Obituary of Gary John Pask

PASK, Gary John

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Gary John Pask, a devoted husband, cherished father and grandfather, beloved brother, and loyal friend, on May 26, 2025 at the age of 64.

Gary was born in North Bay where he has deep family roots and many cherished memories. He dedicated 38 years of service to Canada Post and was fortunate to enjoy the last three years in retirement. Gary was a man of many passions; a competitive tennis player, an avid reader with a deep love for history, and a gentle soul who had a special bond with animals.

Above all, Gary loved his family. His greatest joy came from time spent with his beloved wife and best friend of 40 years, Pamela Pask (nee Farmer), his cherished daughters, Jessica Pask (Branden Deschambault) and Brittany Pask, and his grandchildren Oliver and Teddy Deschambault. His faithful furry companions, Tuck, Maggie and Mika were never far from his side and they will miss him dearly.

He also leaves behind his siblings; Greg Pask, Joan Ronan (late Patrick), Judy Pask (late Gordon) and Christine Bougourd (Mike), his sister-in-law Mary Farmer and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Gary is reunited with his parents, Roy and Patricia Pask and his brother-in-law Jim Farmer.

Though this was all so sudden, the legacy of love, compassion, and dedication that Gary leaves behind will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew him.

The family wishes to extend special thanks the many staff and medical professionals at Windsor Regional Hospital-Ouellette Campus, in particular the nurses and doctors in the critical care unit for their help and support.

As per Gary's wishes, cremation has taken place with Cremation First (Windsor) 519-398-9188.
