Feb. 27, 1947 – April 23, 2025
Denis Joseph Lizee, resident of High Prairie, Alberta, passed away on April 23, 2025 in High Prairie at the age of 78 years.
Denis was born in High Prairie in 1947 and resided in Prairie Echo until he met his life partner, Linda, in 2000. After never leaving the High Prairie area, he travelled with her to Paris, France (2008) and Atlantic Canada (2013). Travelling was not his passion as he preferred to see the many places Linda went on the Discovery Channel at home.
Denis was a farmer, homesteading land in Prairie Echo, and a mechanic. He farmed with his brothers, Harvey and Roger, and together they built a reputation for their ability to repair all types of farm equipment for farmers throughout Prairie Echo. When Denis wasn’t farming, he worked for Mike Marczyk, as a mechanic, and O’Brien Lumber, as an equipment operator.
After his retirement and move to High Prairie with Linda, Denis relaxed by completing crossword puzzles in which he was an expert. For those who know crosswords, Saturday and Sunday puzzles were something to look forward to. Denis was a solitary, humble and kind person, occasionally seen uptown for the mail and grocery shopping.
Denis is predeceased by his parents, Lucien and Laura Lizee, and siblings, Andy, Guy, Robert, Roger, Joe, Yvonne (Savill) and Monique (Perry).
Denis is survived by his wife of 25 years, Linda Cox, sister Guylaine Hood of Kelowna, B.C., nephew Lavern (Sheila) and their children Carmen and Trent, as well as many other nieces and nephews. He will be forever loved and missed.
Cremation arrangements were under the direction of Chapel of Memories Funeral Homes. With respect to his wishes, there will be no funeral services.
