MASSE, Paul Andrew George Masse

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Paul Andrew George Masse, on the morning of September 30, 2025, in Paris, Ontario, after a courageous and lengthy battle with his health. Paul passed away peacefully with his beloved wife of 32 years, Denise, by his side.

Born in North Bay, Ontario, on July 7, 1966, Paul was the cherished son of Ivan Leo Paul Masse and Doreen Ivy Wilkinson Masse. Paul was a devoted husband, proud father, and a constant source of strength, humour, and love to his family. He leaves behind his wife, Denise, and their three children: Melissa (Jake), Jocelyn (Jonathan), and Aiden.

One of ten siblings, he is lovingly remembered by his sisters Janet (Bob), Judy, Bonnie (Wayne), Susan (Michael) and brothers Peter, Ivan (Dianne), John (Nidia), and Jerry (Louise). He is predeceased by his brother, James Masse.

A true animal lover, Paul’s heart extended to his fur babies Mia and Freddie, as well as his grand-fur babies: Ollie, Piper, Kobe, and Ellie, all of whom brought him great joy and comfort.

Paul was known for always having a joke at the ready and a smile that could light up a room. He had a gift for making people laugh, even in the toughest of times. A lifelong and passionate Montreal Canadiens fan, Paul never missed a game and wore his Hab’s Crest loud and proud. He also had the gift of the gab, Paul could talk your ear off and had stories for days, always ready with a memory, a laugh, or a conversation that made you feel like the most important person in the room. His warmth, wit, and unwavering love for his family and friends will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
