Dennis M. Gobey Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband and father retired Platoon Chief Dennis Gobey on October 20th 2024, at the age of 73. Dennis passed peacefully at the Ottawa Civic Hospital after an unexpected illness and discovery of pancreatic cancer. Dennis leaves behind his wife of 45 years Janet, his three children Scott (Juanita), Matt (Michele), and Shannon (Steve), his grandson William, and his brother David (Cynthia).
Dennis served the Ottawa fire services with courage and honor for 41 years, and faithfully continued to support and represent the service in his retirement. Dennis was an avid motorcyclist, member of the Red Knights, and Ottawa HOG chapter.
Dennis was a devoted husband, fiercely proud father, and a friend everyone could count on. He was always there to lend a helping hand, and share his knowledge and experience with those willing to learn. A celebration of life will be held in his honor on November 14th 2024 from 4pm – 8pm at The Prescott Hotel in the Antonio Room. All are welcome to come have a drink, share stories, and memories of Dennis. In lieu of flower donations in Dennis’ memory can be made to the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
