Alexander Luc Sabourin
It is with broken hearts that we announce the unexpected death of our son Alex Sabourin on Saturday July 13, 2024, in Vancouver BC at the age of 28 years.
Alex is the deeply loved son of Carolyn Brown (John Burke) and Luc Sabourin (Lisa Guthrie), cherished older brother of Emma Sabourin and Matthew Sabourin, and treasured grandson of Nancy Brown.
Alex was the loving and devoted father of Mila Sabourin and will be missed by Mila’s mother Ashley Dulacka, her parents Michelle Gvora and Rob Dulacka along with Ashley’s brother Brandon Dulacka, of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Alex is also remembered by his Aunt Cathy Brown (Shane Calhoun), Aunt Chantal Kerr (Ray Kerr), special cousin Nick Brown (Ashley Nutt) and his God parents Colleen and Kevin Cook.
Alex was an honours graduate of Northern High School in Sarnia Ontario and studied at Western University and Toronto Metropolitan University, but his true passion was being a father to Mila, who he loved with all his heart.
Watching Alex parent Mila was pure joy and he cherished every moment he spent with her.
Alex was kind, sensitive, compassionate and would do anything to help someone out. His smile was genuine and warm, and he loved his family deeply.
Alex’s creative talents were showcased through his creation of music, including original songs performed by him, artwork and poetry. Alex also loved acting and took lessons while residing in Las Vegas, as he was passionate about films and filmmaking. As a child and youth, Alex was an avid guitar player.
Alex spent his childhood and youth enjoying many active family outings to the cottage in Oxtongue Lake, skiing at Blue Mountain and camping throughout Ontario.
Alex loved the water and was in a canoe from the time he could sit on his own.
Many recent memories were made with Alex in Las Vegas; hiking the trails in Red Rock Canyon, seeking out the best Mexican food or doughnuts and playing with Mila in the pool or playground. Alex was strong, active, loved the outdoors and found peace in nature and the shoreline.
Alex had a second family in Las Vegas; the people in the rooms of recovery at AA who loved and supported him. Our family will be forever grateful for the support and love Alex received from his friends in AA.
Alex lived with the pain of addiction for years and fought a tireless and courageous battle against the disease. He continued to get back up to fight another day, because he loved, and he knew he was loved beyond measure by all who knew him.
We will fill our broken hearts with the wonderful memories we have of Alex. It will be through those stores and memories that Mila will grow up knowing what a wonderful, kind and loving man her father was.
A Celebration of Alex’s Life will be announced in the coming days. Please bring memories and stories to share.
As well, if you have special memories of Alex to share with Mila, a box will be available for letters and cards, which will be meaningful to her as she grows.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you do a random act of kindness for someone, as Alex would be honoured that we are helping others, as he would have done.
Sympathy may also be expressed through a donation to The Inn of the Good Shepherd or your local Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facility. Arrangements entrusted to Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia.

Ann Maria ‘Marie’ McKay
Marie passed away peacefully at her home in Meaford on Wednesday, July 3, 2024 surrounded by her loving family at the age of 95.
Born on June 28th, 1929 in Tyne Dock, South Shields, North Eastern England. Marie grew up during the Great Depression and WW2. Her parents separated when she was 3, which resulted in her being sent to grandparents to be raised. The family was poor, so school ended for her at 13, a year before the legal age of 14; rules got bent during the war. Her first job was at a corner grocery store. When she was 15, she decided to move to the city of London and became a domestic; a family tradition. After several placements, along with her friend Lorraine she had met on the way, they decided to move up in the world and become waitresses; an improvement in status and pay.
In the late 1940’s the world was on the move, young people going to far away places to start new lives, so Marie and Lorraine joined them and emigrated to Canada in 1950. After several waitressing jobs, the hospital environment was where Marie found her niche; she worked her way up from kitchen maid to Registered Nurse.
She loved living in Meaford, and leaves with few regrets and much to celebrate.
She had a truly wonderful marriage with a one-of-a-kind man; Gordon McKay who predeceased her in 1999. She will be missed by her son Stephen McKay (Parvine Sadeghi) and her daughter Catharine McKay (Leo McClymont). She was the proud grandmother of Shireen McKay, who she absolutely adored. Marie treasured her friendships, and had a career that was incredibly rewarding.
A funeral service celebrating Marie’s life will be conducted at the Meaford United Church on Saturday, July 6, 2024 at 11 o’clock. A reception will follow in the galleries at the Meaford Hall, where family and friends can gather to share refreshments and memories of Marie.
As your expression of sympathy, donations to Meaford Friends of the Library would be appreciated and may be made through the Ferguson Funeral Home, 48 Boucher St. E., Meaford, ON N4L 1B9 to whom arrangements have been entrusted.
