REGINA Friends, family and community members are mourning the loss of local chef Warren Montgomery, who died in a Regina hospital on Tuesday after a fight with COVID-19. Montgomery, 42, was originally from Louisiana. He was the owner of The Big Easy Kitchen, which offered “simple, southern comfort food with local and authentic southern ingredients” according to its Facebook page. Brandon Brooks, Montgomery’s best friend who is also from Louisiana, said they met in 2011 at a Football Saskatchewan coach s convention and became immediate friends. “I was wearing my New Orleans Saints hat and all of a sudden I notice this brother from across the room just staring at me,” Brooks said.
I ve heard about the ICU being max capacity, overcapacity, but I didn t understand until I saw it, Roshelle said. It s literally like a nightmare in there.
After battling the coronavirus variant first identified in the U.K., the 42-year-old chef died peacefully Tuesday with Roshelle holding his hand.
Warren was a big personality with a big smile
Warren was working with Delta Airlines in Atlanta 10 years ago when he and Roshelle connected online. The two met for the first time that June, got married that October and settled in Regina. He was my soulmate. He was my everything, Roshelle said. He was big in life, the big smile. He lived and breathed cooking.
