Obituary

Chaput, Kenneth Lorrain Joseph (Ken)

March 16 1936 – May 29 2026

Announcing with deep sadness and love that Ken died peacefully on May 29, 2026 at the age of 90 at Pinecrest Manor long-term care home in Lucknow, Ontario.
He was born and raised on L'isle-aux-Allumettes, Quebec. Ken moved to Kitchener, Ontario in 1966 where he raised his family of 5 children. He relocated to Lucknow, Ontario where he enjoyed his retirement years.

He will be deeply missed by his loving wife Lois (nee Bertrand) of 69 years  and 11 months, his 5 children Larry (Persida), Denise (Clay), Ed, Trina (Tim), Tracy (Bert), his 10 grandchildren Nick (Shahed), James, Ryan, Josh (Andria), Kyle, Randi (Donald), Nikki (Mitch), Taylor (Patrick), Tamara, Brett and his 4 great-grandchildren Penny, Benny, Mason, Georgia and one more on the way.
Dear brother of Robert, Theresa, Jeanne (Jean), Jacques (Jack) and Diane. He is pre-deceased by his parents Alfred and Cora Chaput and his siblings Judy, Nicole, Annette, Leonard, Denis, and Bernard
Ken will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews and their families.


Ken will be remembered for his deep love and pride for his family and his smile. He was outgoing and friendly making many friends wherever he went. He was especially proud of his wife Lois' poetry.
Ken had a love of lawn bowling (winning the 1985 District 7 pairs championship along with his partner Brian Broome and the 1988 District 7 fours with his son Larry, Bill McGregor and Harry Bullock), 5 pin bowling (including an appearance on bowling for dollars), hunting, square dancing, gardening, fishing (at his brother and sister-in-law's cottage on Birch Island) and was an unwavering fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was a union president fighting for the rights of others. Ken loved to play bingo and purchase lottery tickets waiting for the big jackpot.

The family extends thanks to the staff at Pinecrest Manor for their compassion and care.
We take great comfort in our memories and knowing Ken is at peace.
A public service will be held on June 4, 2026 at 2 pm at Mackenzie & Mcreath Funeral home 595 Campbell St. Lucknow, Ontario with interment to follow at Greenhill Cemetery.

Dear Aunt Lois, Larry, Denise, Ed, Trina, Tracy and all family members, we are truly saddened to hear of Uncle Kenny's passing. My fondest memories of Uncle Kenny was his ability to tell stories and become so animated when excited. The 'foot stomp' became popular when he watched Leafs games. Your kind spirit, generosity, and humor will be missed by so many. Big hugs 🫂 to all, as I know the feeling all to well when we lose the patriarch of the family. Keep him near and dear in your thoughts. Always remember that you each carry a special piece of Dad with you, as his manurisms and teachings have footprints 👣 that are everlasting. Rest easy, and may the Angels 😇 carry you 🙏🏻 to your final resting place on this earth 🌎.

In loving memory of my dear friend and longtime bowling partner, Kenny Chaput. For so many years, we shared the greens at Rockway Lawn Bowling Club — club tournaments, district playdowns, provincial championships, and countless evenings where the game mattered far less than the company. Kenny was a bowler like no other. His speedy, razor‑accurate runners were legendary, but even more unforgettable was the sound of him sprinting after his bowl shouting, “Hurray, Hurray, Hurray!” You always knew when Kenny was in a tournament — the energy shifted, the laughter grew louder, and the game felt more alive. Off the green, he was just as genuine. I can still picture him cruising the streets in that old ’40s car, smiling like he owned the road. Kenny was a true friend in every sense, steady, loyal, and full of life. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit — his joy, his competitiveness, his unmistakable presence — will live on in my memory forever. Friends forever, Brian and Yvonne Broome
