Louis Joseph Faucher was born on June 14, 1939, in St. Paul, Alberta, to a family of ten with a French background. Dad’s mother and father, Irene and Arthur Faucher, farmed two quarter sections a half-mile north of St. Paul. Dad was always working on the farm with his dad when he was a boy. Dad was fondly known to his family and friends as Pee Wee in his younger years. He attended school in St. Paul. In 1960 he met Darlene, his future wife, in Red Deer, Alberta. They were married on June 17, 1961.

In October of 1961, they moved to High Prairie, to build the hospital there. This is where Dad learned to be a bricklayer. From there they moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta, arriving there in September of 1962. They resided there until January of 1966. They then moved north to Dawson Creek, British Columbia on January 2, 1966 where they made their final home. He became a master bricklayer, building some of the most beautiful fireplaces out of brick and stone. Dad also worked on most of the major buildings in Dawson Creek. He was very artistic, a perfectionist, and was very proud of his work. Everyone who wanted a beautiful fireplace always requested that he build it. Dad was a very hard worker.

Louis and Darlene were blessed with three beautiful children; Diana in 1961, Terry in 1962, and Kathy in 1964. In 1973, they bought an acreage on Stanley Drive where he resided until his death on January 4, 2011.

His children married and blessed him again with five beautiful grandchildren; Craig and Corey, Danielle, Travis and Alexis. Dad loved his grandchildren very much and always had time for them.  
Dad loved playing cards. He loved the outdoors. He always liked going for drives down country roads. He loved camping, fishing, and drinking a beer with friends. Dad loved taking the grandkids for treats in his old truck. He built them a sandbox and swing. He enjoyed playing with them. Dad loved country music, especially Charlie Pride. He enjoyed mowing the grass, planting trees, and puttering around. Dad could fix anything.

Dad was predeceased by his parents and younger sister Suzanne. He is survived by his wife Darlene and children Diana (Brian Hogg), Terry Faucher, Kathy (Brent Burton), and grandchildren Craig and Corey Hogg, Danielle Burton (Scott Boyer), Travis and Alexis Burton as well as brothers Lawrence, Leo and Armand and sisters Lorraine, Rosemarie, and Aline.

Dad will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends.
