Dennis George Heasman Obituary
We sure are going to miss this guy. On September 16, 2026 Dennis Heasman passed away in hospice with his daughters at his side after living with COPD for many years.
Dennis was born to Ed and Isabel Heasman in 1946, he and his younger sister Maria were raised on their family farm on Airport Road. In 1970 he married Linda West, they built their home across the road where they raised two daughters, Jenni and Kerri. He enjoyed a life filled with many good times and adventures that started with his Heasman cousins, aunts, uncles and friends at River Valley School House. The good times continued with the same family and friends, weekend get togethers, summers at Sand Lake, hunting with the Grindstone Club, snowmobiling, trying to grow the biggest pumpkin ever in Sidney/Rawdon, golf on Friday nights,celebrating life milestones with those he loved and recently cards on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
His first "real job" was surveying in northern Ontario. Many good times and shenanigans with work buddies and his first car, a beautiful blue 1966 Mustang! He then worked for the Hastings County roads department before moving on to sell Massey Ferguson and Polaris with his friends at Hadley Equipment. He finished his work life selling parts and tractors at McKeown Motors in Springbrook. If you ever bought a toy or piece of equipment from Dennis; he remembered. He never forgot a face, name or what you bought. He could drive by your house or farm and tell a story.
In April 2023 Dennis lost his wife Linda to cancer, her absence is huge. Jenni and Kerri stepped up visits and support as he continued to live in his lifelong home, and often rode sh***un for tours in the Jeep. Many thanks to his neighbours, Brian & Anna, Cliff & Lynn, Gerry & Darlene, Shawn & Kim, and his right hand man, Nathan! Thanks to Brittany for keeping the house in shape and making the best sandwiches. It was a team effort and Dennis recognized your kindness and appreciated each of you.
We miss our good morning check in messages, video calls on Alexa and his silver Jeep touring around Stirling and the Oak Hills.
Jenni and Kerri want to thank their Pollard, West and Sager family for their love and support. Dennis lost his sister Maria Pollard in 2018, she and Linda are greatly missed, we think of them every day. Kael and Kristine swooped in when we needed them most. Dennis' immediate family includes Jenni and Clayton Beaver, grandchildren Liam and Sophie Beaver, Kerri and Darcy Raybould and grandson Jameson Raybould. We love you, we miss you.
