Obituary

It is with profound sadness that the family of Aaron Karl John Desmarais (Sam) announces his passing on February 13, 2026, at the age of 62, in Ottawa. 

Aaron was the youngest of six children and is predeceased by his parents Clovis and Elizabeth Desmarais (Grummisch); sister Clovia Desroches; brothers James and Donald. 

He is survived by his children: Colin; Katrina; Treena; Adam (Taylor); and grandchildren Hassan; Bella; Zoe; Madi and Tori; and his sisters Stacia Escalante (Marco) and Arpa Robert (Ed); and his nieces and nephews Danny, Marco, Samantha, Victoria, Raymond, Erica, Rebecca, Gregory, Ryan, and Christine. 

As a lifelong resident of Ottawa, he is also survived by lifelong friends: Don Fournier; James & Christine, Darryl & Christie. 

Aaron was renowned and loved for his many talents, whether it was painting, wall covering, home repair, car repair / restoration, or computer repair. He was quick with advice and quicker with an offer to help. 

In recent years, Aaron has experienced many significant health challenges and through sheer persistence he triumphed over them all. Until the latest which took him from our presence to his eternal reward. 

Special thanks to the Montfort 5th floor medical personnel who were truly phenomenal. We are especially grateful for the compassionate care provided by Dr. Wildhine Lominy. 

Cremation has taken place. Friends and families are invited to a Service to be held Friday March 13th at 11am at Good Shepherd Church 3092 Innes Rd, Orleans, ON. A time of tributes, tunes and refreshments will follow the service in the Parish Hall.
