Carl Edward Roy Gautreau

It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of Carl Edward Roy Gautreau. Born in Gallagher Ridge, NB on December 30, 1950, he was the oldest of 11 siblings, something he was so proud of.
He moved to Fredericton in 1971 where he began his career at NB Power and met the love of his life, Cynthia. He spent 44 years at NB Power and took great pride in all of the lifelong friendships he made there. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 8654.
Born: December 30, 1950
Death: August 22, 2018
Carl was a proud family man and would talk about his boys to anyone within earshot. He will forever be remembered for his kindness, generosity and passion to help others. He was loved by anyone who ever met him.
Carl is survived by his wife of 37 years, Cynthia; his father, Arthur « Art » Gautreau; his sons, Evan and Matthew both of Fredericton, NB; his brothers, Jack (Sharon), Paul, Danny, Robb (Debbie) and his sisters, Patricia, Theresa (Walter), Lea (Gary), Millie (Johnny) and Corrine (Bob); numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother, Virginia (Chase) Gautreau and his brother, Donald.
« He did not tell us how to live; he simply lived and let us watch. »
