LINDSAY
ROY O'NEILL
February 26, 1950 - June 9, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce
the peaceful passing of Lindsay Roy
O’Neill on June 9, 2025, at the age of 75.
Lindsay was born and raised in Winnipeg,
Manitoba. He and his beloved wife,
Jeannette, later raised their family in
St. Pierre-Jolys, where they built a life
full of love and laughter.
Lindsay is survived by his devoted wife,
Jeannette (née Gay); his son, Chris; and
his daughter, Melanie (Richard); as well
as his cherished grandchildren, Ford
Patrick and Vienna Rose. He is also
survived by his sister, Ruby Peters, and
brothers, Dennis (Susan) and Paul
(Michelle) O’Neill. Lindsay will also be
dearly missed by his in-laws: Marcien
(Grace), Evelyne, Lorraine, Francine,
Adrien, and Mario, along with many nieces
and nephews who adored him.
He was predeceased by his parents, Patrick
and Rosalie O’Neill; his brother,
Clifford; and his in-laws René and Elaine
Gay, Bernard Gay, Gerald Gay, Richard
Gosselin, and Tracy (née Catellier) Gay.
A lifelong lover of music, Lindsay played
bass guitar in multiple bands throughout
his life. His passion for music was
matched only by his love for sports.
Whether playing and coaching baseball,
watching hockey, biking through town, or
taking long walks, Lindsay believed in
staying active and enjoying life to the
fullest. He also had a special love for
cats, always finding joy and companionship
in their presence.
He will be remembered for his kind heart,
infectious humour, and unwavering devotion
to his family. A true family man, Lindsay
always put his loved ones first while
still pursuing the passions that brought
him joy.
As per his wishes, no formal service will
be held. A celebration of life will be
planned at a later date, where family and
friends can gather to honour his legacy
and share memories of a life well lived.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly
remembered.
