It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Laurent Maurice Sabourin on March 13, 2025, at the age of 75. Laurent enjoyed rock ‘n roll, tinkering in the garage, and carpentry. He was a proud farmer who would often shout out ‘look girls it’s God’s country!’ any time he drove past his fields. He had a tremendous love of the outdoors enjoying fishing and hunting. He especially loved camping with his family. His daughters will never forget the annual trip to Cypress Hills. Together, the family would swim, play mini golf, eat burnt toast, and get soaked by rain. At night, Dad would tell silly ghost stories and reminisce about his misadventures as a young man. These particular stories often ended with a chuckle and a stern warning to never attempt any of his past shenanigans.
He is survived by his daughters Nadine Byas (Colin) and Michelle Faubert (Ted), as well as his beloved grandchildren Shilo, Brynne, Logan, Shanna, and Reed.
A Funeral Service for Laurent was held at the St. George’s Roman Catholic Church in Assiniboia on March 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM. A reception for family and friends will follow afterwards in the Parish center. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating towards the care and upkeep of the Lisieux Cemetery through the St. John’s Parish in Rockglen, PO Box 370 Rockglen, SK S0H 3R0.
In living memory of Laurent, a memorial planting will be made by W.J. Jones & Son Ltd. Please sign the memorial register at website: .
