It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of Poppins on January 31, 2024. He was predeceased by his mother Wendy Gopher; kokum and moshom John Gopher and Ruby Desjarlais Gopher; great grandmother Louise Desjarlais; great grandfather George Desjarlais; aunties Rosemary, Rhonda, Lisa; uncles Lindsey and granddaughter Olive Fourstar.

Poppins leaves to mourn, his wife Wanda Fourstar; children Tristin (Jasmine), Octavius, Aiden, Denzel, Lindsey (Zayda), Michael (Chelsea), twin daughters Crystal (Evan) and Mary-Jane (Keegan), Elena and Wendy; grandchildren Aubrey and Kregan; and numerous other family and friends.

Poppins was raised by his great grandparents Louise and George Desjarlais. He was a hard worker and very kind-hearted. He loved working with horses and trained thoroughbred horses. Poppins was a farm labourer and a jack of all trades. He was self-taught and was motivated to figure things out. He was always ready to help anyone. His father was Mexican and Poppins was known as our favourite Mexican. Poppins will be sadly missed by the community, family and friends.

Wake will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, February 5, 2024 at Piapot Band Hall, Piapot First Nation, SK. Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 6, 2024 from the same location. Interment will follow on Piapot First Nation.
