It is with heavy hearts that the family of Denis Bryar, husband of the late Donna (Chiasson) Bryar wishes to announce his passing which occurred peacefully on Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at the Chaleur Regional Hospital at the age of 54.

He also leaves to morn, his niece, Tracy Breau, his nephews: Shawn Boudreau, Corey Glidden, Chaz McParland; his godson, Danny Boudreau and Dawson Bryar which he teasingly named “Chicklet” and several uncles, aunts and cousins.

Denis worked most of his life in the mining industry. Most recently for Boart Longyear Canada and previously for Progressive Diamond Drilling. He loved his loyal companion, his dog “Moe”.
