It is with sadness that the family announces the passing of Bernard “Bernie” M. Leroux, on July 19, 2026, at the age of 79. Bernie passed away peacefully at Carefor Cornwall Hospice with his family by his side.
He leaves behind his loving children, Shelley Leroux, Travis Leroux (Tracy), and the late Shawn Leroux, as well as his cherished grandchildren, Blaise Leroux (Brianne), Jenna Leroux-Harquail (Nathaniel), and Teagan Leroux, who will forever treasure their memories of him.
