François Caron (1939-2025)

C’est avec une grande tristesse que nous annonçons le décès de François Caron, survenu paisiblement le 7 juillet 2025, à l’âge de 86 ans, au Chatham-Kent Health Alliance.

Né le 13 avril 1939, François laisse dans le deuil son épouse bien-aimée Mae (née Bastien), avec qui il a partagé 64 années d’amour et de dévouement. Il fut un père attentionné et fier de ses enfants : Gisèle (Andrew Kawa), l’abbé Marcel, André (Yvette), Anita (Jim Johnston) et Gilles (Ariane Demers).

Il laisse également dans le chagrin ses 10 petits-enfants et 17 arrière-petits-enfants, à qui il a transmis ses valeurs de foi, de travail et d’amour familial.

Il était le fils de feu Réginald et de feu Lucile (née Adam) et le frère de feu Pierre (Jacqueline Coulombe), feu Hélène (Robert Chauvin), Claire (Stan Bénéteau), Jean-Michel (Annette Laprise), Denise (Jerry Tremblay), Louise Béchard (feu Dave Holt).

Ayant travaillé dans le domaine de l’éducation pendant toute sa carrière professionnelle, François portait un amour et un profond attachement à la terre. Homme de cœur, François était apprécié pour sa bonté, son humour discret et sa fidélité à sa famille et à sa foi. Son souvenir vivra dans le cœur de tous ceux qui l’ont connu et aimé.

La famille recevra parents et amis pour lui rendre hommage au salon funéraire Hinnegan-Peseski, 156 rue William Sud à Chatham le jeudi 10 juillet de 14 heures à 16 heures et de 18 heures à 20 heures. Les funérailles auront lieu en l’église Immaculée-Conception à Pain Court, Ontario, le vendredi 11 juillet à 10h30, suivies de l’inhumation au cimetière paroissial.

La famille remercie sincèrement le personnel de la Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Eden Villa et Bayshore Services pour les soins attentionnés prodigués à François.

Vos marques de sympathie peuvent se traduire par un don à l’Institut Séculier Pie X (www.ispx.org) duquel François et Mae sont membres associés depuis de nombreuses années.
