On Wednesday, August 6th 2025, Andre passed peacefully away in the comfort of his own home surrounded by family.

Beloved husband to Wanda. Dear father of Jessica (Joe), Jacob, and Alannah. Loving Papa to Cole, Grayson, and Lucy. Cherished brother of Yves, Angela, Jocelyn, Gabriel (Melissa), and Raymond. Loving uncle to Jenny, Sarah, Megan, Lisa, Steven, Roz, Logan, Lizzie, and Julian, and great uncle to Mackenzie, Ethan and Jaden. Adoring son to Lauréa and predeceased by his father Laurent.

Andre looked forward to everyday. No matter if it was going to work, away for the weekend with friends and family, or simply spending the day at home. In all roles of his life, he wore each hat remarkably well. As a husband, Andre was the perfect soulmate, seeing reflections of this in him and his wife’s everyday lives. On Andre and Wanda’s first date, they saw a falling star that they noticed together and from this moment on their love continued to grow. As a father he was very present and involved, being sure to show up to every aspect of his children’s lives. Which ranged from being on the bench for the hockey team or sitting in the audience for endless hours of performances. He was a role model and support system for not only his own children but their friends too, treating

them as his own. Offering advice or a helping head if needed, he was a generous man, welcoming all to spend time with him. As a Papa he was a good teacher, leading with kindness and patience; there was always time to explain and pass on the learning. He felt blessed to have three amazing grandkids who he taught how to have fun outside like himself; through fishing, skating, swimming, snowmobiling, tobogganing, bon fires, ATVing, boating, walking, kayaking and so much more. Andre was a loyal friend, maintaining these friendships from elementary school to the end of his life. Andre’s love for cars allowed him to become a very proud business owner of Andre’s Auto Repair’s for over 30 years. He was a successful mechanic who treated everyone with kindness and honesty, and was very well respected in this community. Andre was very proud of the life he created and sustained for him and his family. He always expressed his gratitude for being at home and was happiest tinkering around, tending to all the needs and demands at the place he loved most. He led a life with happiness and ease. Andre enjoyed the simple things in life, like his morning tea in the sun and his Budweiser at night; both in his favorite place, at home.
