E.J. Cloutier, 1987 - 2006

Edgar Joseph Cloutier, also known as ‘Papoose’, was born in Edmonton on July 21, 1987 and passed away Jan. 24, 2006.

For a short time God loaned us an angel who was a happy, friendly, carefree, loving young man who could always be seen grinning from ear to ear or with a big smile on his face. His infectious laugh could always get those around him wondering what was on his mind and make you laugh no matter what was going on.

One of his most memorable attributes was sitting quietly as if he was in a daze, biting his nails which he had very little of. His carefree attitude toward life allowed him to always be willing to try different things.

Like most teenagers, Ed enjoyed listening to music such as Easy E, Tupac, Eminem and some classics like Tom Petty and ‘70s retro. Another favorite pasttime for Ed was chillin’ with the bros and spending time with his girlfriend, Jennifer Nichols, whom he had planned on moving to Edmonton with after graduation.

Ed’s main goal in life was to graduate from E.W. Pratt where he was attending school. He was well on his way to his goal as he was to graduate this year with his cousin, D.J. (Dale Cloutier Jr.) and girlfriend, Jennifer Nichols.

Ed’s aunts and uncles remember him always getting his way by talking to them in a soft, baby voice. His first words would be ‘Auntie’ or ‘Uncle’ before he’d start a conversation. In other words, he knew how to get his way even with his stubborn aunties.

Ed had many friends in Edmonton, Boyle, Grouard, High Prairie and surrounding area.

One of the best aspects of Ed’s character was that he was never too proud to show affection. He always kissed his mother and told her he loved her before they parted. So, in memory of him; grandparents, parents and family relatives and friends, never forget to tell your loved ones how much you love them as we are all here on borrowed time.

The funeral mass was held at St. Bernard’s Roman Catholic Church in Grouard on Jan. 30, 2006.
