Obituary of Tracey Leon Bureau

Tracey Leon Bureau, was born February 13, 1963 in Regina, Saskatchewan, and passed away April 17, 2018.  Tracey is predeceased by his parents Doreen and Julien (Duffy); and brother Franck.  Tracey leaves to mourn his passing, his son Dustin de Bakker (Chelsey); his sisters Leslie Moldenhauer and Bonita Cairns (Gerry); nephews and nieces Michael, Rick, Stephanie, Randi and Kandyce; and several good friends.  Tracey worked for several years in the autobody business as a body man/painter and was quite the handy man when it came to vehicles.  His main interests were the restoration of older vehicles, music and horticulture.  He restored many a vehicle during his lifetime and quite enjoyed get togethers with friends to listen to good music and jam a bit.  Tracey had a fondness for the serenity of living in the country and spent several years living in British Columbia and Alberta prior to settling in Sedley, Saskatchewan.  He certainly was not city folk.  Tracey was definitely his own person and took no shit from anybody but he also had a warm heart for those he was close to and a very good sense of humor.  He loved his dogs including Bear, Floyd, and more recently Archie, and they provided him a great deal of comfort.  Tracey sustained some life altering injuries some years ago which created many obstacles that he worked hard to overcome and it just became too much for him to manage.  Tracey is now in a much better place.  Rest in Peace little brother.  The family would like to extend a special thank you to those friends that provided comfort and support to Tracey over the last several months.  Also, a big thank you to Duane for becoming Archie’s adoptive father.  There will be a casual get together with an informal program at Speers Family Centre, 2333 Cornwall Street, Regina, SK, on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. for Tracey’s family and friends to celebrate Tracey’s life, listen to his music and reminisce.  A light lunch will be provided.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Regina Humane Society, Box 3143 Stn. Main, Regina, SK, S4P 3G7 or a charity of your choice.
