Gilles Rousseau
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gilles Lucien Rousseau, who died peacefully on April 7, 2023, in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec.
Born on June 14, 1944, in Montreal, Quebec, Gilles was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many.
Gilles is survived by his devoted wife of 36 years, Lucie Daviault. Together, they shared a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. He will be deeply missed by his children, Lisa Rousseau (Kevin Wyllie), David Rousseau, Angela Rousseau-Perera and step-daughter Isabelle Plamondon. Gilles was a proud grandfather to Anna, Anton, Bram, Colin, Step Grandchildren Hailey and Caitlin.
Gilles is also survived by his siblings, Louisette (Georges Provencher), Lise Rousseau-Blain, Ghislaine Rousseau, Christiane (Gerald Gatien), Francine Rousseau-Bartlett and Danielle Rousseau. He was predeceased by his parents, Lucien Rousseau and Yvonne Theriault, and his brother, Guy Rousseau.
He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. Gilles was blessed with a close circle of friends who will miss his friendship and laughter.
Throughout his life, Gilles was a life long learner and self made man. He taught his children to always be curious, open minded and to be self sufficient. He loved cycling with his wife Lucie and a good Coors light beer. He also taught himself to paint and considered himself an admirer of art and it’s many different styles. He was outgoing and could talk to any stranger wherever he went and enjoyed thought provoking conversations with his friends and family.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Gilles. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in May to honour Gilles.
The family will receive condolences Friday May 19 from 10 AM to 12 PM, at the Urgel Bourgie Funeral Home, located at 1559 Rue de Montarville, Saint-Bruno, Quebec. A celebration of his life will take place at the same location at 12 PM, to pay tribute to Gilles.
May Gilles Lucien Rousseau rest in peace, knowing that his love and life's lessons will continue to guide his family and friends for years to come.
