2021- 1991
It is with heavy hearts the family announces the passing of Francis on June 14, 2021. Proud son of Robert and Joëlle. Loving brother to Cassandra and Sean-Andrew (Lindsay). Grandson to Ghislain, Lise (nee Benoit) Grondin and Aline (nee Bruyere) predeceased, and Walter Ingham predeceased. Cousin to Cindy (Sean), Maygan (Justin), Jessie (Matt), Alyson, Gabrielle, Alexis, Joshua (Jennifer), Jason-Lee, (Bailey), Bryanna, Jennifer (Sylvian), Cathy-Ann (Yannick) and Tracy-Lee (Patrick). Proud Dad to Aubrey. He will be sadly missed by his aunts and uncles, Diane (Steve), Norman, Donna predeceased, Richard (Kathleen) and Daniel (Cathy).
For all that knew Francis, knew he was a true, generous, and kind soul. Always willing to lend a helpful hand, as he was very good with his hands and could always manage to make things work.
Hockey (Go Flames Go), snowmobiling, ATVing and fishing were only a small fraction of his passions. He will be immensely missed by family and friends that became family and every mudhole.
In his honour we ask you to please continue to raise awareness concerning this ongoing opioid crisis. Write to our current Mayor, our current Premier and have as many conversations as you can within our community to help continue to break the stigma.
Never gone and never forgotten. He truly will always be in our hearts.
