Obituary of George Dollard Sadoquis

SADOQUIS, George Dollard – George passed away peacefully at Bluewater Health on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at the age of 76. Beloved husband and best friend of Wendy (Coutanche). Proud father of Dr. Shea Cox (Scott) of Temecula, CA. Dear brother of Sandra Pullen (late Neil), Tim Sadoquis (Kerry) and Marty Sadoquis (Joanne). Brother-in-law of Guy Coutanche (Joan), Thunder Bay, Mel Coutanche (Barb), Horseshoe Valley and John Coutanche (Anita), Winnipeg. He is also survived by many adoring nieces and nephews on whose lives he had a profound and lasting impact. Predeceased by parents Dollard and Norma Sadoquis, father-in-law Gladwyn and mother-in-law Margaret Coutanche, and much loved uncles George, Butch and Marcel Sadoquis and aunt Betty Cribben.

George was a proud member of the Abenaki of Odanak First Nation. He spent most of his life in Kirkland Lake, Ontario and in a beautiful log cabin he built with his own hands on Crystal Lake. With an unforgettable personality, George was the life of every party and always had a song for every occasion. He will be greatly missed by his many friends in Kirkland Lake and on Crystal Lake, especially Mike Sutton and Jean Lozeau. Poker games, fishing trips, and football bets will never be the same without him. George truly was a bright light and a North Star to us all.

The family would like to thank the nurses and doctors of Bluewater Health who treated him with the utmost care and compassion during the final days of his life.  At George’s request cremation has taken place and no services will be held. In George’s memory, call a friend, tell a joke, have a drink or give a donation to a cause that is close to your heart. Arrangements entrusted to the McKenzie & Blundy Funeral Home & Cremation Centre. Messages of condolence and memories may be left at www.mckenzieblundy.com.
