On March 4, 2023, the husband of RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, Ray Gauthier, passed away. The RCMP Twitter page announced the news, which expressed its deepest condolences to Lucki and her family.
Lucki has served as the 24th Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since April 16, 2018, and was the first woman to hold the position permanently. She has dedicated her career to public service and has led the RCMP with distinction, working to modernize the force and promote inclusivity and diversity.
The passing of Lucki’s husband is undoubtedly a devastating loss for her and her family. The RCMP’s message of condolences is a testament to the organization’s support and recognition of the importance of family, particularly during difficult times.
It is important to remember that while Lucki is a public figure and a leader in the RCMP, she is also a human being who is experiencing profound grief. Respecting her privacy and allowing her to mourn her loss in peace is important.
The loss of a loved one is a painful and difficult experience, and it is particularly challenging for those who serve in positions of leadership. We must recognize the strength and resilience of those who continue to carry out their responsibilities despite personal tragedy.
We sincerely sympathize with Commissioner Lucki and her family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in support of their loved ones, their colleagues, and the wider community.
