Jean ‘Raas’ Louis killed in Burlington crash​

Decorated cyclist Jean ‘Raas’ Louis honed his sport on the paths and roadways of his two homes, in St. Lucia and Canada. It was on one of those roads that he took his last breath.

On Oct. 17, at around 6:30 a.m., Louis was riding his bike to work on Appleby Line, near Harvester Road, in Burlington when he was struck by the driver of a vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Louis, who was 67, is predeceased by his ex-wife, Daniella Theophilus, and leaves behind two sons, Jeanaky Ferdinand and Mario Dumerville, four siblings, Francis, Annette, Daniel, and Ann-Marie, as well as several nieces and nephews, and many friends.

Born in Martinique, Louis lived in St. Lucia for many years before coming to Canada more than 30 years ago, settling first in Brantford and more recently in Burlington.

Back home, he was a well-known national cycling star, who won numerous prestigious road races, most notably the inaugural three-stage Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States Cycling Championships in 1987 and the National Day Ovaltine Cycling Championship in 1989....
