Obituary of Yvon Picard
Est décédé à la maison, entouré de sa famille, le lundi 15 mars 2021, à Carlsbad Springs, ON à l’âge de 69 ans.
Il laisse dans le deuil son épouse bien-aimée de 47 ans Francine Picard (née Desjardins) ; ses enfants : Rachelle, Jacynthe et Andréane (Patrick Larose) ; sa petite-fille Alexandra. Il laisse également ses frères et soeurs : Noëlla, Colombe, Anita (feu Wilfred Harrigan), Andréa (feu Robert Séguin), Agathe (Gérald Séguin), Marcel (Claudette) et Michel (France), ainsi que ses beaux-frères, belles-sœurs, neveux, nièces et amis.
Il fut prédécédé par son fils Jean-François, ses parents Julien et Cécile (née Tessier), sa sœur Anna et ses frères Léopold (Raymonde) et Conrad (feu Pauline).
Yvon était un employé de Bell Canada depuis 35 ans, où il a pris sa retraite en tant que gestionnaire de projet. Sa carrière l’a amené, ainsi que sa famille, à vivre en Nouvelle-Zélande pendant 2 ans, ce qui a toujours été une source de bons souvenirs. Il a ensuite travaillé comme consultant pour le gouvernement du Canada, en tant que gestionnaire de projet.
Il était un ancien président du Club Optimiste de Carlsbad Springs, un ancien Grand Chevalier des Chevaliers de Colomb, conseil no. 9519 St-Laurent, ainsi qu’un membre actif du conseil d’administration local de la Caisse Populaire. Il était un vrai gentleman, il aimait la vie, le plein air, le golf, les voyages (surtout avec sa roulotte 5th wheel), la menuiserie et son Star Trek. Il était toujours prêt à donner un coup de main à sa famille ainsi que ses amis, et très généreux de son temps. Il nous manquera beaucoup.
Pour ceux qui le désirent, des dons en mémoire d’Yvon à la Société Canadienne du cancer ou à un organisme de votre choix seraient appréciés.
