Dr. Gerard Conan of Baltimore, NB passed away at The Moncton
Hospital on Tuesday, March 01, 2022, at the age of 75. Born in
Fougeres, France he was a son of the late Marcelin and Odette
(Girrebeuk) Conan.
Gerard had a lifelong love of nature. The sea, fishing, and
marine research were his chief interests in life, having lived near
the ocean since his birth. Always studious in his youth, he was
equally diligent and prolific in his career, earning himself
international recognition in his field from peers, colleagues, and
students alike. He made sure to pass on these values to his children
to prepare them for life; he never missed a chance to tell people how
proud he was of all of them. His twilight years were brightened by the
presence of his grandchildren Brandon and Loralie.
His native Brittany was never far from his heart; he would
return every few years to reconnect with his roots.
Bon vivant and loving husband and father, he shared 49 years
of his life with his beloved wife and best friend, Maria Felisa. They
met during a tumultuous time in Chile and took a chance to start a
life together.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the
doctors and nurses of the Moncton Hospital who cared for him with
compassion and professionalism these last few years. In addition, we
express our deepest gratitude to Doctor Ronald Garston and the
personnel of the Riverside-Albert Health and Wellness
Centre.
Survived by wife and best friend, Maria Conan (Pizarro);
daughter, Patricia Conan Estabrooks (Andrew) of Riverview; sons,
Mikaël Conan (Christina) of Calgary, AB, Yves Conan of
Oxford, England; brothers, François Conan (Sylvie) of
Quimper, Brittany France, Dr. Bernard Conan (Monique) of Douarnenez,
Brittany France; grandchildren, Brandon and Loralie
Estabrooks.
