Paul O’Coin

It is with great sadness and our hearts full of love that we lay to rest our Dad, Paul, on September 14th, 2025 at the age of 67.

The most loving, supportive, and fun Father, Husband, Uncle, Grandfather, Brother and Son. He had a passion for the work he did in trucking and long haul trucking. He was a proud member and volunteer at Emmanuel Community Church. He was fully obsessed with Rush and passed the obsession on to all his children. He will be remembered by his “pull my finger” jokes and his child-like energy.

Paul is lovingly remembered by his wife of 12 years Mary O’Coin (Pasher), his 3 children Jennifer DeJong (Michael), Kevin O’Coin (Candace), and Vanessa Poitras; step son Barren Pasher; his 7 grand babies Clara, Seth, Ryder, Chloe, Scarlett, Atlas and Kaileb; his sisters Susan Fry (Al) and Cathy O’Coin and brother Peter (Sylvia); many nieces and nephews; and his two yappy pups, Butch and Barney.

He was predeceased by his parents Alfred and Beth O’Coin and his brothers Barry O’Coin and John O’Coin.

We want to thank every nurse and doctor that helped our Dad at the Cross Cancer institute, Grey Nuns Hospital and Rivercrest Care Centre. From the bottom of our hearts we are truly thankful for the kind souls who laughed and cried with us and took the best care of our Dad.

In lieu of flowers as a gesture of sympathy donations can be made to Rivercrest Care Centre Hospice in Fort Saskatchewan.
