C’est avec une grande tristesse que nous annonçons le décès du Dr Maxime Bouchard le 21 avril 2022. Après une longue et courageuse lutte contre le cancer, il a choisi l’aide médicale à mourir. C’est ainsi, en contrôle de son départ qu’il nous a quitté, chez lui entouré de ses proches. Maxime laisse dans le deuil son épouse bien-aimée Susi, ses merveilleux garçons Daniel et Mathias, sa mère Pauline, son frère Stéphane, sa nièce Cameron, sa belle-mère Emma, son beau-frère Roland ainsi que de nombreux parents et amis.
Père d’une fantastique famille aux valeurs profondes, chercheur de calibre mondial en biogénétique, mélomane et musicien, il laissera une trace imposante. Maxime était Professeur à l’Institut du cancer Rosalind et Morris Goodman et au département de biochimie de l’Université McGill. Il était également titulaire d’une Chaire de recherche du Canada sur la génétique développementale du système urogénital.
La famille tient à remercier le personnel du Centre du cancer des Cèdres au CUSM, du CLSC René-Cassin et de Nova soins à domicile pour l’ensemble des excellents soins donnés.
Une célébration aura lieu le samedi 7 mai à 16hrs au Complexe funéraire Mont-Royal, 1297 ch. la forêt, Outremont, H2V 2P9, la famille recevra les condoléances dès 15hrs.
Au lieu de fleurs, la famille apprécierait des dons à la mémoire de Maxime au NOVA Home Care à www.novasoinsadomicile.ca/.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Maxime Bouchard on Thursday, April 21st. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, he decided to part on his own terms and he left us peacefully, surrounded by his close family at home. Maxime is survived by his beloved wife Susi, their two sons Daniel and Mathias, his mother Pauline, his brother Stephane, his niece Cameron, his brother-in-law Roland and his mother-in-law Emma. He also leaves a wide circle of family, dear friends and colleagues.
Maxime was Professor at the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Centre and at the Department of Biochemistry at McGill University. He was a world-renowned scientist and held the Canada Research Chair in Developmental Genetics of the Urogenital System. With his research, he significantly contributed to the fundamental understanding of how mechanisms that control normal embryonic tissue and organ development can deviate to drive cancer.
The family would like to express their deep gratitude to the medical team at the Cedars Cancer Centre at the MUHC and to the palliative care teams from the CLSC René-Cassin and Nova Home Care.
A memorial will take place on May 7th, from 3-5 pm at Mount Royal Funeral Complex, 1297 Chemin de la Forêt, Outremont, QC, H2V 2P9, followed by a reception in the same building. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Maxime’s memory to the NOVA Home Care at www.novasoinsadomicile.ca/

Really shocked to hear the news. Our sincere condolences to the family and friends. We will miss all the wonderful brainstorming sessions with Maxime to understand how the lower urinary tract plumbing is established and underlying mechanisms that could help understand and potentially treat renal malformations. We will miss la the great contributions coming from your lab, your energy and enthusiasm.
Rest In Peace Maxime. You were a great scientist and human being. Warmest condolences to the whole family.
Rest in peace, and many thanks for all the kind help and stimulating discussions. I recall our discussion in your office about the diagnosis in 2019, and really admire your calm and great courage. You will be well remembered by many of us. Deepest sympathy to the family!
