Nelson Joseph Gagnon
1933-2017
It is with heavy hearts the family of Nelson Joseph Gagnon,
best friend and beloved husband of the late June (McIntyre) Gagnon of
56 years, are saddened to announce his passing on Wednesday, February
15, 2017 at the Loch Lomond Village. He was born in Grand Falls, NB on
March 11, 1933 to the late Hector and Elzena (Cameron)
Gagnon.
He is survived by his five daughters: Lynn Koumbias (Simon),
Shirley Bruckschwaiger (Horst), Wanda Bruckschwaiger (Walter), Noella
Newman (Greg) and Liza Gagnon; 12 grandchildren: Manuel (Jennifer),
Amy (Cory), Sacha (Pat), Mellita (Mike), Melissa (Nathaniel), Jessica,
Shawn (Arlene), Brandon, Kristian, Cecilia (Justin), Felicia and Eric;
and 12 great grandchildren, brother-in-law Warren McIntyre, nephews
and nieces. Beside his parents and wife June, Nelson was predeceased
by his brothers Clarence and Gordon.
Nelson had a long career as an electrician, spending his last
24 working years so proudly at St.Joseph’s Hospital. Nelson loved
playing his guitar and providing music, along with fellow musicians,
to local nursing homes. He enjoyed playing cards with
friends, square dancing and judo in his early years. Nelson
was a handyman who could fix anything and spent many hours in his
woodworking shop. He enjoyed camping, hiking through the
woods and cross-country skiing. His faith was most important and he
served as an Eucharistic and funeral minister. A compassionate and
humble man who was forever quietly helping someone in need. Known as
Bubby to his grandchildren, he reminded them of his love with
« Guess what?! I love you »; and known by everyone as a true
gentleman with a gentle soul.
Bubby’s family are so grateful for the
compassionate and excellent nursing care provided on Dogwood, Loch
Lomond Village.
