In Celebration of

Benoît C. Lauzé

April 1, 1964 -  April 28, 2020

Benoît Lauzé nous a quitté le 28 avril 2020 dernier à l’âge de 56 ans. Il est né à Montréal de Denise et Jacques Lauzé. Il a obtenu un B.Sc. en 1987 de l’Université de Montréal et une maîtrise de la Schulich School of Business de l’Université York en 1991 (MBA). Benoît et Lynda Hudon se sont mariés en 1987.

Benoît a passé la majorité de sa carrière professionnelle chez CIBC Wood Gundy où il a débuté à Toronto en 1991. Avec sa famille, il revient à Montréal en 1995 alors qu’il se joint au département de Financement des Sociétés de la CIBC où il occupera différents postes de direction au fil des années. En 2013, il retourne à Toronto pour diriger le département “Equity Capital Markets” de la banque CIBC.

Tout au long de sa vie personnelle et de sa carrière professionnelle, Benoît a démontré une attitude positive, une passion, un dévouement, un respect envers les autres et un sentiment d’accomplissement. Athlétique, il s’est aussi démarqué par son esprit d’équipe motivateur ainsi que par son sens de l’humour communicatif digne de celui de son père.
Benoît laisse dans le deuil son épouse Lynda, ses fils Maxime (Alysha) et Simon, sa mère Denise et sa sœur Claire (Yves). Benoît, Lynda, Maxime et Simon remercient sincèrement les membres de la famille, les amis et les collègues de travail qui ont été présents dans la vie de Benoît et qui ont contribué aux moments quotidiens de bonheur qui étaient tellement importants pour lui.

Pour commémorer Benoît, la famille accueillera parents, collègues et ami.e.s au Complexe funéraire Mont-Royal, 1297 chemin de la Forêt, Outremont, QC H2V2P9, en date du 12 septembre 2022 de 17hrs à 19hrs.

Un immense merci au Dr Ian McGilvray, chirurgien général, et au Dr Eric Chen, oncologue, de même qu’à leurs équipes respectives à l’Hôpital Général de Toronto et au Centre de Cancérologie Princess Margaret pour leur dévouement envers Benoît.

Plutôt que des fleurs, des dons à la Fondation de l’hôpital Général de Toronto (tgwhf.ca/tribute), à la Fondation du Cancer Princess Margaret (thepmcf.ca/home), à la Société canadienne du cancer (cancer.ca/fr/donate) ou au fond d'étude Benoît Lauzé seraient appréciés de la famille.

Benoit Lauzé passed away in Toronto on April 28, 2020 at the age of 56. He was born in Montreal to Denise and Jacques Lauzé. He graduated in 1987 from the University of Montreal (B. Sc.) and obtained a Master's degree from the Schulich School of Business of York University in 1991 (MBA). Benoit and Lynda Hudon were married in 1987.

Benoit spent much of his professional career at CIBC Wood Gundy, where he started in 1991 in Toronto. With his family he moved back to Montreal in 1995 where he worked in the Investment Banking Department of CIBC, gradually assuming different leadership roles. In 2013, he returned to Toronto as Head of CIBC's Equity Capital Markets desk.

Throughout his personal life and professional career, Benoit was known for his positive attitude, passion, dedication, respect and sense of achievement. He was athletic and a supportive team player in all aspects of his life with a great sense of humor. Benoit is survived by his wife Lynda, his sons Maxime (Alysha) and Simon, his mother Denise and his sister Claire (Yves). Lynda, Maxime and Simon warmly thank family members, friends and working colleagues on Benoit's behalf for having been present in his life and contributing to his "joie de vivre", which he cherished so much.

To commemorate Benoît, the family will receive parents, colleagues and friends at the Mount Royal funeral complex, 1297 chemin de la Forêt, Outremont, QC H2V2P9, on September 12, 2022 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Special thanks to Dr Ian McGilvray, general surgeon, and Dr Eric Chen, oncologist, and their teams at Toronto General Hospital and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre for their dedication to Benoit's care.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation (tgwhf.ca/tribute), the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (thepmcf.ca/home), the Canadian Cancer Society (cancer.ca/en/donate) or to The Benoît Lauzé Scholarship of Excellence would be appreciated by the family.
