Aaron Lee Dibben

With broken hearts, the family of Aaron Lee Dibben of Ottawa, Ontario, formerly of Bonnyville, Alberta, regretfully announce his unexpected passing on Wednesday, November 29, 2023 at the age of 46 years.

The world has lost a kind soul; heaven has gained a great one. He struggled with muscular dystrophy for most of his life, but it was never a reason not to do something. Where others would see obstacles, he looked for a different solution to solve the problem. Aaron was born inquisitive and found a passion for reading and computers; he enjoyed being with his family and friends and was always available to advise or be a sounding board for anyone wanting to talk. He enjoyed his independence, traveling, and experiencing life.

He worked for NAV CANADA since 2001 and had risen to the position of Manager of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Technical Data Centre (TDC); he immensely enjoyed working with all his colleagues. Aaron achieved the Chairman's Award for Employee Excellence with NAV CANADA in 2017.

Leaving to mourn with cherished memories is Aaron's mother: Edna Masse;  brother: Tim (Karen) Dibben; sister: Melonie Dibben; step-sister: Sylvia (John) Severin; step-brother: Raymond (Karol) Masse; nieces and nephews: Holly (Nick) Kalma, Bryan Severin, Mark (Lucy) Severin, Dylan Annear, Amber Annear, Brady Masse, Trystan Masse, Samantha Dibben, Xavier Dibben; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and extended family.

Aaron was predeceased by his fathers: Ted Masse (2023), Hewitt Dibben (1980); and numerous grandparents, aunts and uncles.
