It has been a year ago today, and I still think of Chris every day. He had a substantial positive impact on me personally and professionally, and on the lives of countless others. His memory will always be a blessing.

I was sharing stories of my memories on Christmas, and my old Aborginal CourtWorker program boss was one one that stood out. Chris was a wonderful boss, and shared his beautiful family with us - singing & performing. I wanted to show my daughter's who he was and see if any of their children popped up. Now I was saddened to see that he had passed over : my condolences to the family. I've seen him come out into our community, when we lost our elder George and he attended the service. Condolences, on your huge loss. Thank you Chris for being genuine and caring.

This is truly heartbreaking news. My deepest sympathies to your wife, kids, and grandchildren. You were my mom's favorite cousin, and she looked up to you in so many ways. I only wish I had reached out sooner to learn more about our family history and stories.
You were a true trailblazer in the Métis and Indigenous community—breaking cycles, overcoming barriers, and creating a legacy of truth. Your love for your church, family, and culture shone so brightly, leaving an impact that will be felt for generations.
Thank you for the wisdom and guidance you shared, especially in helping my mom with homeschooling and supporting learning disabilities like dyslexia. In your honor, I hope to continue learning about our family history and work towards getting my Métis card to recognize the genealogy you worked so hard to preserve.
Your legacy lives on, and you will always be remembered with love and gratitude.

Our condolences go out to the Lafontaine family. Chris had a huge impact on the Aboriginal Court Worker program and his legacy continues to influence the program to advocate for Indigenous people before criminal and family courts. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Chris lived a life of purpose and impact. Having worked closely with him for over 20 years on many projects, my respect and admiration for this man cannot be overstated. He was someone with a unique talent of bringing people together for a common purpose. He was a true visionary who contributed greatly to important work to improve the lives of others. His legacy will live on through his incredible family and all of us who were blessed to have known and loved him. He was a truly remarkable human being who gave so much in the time he was here. Rest well, dear friend. 💜

Your beautiful and precious family is in our thoughts and prayers, much love to you all at this time! We will miss Brother Lafontaine as a sealer in the Temple as we really appreciated his calm and peaceful manner and felt his strong testimony and love for the Savior, whenever we were a part of one of his sealing sessions. Our sincere condolences.

Chris was a wonderful individual who was caring, full of life and always promoting education. I remember him when I was attending SUNTEP at the Brent building on 11th Avenue and then at GDI when it relocated to Broadway Avenue. I also had the pleasure of teaching their daughter, Kalea, at Dr. Hanna school. He has left his mark and kindness behind for us to follow. I send my sincere condolences and prayers to the entire Lafontaine family. You will be greatly missed Chris.
