Donations in Memory of Pierre Lajoie

In Loving Memory of Pierre Lajoie – Supporting Leanne, Regan & Eva

Hi everyone,

My name is Lindsey, and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my sister, Leanne, who has just experienced the unimaginable. On June 12th, her beloved husband Pierre passed away suddenly and far too soon at the age of 47.

Pierre was a one-of-a-kind human—deeply loving, quietly hilarious, and someone who made people feel at ease just by being around him. Whether it was his quick wit, his signature smirk, or his dad jokes that somehow always landed (even when they really shouldn’t have), Pierre had a way of bringing warmth and laughter into every room. He was a devoted partner to Leanne and a deeply engaged, loving dad to their two beautiful children, Regan (11) and Eva (8), who adored him beyond measure.

This loss has turned their world upside down. Beyond the immense emotional toll, Leanne is now navigating the heavy weight of practical realities—managing a household, parenting through grief, and facing the sudden loss of Pierre’s income. We’ve created this fundraiser to help bridge that gap.

Funds will be used to cover:

• Immediate and unforeseen expenses related to Pierre’s passing

• Ongoing support for Regan and Eva during this deeply vulnerable time

• The financial cushion Leanne needs as she begins to rebuild life without her partner

Pierre would be the first to say, “Don’t make this all mushy”—so while we hold space for the heartbreak, we also honour him by celebrating the joy and humour he brought into our lives. He made the most of every moment, and in his memory, we are doing our best to do the same.

If you’re able to give—thank you. If you can share this fundraiser—thank you. Every bit of support means the world.

With love and gratitude,

Lindsey
