It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Claude Sound of Edmonton (formerly of Kinuso, AB) on Monday November 4, 2024 at the University of Alberta hospital.
He will be greatly missed and forever loved by his parents Clarence and Ruby Sound, two brothers: Preston (Barbara) and Kristen (Dana) and four nephews: Jay, Gabriel, Gage and Garnet, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and co-workers.
Claude loved to cook, read books, travel, family gatherings and casinos! His happiest times were those spent with his family whom he loved dearly.
The family would like to express their great gratitude to Aunts Freda and Debbie for their assistance, support and care of Claude during his short battle with cancer.
There will be no funeral or service as per Claude’s wishes.
He is now resting peacefully and with no pain.
My heartfelt condolences to Clarence and Ruby Sound and family to hear of Claude’s passing. I will forever cherish my childhood memories of spending my summers in Kinuso and spending many days hanging out together and chumming about. I’m grateful to have known Claude. Many blessings to all his family and friends.
Our family has known Claude and his family for many years when we all lived in Kinuso. Our deepest condolences to the Sound Family and friends. Cherish all the memories and hold them close. May he rest in Peace.
Claude you will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for being my friend no matter how many years had passed.
Having had the privilege of working with Claude for the past 9 years, I witnessed and held the utmost of respect for one of the kindest and humble souls, who was always there to help, educate and guide others and to do what was right, regardless of the situation. I shared many laughs and insightful discussions with Claude as we navigated our way through the “nonsense”. Over the years, regardless of their position or status, Claude took many under his wing and showed them the way forward. I will remember Claude as an outstanding man and friend who was very devoted to the First Nation people that he supported and most importantly to his family. A job well done, may you rest in peace my friend.
To the Sound family, I offer you all my heartfelt condolences and trust that you will find comfort in your cherished memories.

Hey Claude, it was too soon for you to upgrade to a Michelin life. Although we didn’t have the meal together with your awesome cooking, I am thankful for all the joyous times we shared at work and the knowledge you’ve shared with me. You will continue with me as the Michelin of FNIHB. Keep on cookin’, my friend, as I know you will!
I am saddened to hear of the passing of our friend and colleague Claude. My prayers are with his family and friends.
Claude was one of the first people I worked with at ISC, and helped me learn the ropes without asking for anything in return. His wit, wisdom, and tendency to roll up in a super slick Cadillac will all be sorely missed. Rest in peace.
Claude had a great sense of humor! I knew Claude both from going to school in Kinuso, Alberta, and later working at Indigenous Services Canada. Our sincerest condolences from the Sheldon Family.

May his family and friends find comfort in the wonderful memories made. Hugs to all.
