JEAN BAPTISTE SEVIGNY, age 91, of Lethbridge passed away peacefully and surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, November 10, 2019.

Our deepest sympathies, love and prayers Auntie Bev and Lil
To my friend Doug
and the Sevigny family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss .
I have some fond memories growing up in Grand Center getting the gears from Mr. Sevigny for one thing or another, but it was always with a joking smile / smirk on his face when he did it. If it wasn’t “get a haircut” it was “when are you going to put some mufflers on that truck”.
Jean was a good man.
I’m glad to have known him.
My thoughts are with you all.
