With deep sadness, we share the news of the passing of Lenée Dedeaux, who was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. Lenée was a devoted mother and wife to her family of five, a creative talent, a lifelong student, and a business owner. Above all, she was the foundation of the Dedeaux family. Her love, strength, and organizational talent enabled her family members to pursue their own passions and adventures. She was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Many of us have also been touched by Lenée’s husband, Alvin. His extraordinary talent as a fishing guide is matched by his lighthearted laugh and the twinkle in his eye. You may remember him as the frontman of Bad Mutha Goose, or more recently, through his generous sharing of fishing knowledge on social media. Together, Alvin and Lenée owned and operated All Water Guides. As the operations manager, Lenée was the driving force that allowed Alvin to excel as a world-class guide. Now, Alvin and his family need our support as they navigate the realities of Lenée’s passing.
On June 25th, Leo Artalejo organized a Go Fund Me on behalf of Alvin Dedeaux to support their family and the operation of All Water Guides. Your contributions will provide financial stability to Mila, Sadie, Ruby, and Alvin during this heartbreaking period as they cover medical expenses and memorial costs. Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease the financial strain on the family, allowing them to focus on healing and supporting one another through this profound loss. The celebration of life for Lenée Dedeaux will be held this Saturday June 29th, details can be found HERE.
