Roddy "Rod" Robert Lafond

   It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Roddy “Rod” Lafond of Coleman, AB on June 4, 2024.  He was 56 years of age.

   Rod was born in Nokomis, SK on March 20, 1968 to parents, Dorothy and Tony Lafond.  After living in Coleman, AB briefly as a small child, he made it his home again in 2017 when he returned with his beloved wife, Andrea.

   Rod spent countless happy hours quadding the mountains and riding his Harley on the open road.  He also enjoyed a wide variety of music and was very interested in photography.  More than anything, though, he loved spending time with Andrea and their dogs.  Rod was an incredibly loyal person who would do anything for his family and friends.  He was always the first to arrive to lend a hand and he would give you the shirt off of his back if necessary.  Rod will forever be remembered as a loving, quiet, hardworking man who could make anyone laugh and who was always there when you needed him.  He will be deeply missed.

   Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life is his wife, Andrea Lafond; his daughter, Brystal Lafond (Jordan Giroux); his grandson, Harry Giroux; his parents-in-law, Anna and Ronald Walsh; his brother-in-law, Jason Walsh; and his niece, Ava Walsh.

   He was predeceased by his parents, Dorothy and Tony Lafond.

   With respect for Rod’s wishes, no funeral service will be held.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Crowsnest Pass SPCA (PO Box 725 Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0).  Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
