Vincent Dumas passed away peacefully, Saturday, March 12, 2011, at St. Anthony’s Hospital, The Pas, Manitoba, with his mother and his family by his side, after his fight with cancer. He was 59 years old. He was diagnosed early January 2011. Vincent was born Saturday, January 5, 1952, in Pukatawagan, Manitoba and lived there during his younger years. In his later years he spent the majority of his time in Burntwood Lake, Manitoba. During his lifetime, Vincent loved the outdoors and lived life to the fullest as a hunter, trapper, and fisherman. Burntwood was his home away from home. He was an exceptional guide, and took many clients out on adventurous and successful hunting experiences. He was interviewed and videoed for his story by CBC and his story was written and published in a hunting magazine. His passion was being with his family. He especially had a strong bond with his brothers Joe and Sidney and his cousin John. When they were together, they loved to laugh at their stories and hunting trips. He spent numerous hours with his grandchildren and his family members.
