René Émile Joseph Perreault passed away tragically doing what he loved to do on, Wednesday July 13, 2016 at the age of 40 years.  René was born in Prince Albert on August 15, 1975, first born child of Robin and Joanne (née Blain).  He is survived by his wife Jaime (née Boutin), his three daughters, Brooklyn, Makayla, Mallory, his son Jake and his parents.  He will also be sadly missed by his brother, Joël (Kim Rumak) and sisters, Michelle (Craig King), Lynne (Ryan Topping) and Annette (Dustin Hawryluk), his nieces and nephews, his grandmother Marie Blain, the Boutin family, all of his extended family, his many friends and everyone who had the honour and pleasure of knowing him. René was predeceased by his grand parents, Georges Blain and Emile and Bibiane Perreault and his cousin Calixte Perreault. He was a devoted and loving father to his children and husband to his wife Jaime. René and Jaime were high school sweethearts who had reunited after a number of years and were building a future together.  As a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, aircraft mechanical engineer, pilot and farmer, René was a very happy man who was living his dream. René loved spending time at the lake in the summer, snowmobiling in the winter, having fun and celebrating special events with family and friends.  His passion and love for airplanes began at a very young age.   Not only did he love flying in the sky, but in the winter months he loved to fly over the snow on his Arctic Cat. He was a kind and gentle man who was loved and respected by all who knew him.  He will be remembered for his integrity, honesty, patience, easygoing manner, his ability to bring out the best in people, his sense of humour and for his willingness to lend a helping hand to all who needed it.
