Production manager Mike Magnusson noted that Pelletier 'leaves a void of spirit we will not be able to replace."
Born on October 15, 1971, in Toronto, Ontario, Pelletier became a cherished member of the When Calls the Heart family. He appeared in several episodes from seasons 9 through 11, portraying an uncredited taxi driver, and also served in the show's transportation department from 2022 to 2024.
Beyond his professional life, Pelletier was deeply devoted to his daughter, Myhrsades (Murray) Jones, whom he often surprised with concert tickets and travel experiences. He was also passionate about cooking, poetry, and hosting gatherings for friends and family.
Pelletier is survived by his daughter, parents, siblings, nephew, and godmother. Instead of flowers, the family has asked fans and loved ones to consider making donations to Joshua House, a Christian supportive home in British Columbia that aids men in recovering from substance abuse and addiction.
