LACROIX, Jean Paul
1972 – 2023
Jean Paul Joseph Lacroix passed away on April 8, 2023 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 50 years old. Paul was born on November 19, 1972 in Cochrane, Ontario. His family moved to Kirkland Lake in 1978, where Paul has resided ever since. He loved his community and had a kind word and time for everyone who crossed his path.
Paul will be greatly missed by his fiancée Tracy Wheeler, his children Sawyer, Coleman, Sage, and Wynn, and Tracy’s son Ryan. He is survived by his parents Roger and Anne Lacroix, siblings Marc (Félix), Hélène (Rich), and Lise (Tom), and nephews Matthew, Luc, Benjamin, Alexander, and Jude.
Paul was strong, funny, friendly, a little stubborn, and incredibly generous with his time. Nothing brought Paul more joy than Tracy, his children, and his dogs. He loved being active, watching his children play sports and his daughters dance, and spending every moment he could with his family creating memories that they will treasure.
It was very important to Paul to give back to his community. His passion for hockey as a player, referee, and coach, and his love of sports in general, allowed him to do so. Over the years, Paul coached youth soccer, baseball, and hockey from Timbits to the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners Junior A team. Coach Paul epitomized the true meaning of the word coach. He took the time to get to know each player, recognize their potential, and give them the support and kindness they needed to succeed both as players and people.
To the coaches, players, and parents of G&R Shortt Contractors Ltd. U11 Rep Blue Devils, your thoughtfulness throughout the hockey season provided great comfort to Paul. We simply cannot thank
you enough. In addition, we would like to thank Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Jed, friends and family, the Kirkland Lake community at large, Paul’s lifelong friend Justin Allison, and the staff at Blanche River Health. Each comforting word, act of kindness, and story shared helped make this difficult time a little bit more bearable.
In remembrance of Paul and his love of sports, the Paul Lacroix Memorial Hockey Fund has been established. If you wish to donate to help kids in need play hockey, you may send an email transfer or
