Jean-Christophe (JC) Haas
1968-2021
A huge piece of our hearts is now missing, as we announce the
passing of Jean-Christophe (JC) Haas on December 18th, 2021, in the
comfort of his home; in the arms of his wife and three children. JC
was born in Auxerre, France on January 10th, 1968. He spent his youth
in Dollard-Des Ormeaux, Quebec, playing baseball, diving, track
& field, and could be found at the arcade hanging with
friends. JC joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1990 where he proudly
served for 16 years. Sadly, he was medically released due to
Machado-Joseph Disease. He continued to reside and stay active within
the military community.
Most important to JC was family. The loves of his life, were
his wife Cherie, his daughter Syenna, and sons Gabryel and
Xavyer.
JC was the proud son of Rene Haas and Janick
Bordes. He was adored by his sister Christelle Haas (Daniel Belleau).
Step-son to Ursula Als, and step-brother to Joanna Ashworth (Glen). He
was a son-in-law to Neil and Elaine Clifford. A brother-in-law to
Julie Allen (Kevin), Haley Richard (Stephen), Sheri Whitlock (Neil).
An uncle to Julien & Gregory Haas-Belleau, Jonathan &
Emily Ashworth, Huxley & Malachy Richard and Sierra
Whitlock.
JC was predeceased by his mother, sister and
father-in-law.
He will also be sadly missed by many aunts,
uncles and cousins, some as far away as France.
JC lived with his illness (MJD) for the past 20 years. He
truly LIVED life to its fullest. No matter what hardships he was faced
with, he persevered. He spent a lot of his time volunteering within
his community. Whether it was at his children’s school, the Geary
Lion’s Club, or spending countless hours in a freezing
hockey rink watching his sons’ games and practices, he enjoyed each
and every experience. JC was well known for his daily walks around
Geary, initially with a cane, eventually transitioning into using his
mobility-scooter. He loved being outside and interacting with people
in the community. Due to the progression of his disease during the
last 4 years, he was unable to venture out alone but continued to do
everything that he loved just in different ways. He never gave up and
never complained. JC truly LIVED life and will continue to live on
through us all as the inspiration that he was.
