Frans Knutson
Sherbrooke, 1 décembre 2023
1975 – 2023
At the Maison Aube Lumière in Sherbrooke, on December 1, 2023, after a four-year illness, and treatment for cancer. He faced the prognosis bravely and was not one to allow the illness or disability to defi ne who he was.
Frans grew up in Waterville and went to Alexander Galt High School. In his twenties, he moved to Montreal, and settled in NDG where he found kindred spirits and put down roots. He worked at Lockheed-Martin for several years, in finance and business operations.
Frans leaves to mourn his parents Jim and Shirley, siblings Sonja, Olaf, Tanja, Lillian, and their families, aunts and uncles, great-aunt Isabel, many cousins, and very close friends.
Funeral service at Elkas Funeral Home, 4230 Bertrand-Fabi, Sherbrooke, on Sunday, December 17. Visitation 11 a.m. Service at 1 p.m. You can view the ceremony live or on replay at https://funeraweb.tv/en/diffusions/83242. Next summer there will be a celebration of his life, in NDG. Interment at Greenwood Cemetery, Waterville at a date to be determined.
Special thanks to the staff of Maison Aube Lumière, who treated him with such kindness and dignity.
