It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alain Bibeau, born in Lauzon, Quebec to Olivette and Odilon Bibeau, on March 8, 1953.
Alain is survived by his loving wife Denise Bibeau of 51 years, son’s Rene (Alicia), Marco (Shawna), and Mitchel (Tamara), grandchildren Lexy, Aiden, Dustin, Karson, Kirsten, Ella, Cassidy, Ava, and chosen granddaughters Ashtyn, Emersyn, and McKenna. Alain is also survived by his brothers Andre and Yvon Bibeau, sisters Edith, Helen, and Celine Bibeau, Brother in-law Denis (Mimi) Pelletier, Sister’s in-law Anita, Diane (Richard) MacArthur, Carole Pelletier, Lynne Pelletier (Shane), and Rachel (Dorval) Gagne.
Alain was predeceased by his parents Olivette and Odilon Bibeau, his mother and father in-law, Rosaire and Irene Pelletier, and his brother Fern Bibeau who was his best friend. Alain leaves behind many nieces and nephews and numerous cherished friends to mourn his passing.
Alain met the love of his life Denise Pelletier on September 9, 1973 and soon after they were married on July 5, 1974 settling down in Dryden Ontario until his passing. Alain worked most of his career at the Pulp and Paper Mill in Dryden until his early retirement at age 55. He enjoyed playing in all sports, camping, fishing with his friends, and travelling.
Alain was known to many as “Big Al” or “the Big Guy”. He was a presence to all, enjoyed playing in all sports, and the activities afterwards, until his participation was halted for two knee replacement surgeries. He enjoyed golf in his later years with his brother, hunting at the family cabin with his boys and grandsons and his best friends Lorne, Dale, and many others.
Alain’s favourite place was the family camp where he passed away very peacefully on May 17, 2025. He loved to sit on his patio swing while Denise gardened. He loved to stoke up his wood stove which was often too hot for most people but not for Al.
Alain’s greatest love and joy in life was watching his boys and grandkids play their sports and travelling to hockey tournaments. You would often find Al at the arena, football field, baseball park or, the soccer fields enjoying whatever game his grandchildren were playing.
Alain was stricken with kidney disease which led him to being on dialysis. He fought so hard to stay with his family but he was so tired in his last few weeks.
We would like to thank our friends and family for all the love and support.
There will be no visitation as cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the DRHC- Dialysis Unit, PO Box 3003, Dryden ON, P8N 2Y8

We had so much fun working and I can still see him dancing around the lab when that song with the ladies came on, ( a little bit of Monica etc). Denise if there is anything I can do for you and your family please let me know. Nothings off the table. For you one day at a time will be hard for awhile. Take care of yourself. Love Kandiss

May 22, 2025 at 1:09 pmWhat a wonderful man you got to share a life with, Denise. He had such a strong but quiet presence. He was one of those rare people who leave a lifetime impression; once a friend, a friend forever. I know you will all miss him.

May 22, 2025 at 1:14 pmAl was a teammate of mine in old timers hockey. He was such a great man. We had such a close knit team. Al and Dale would organize our trips to Brandon to play hockey. We enjoyed many laughs and good times. The news of Al’s passing was devastating to hear. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and the whole Bibeau family. He played a huge part in my life as a teammate and a friend and Will always be there in our great memories we had playing Old timers hockey

May 22, 2025 at 3:36 pmDenise, I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Al’s passing! I played broomball with Al for a few years-and took some hard line-drives off his stick to my arse! He was always so much fun and so kind! Always loved running into him around town to chat for a few minutes. So sorry for your family’s loss. He was a great man.
