A few hours before the year 2024, the Dion family experienced a terrible tragedy: Brigitte Dion, niece of singer Céline Dion, daughter of her older brother Clément Dion, died in a tragic road accident in Joliette , not far from Montreal. While she was only two kilometers from her home, the niece of the Quebec star was targeted by a crazy car, which left its lane and headed head-on towards her. A third car crashed into the back of Brigitte Dion’s car, a white Mini Cooper. Arriving on the scene, emergency services were unable to do anything except note the death of the fifty-year-old, who very quickly succumbed to her injuries.
Mother and grandmother, Brigitte Dion came from a united and close-knit family. She had countless aunts and uncles, and many cousins, including René-Charles, Céline Dion’s eldest son. On Facebook, his daughter, Kim Dion, wanted to pay him a moving tribute by sharing around twenty family photos, on which appear Thérèse Dion, Céline Dion’s mother, and Clément Dion, the older brother of the singer and grieving father of Brigitte. The tribute that Kim made in writing to her mother is moving: “Mom, you know that I usually always have a beautiful pen… But now, I miss the moments, Mom. Forgive me. They will come back. I promise. I can’t believe what I’m doing it. The words, the photos… I’m confused, mom. Look at how beautiful my mom is. Because you were mom, all mine. Just mine. Talk about my mom, often . Her energy, her crazy laugh, which we could hear from afar. Well, Bridge is in the place! Mamie Minou must have made the solid jump when you arrived in heaven. It must be chattering like hell!”
And to continue, very moved and moving: “My two angels. Send me strength. You will have your coffee afterwards… My little blonde with the laugh of a little mouse. The best of babies. But above all, my mother. Just mine. My mom was a little tired, but that wasn’t the reason she left. My mom wants us to remember the beautiful, vibrant blonde she was. Remember the Bridge that makes sparks. Talk about my mom often. Keep it alive again, my mother. You’re still here, mom. But otherwise. I love you mom.”
The Dions don’t like winter
In recent years, the Dion family has developed the disastrous habit of seeing one of their own leave as the Christmas and New Year holidays approach. January 14, 2016, René Angélil died from throat cancer that he had been fighting for seventeen years. He had celebrated his 73rd birthday two days earlier. January 16, 2016, Céline Dion experienced another tragedy with the death of her big brother Daniel Dion, who also died of throat cancer, which then spread and attacked the brain; he was only 59 years old. Thérèse Dion, she died on January 17, 2020, at the age of 93. Finally, this December 28, 2023, it was Brigitte Dion, niece of Céline Dion, who was tragically lost.
