Remembering a Pillar of the Canadian Electrical Industry: Pierre Desilets

September 27, 2023

Pierre Desilets Memoriam from Leviton:

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pierre Desilets, a committed figure in the electrical industry, who had dedicated a lifetime to advancing safety standards, codes, and regulations.

Pierre had been battling cancer with immense resilience for an extended period. His unwavering commitment to his work and his enduring passion for improving the electrical industry were remarkable and inspiring to all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Throughout his distinguished career, Pierre played an instrumental role in shaping the electrical landscape. His expertise and leadership were pivotal in ensuring the highest safety standards and compliance with regulations within the industry. His tireless efforts and dedication made him a trusted resource for peers, professionals, and organizations alike.

Beyond his professional accomplishments at Leviton Canada, Pierre was a pillar of support and mentorship for countless individuals, fostering the growth and development of the next generation of electrical professionals. He will be remembered not only for his expertise but also for his kindness, compassion, and willingness to lend a helping hand.

Pierre’s legacy extends far beyond his professional achievements. Pierre is survived by his loving wife and their young children. His dedication to his family mirrored his commitment to the industry, and he leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and resilience that will continue to guide and inspire those he held dear.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Pierre’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. We are also committed to providing support to our employees during this challenging period, and we will continue to honor the memory of Pierre in our work and endeavors.
