Gilles Guérette passed away peacefully at the
Pavillon Landry, Faubourg du Mascaret in Moncton on Sunday, January 1,
2023, at the age of 78. Born in Edmundston, raised in
Kedgwick, he was the son of the late Patrick and Germaine (Normandeau)
Guérette.
He began his career in Fredericton at municipal affairs as an
urban planner, then in Campbellton for 28 years as Director of the
Restigouche District Planning Commission.
Gilles was a cultivated and spiritual man. Being a person of
faith, he devoted himself to the Catholic Church and read the Bible
every day. His favourite hobbies were reading, photography, video
editing, computer programming, genealogy, astronomy, bicycling,
cross-country skiing, kayaking, hiking, and landscaping. There were
many vacations in Québec where he visited botanical
gardens, churches, museums, book, and music stores. His appreciation
for music was often shared with his wife at the Festival de musique
baroque in Lamèque as well as the concerts of Jeunesses
musicales in Dalhousie.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years,
Thérèse LaForge; two children: Jean-Marc (Tina
Arseneault) of Allardville, and Marie-Josée (Dominic
Leblanc) of Moncton; his dear granddaughter, Noémie
Gaïa Pitre (Justin Rioux) of St. John’s, Newfoundland; his
three brothers: Jean (Sonia Vigneault) of Ottawa, Ontario, Paul
(Lisette Couturier) of Shediac and Jacques (Diane Savoie) of
Campbellton; two sisters: Suzanne (James MacGregor) of Morocco and
Anne (Armel Audet) of Eel River; his sister-in-law, Micheline
Lavallée-Guérette of Moncton; as well as several
brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces of the large
LaForge, Guérette and Normandeau families.
Besides his parents, Gilles was predeceased by his brother
Robert in 2022 and his sister Lise Schuman in 2019.
