Two Quebecers who joined the war in Ukraine to make a difference in the world and in their own lives died in February and March.
Alain Derasp was a 49-year-old father of four from Chicoutimi who served 26 years in the Canadian military as a member of the Royal 22nd Regiment, with tours in Afghanistan and Bosnia-Herzegovina. He volunteered for two years in Ukraine, teaching first-aid training to soldiers. He died of a heart attack in late February after contracting pneumonia.
