With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Bernard Lawrence Beneteau on July 31, 2025 at Carleton Lodge, Ottawa.

He leaves behind his beloved wife Donna, cherished father to Steven (Diane) and Kevin (Lisa), proud grandfather to Ashley, Brandon, Kaitlyn, and Madelynn, and great-grandfather to Parker — Bernard was the heart of his family, whose love, strength, and gentle spirit touched everyone who knew him.

He leaves behind a life well-lived and a family forever grateful for his love.

Rest now, Papa. We love you. Always
