Obituary
Normand (Norm) Brabant, 66, of St.-Charles left this earth on October 12, 2022, following a brief, but very difficult battle with cancer. A fighter until the very end!
He spent his final days surrounded by loved one at the West Nipissing Hummingbird Hospice, where he was kept as comfortable as one could possibly be under the circumstances.
Norm is survived by his mother Suzanne; Son, Shawn; five siblings, Lise, Louis, Debbie, Marc, and Blair. As well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He would not approve of a full obituary being written, but we would like to state that he is survived by many, many loving friends and family. Norm will be dearly missed and always remembered.
Norm was not interested in a traditional funeral service, where everyone would gather with sadness and look down at his body within a casket. Instead, he requested a cremation and a celebration of life (Beer party to be specific) to be held in his honour, for family and close friends to gather, reminisce about the past, and to enjoy some drinks on him. (Sounds like Norm to me.)
A date has not yet been set for this event, however, when we determine it to be appropriate, we will send out invitations.
We would like to send out a BIG Thank You to the staff members at the West Nipissing Hummingbird Hospice. They treated him well, made him comfortable round-the-clock, and made him laugh. And despite his struggle to speak, he didn’t miss an opportunity to flirt with some of them.
Also, a special Thank You to his friend, Dianne, who was at his side throughout these past few difficult months. Thank You, Dianne.
