Obituary of Gerard Peter Paul Denomme

Denomme, Gerard

On January 26, 2025 Gerard Peter Paul Denomme, in his 69th year passed away at home after a courageous battle with cancer.  He was surrounded by his wife, best friend and soulmate, Colette, sister Deanna and brother-in-law Steve and his fur babies Domino, Sweetie and Rita.   Dear brother of Carole Constant (Bill), Robert Denomme (Val), Wayne Denomme (Mary), Paul Denomme, Pauline Denomme, and Deanna Griffin (Steve). Predeceased by his parents Leonard and Evelyn and his brother Leonard Jr.  Gerard will be greatly missed by his sister-in-law Starlee (Paul), and his "little sister" Joceline.  Step father to Keyena.  Gerard will be fondly remembered by his aunts, uncles, cousins and their families.  

Gerard loved teaching and he cared about each and every one of his students.  His patience, understanding, creativity and quick-wittedness served him well.  The majority of his career was spent at Clarke Road Secondary School where he was an English teacher and eventually the School to Work Programme teacher.  Gerard loved walking the dogs with Colette, working out, and a multitude of sports--he was always active.  

Special thanks to Deanna and Steve, Uncle Al and Aunt Connie, all of our cherished friends, family and neighbours for their support and help.  Much appreciation for the care Dr. Phua and his team gave to Gerard.  

Cremation has taken place.  Gerard requested no funeral.  In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the Ontario SPCA or an animal charity of your choice or to Myeloma Canada. (John T. Donohue Funeral Home)
