Therese and brother-in-law Donat.
Luc was predeceased by his parents, Ulric and Elizabeth, and his siblings, Florence (Gerard), Cecile (Roland), Rose (Louis), Theodore (Bella), Lucie (Norbert), Amedee, Denise, Lorraine (Bernard), and Roland.
Born in St. Jean Baptiste, Manitoba, on August 21, 1935. He grew up with a deep connection to his roots, beginning his farming career at the age of 12. A passionate, successful and a straight shooter farmer, Luc dedicated his life to the land and found immense joy in the work he loved, especially his beloved John Deere combines.
Luc’s career was not without its challenges. Dealing with the notorious Red River flooding and the laborious task of building ice roads to access his farm were just a few of the obstacles he faced. But Luc’s resilience and determination saw him through these hardships, and he continued to thrive in his farming career despite the tough conditions. Luc's life was also marked by his love of dealing with salesmen over buying and selling equipment, whether it was a tractor, a combine, or anything in between. Luc was always up for a good deal finishing with a bit of fun and a cold beer in the process.
Luc leaves behind a legacy of love and pride in his family, as well as a circle of friends whom he enjoyed travelling, fishing, curling, socializing and hockey on TV. His legacy lives on in the values he instilled in those around him. Luc will bedeeply missed by all who knew him.
A very special word of appreciation to Dr. Micheal Fraser and all staff of the Morris General Hospital for their care and kindness.
Funeral to be held at St. Jean Parish church in St. Jean Baptiste on Wednesday, December 18 at 2:00 p.m. Power point presentation will be at 1:30 p.m. Lunch with friendship and beverages will follow.

As time marches on, the pioneers of St.Jean-Baptiste, are less. However, their hard-working, large families, the stories and memories will live on, in once was a vibrant, growing, French community. Proud to say my restaurant and services played a very small part so I can also say my roots are here. Luc and Yvette were friends that gave warmth with their eyes, hearts, and family gatherings here. Best wishes and sympathies to Yvette and family. Susan Gray - Posted by: Susan Gray (Aquaintance) on: Dec 15, 2024

Hello Yvette. Sorry to hear of Luc's passing. You probably don't remember me. I used to work for Sawatzky's Home Entertainment Centre as their electronics service technician. I was at your house a number of times to do service work on your antenna and other electronics. Anyway I noticed Luc in the obituaries and thought I'd offer my condolences. - Posted by: Siegfried (Siggy) Beha (Business) on: Dec 07, 2024
