Conrad also leaves behind his four legged baby Bandit who he loved with all of his heart. Conrad was predeceased by his father Jack Parenteau in January 1999.
Conrad enjoyed watching all sports, but he would be found in front of any TV always watching his favorite hockey team the Vancouver Canucks. He cheered them on during each and every game. He was an avid dart player and has been for many years. Conrad would be found down at the point with a fishing rod in his hand catching himself some supper for the night. He looked forward to the big family gatherings where there was tons of food and lots of laughter and smiles that filled the house. He was always counted on for bringing the paper plates and cutlery to any dinner.

A Traditional Service will take place on Monday, June 17, 2019 at 11 a.m. at the Wabigoon Metis Centre with Elder Robert Kelly officiating.
