It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Leo Amos Caribou, born on April 19th 2001. Leo was tragically taken from us on May 14th 2024 at the young age of 23.

Leo was predeceased by both sets of his grandparents: Jeremie & Caroline Caribou and Raymond Parent & Anette Flatfoot.

Leo was an exceptional father, son, partner, and friend who had a passion for the outdoors, including hunting, fishing, and spending time around the bonfire. Leo loved spending time with his children more than anything in the world and he was a very proud father. Leo was a skilled carpenter, roofer, and labourer, and he always put in his best effort into his work. Leo was very brave and outgoing and he had the kindest heart. Leo was an amazing person who will forever be missed and will never leave our hearts.
