With heavy hearts the family of Stanley Harry Guimont announce his passing on December 26, 2017, in Swan River, Manitoba at the age of 77.

Stanley Guimont was born on June 21, 1940 to Sophie Renton (Jarroch). Stanley was raised in Edmonton, Alberta by his mother during his younger years. Stanley moved with his mother and Harve Guimont to Hay River, Northwest Territories until he was old enough to go on his own. His first job was in an auto body shop in Edmonton.

His mother married Harve Guimont, and Stan was adopted by Mr. Guimont when he was eighteen years old. At this time Stanley entered into the Army and joined the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infinity. He was in the Army for a few years then left to pursue new adventures.

Stanley went to work in Grand Rapids with his sister, Adeline Miron and brother in law, Bernie Miron. There he met his first wife, Katie Cook, and became a hunter, trapper, and fisherman. He has four children, Michelle Guimont, Stanley Guimont Jr., Kimberley Guimont, and Darren Guimont. His youngest daughter passed away when she was six years old.

Stanley was employed with Manitoba Hydro and worked all over Manitoba until he retired in 2007 at the age of sixty-seven. Stanley remarried in August 1996 to Wanda Guimont (Branconnier) and resided on an acreage in Kenville, Manitoba.
