On October
10th 2021, peacefully surrounded by his close
family, Adair Roland Losier, 68, passed away at The Moncton
Hospital.
Born in Tracadie NB, he was
predeceased by his father Raoul Losier and survived by his mother
Jeanne (Bourgeois).
He will be missed by his wife of
over 36 years Rhonda (Connors) Losier, his brothers Raymond (Gertrude
McLaughlin), Tracadie NB and Bruno (Rhonda Moules) Ancaster, ON, his
two beloved daughters, Rachel Comeau (Denis) and Kaylee Losier (Marc
Johnson) of Moncton NB, his only niece Michelle Brideau (Marc
Robichaud) and her son Felix. He was profoundly proud of his three
beautiful grandchildren, who gave him the courage to fight, Olivier,
Xavier and Daphnée Comeau of Moncton NB and by his
brothers-in-law, Brent Connors of Miramichi, NB and Kirk Connors of
Upper Blackville, NB.
With over 25 years of
contribution in baseball, at a young age of 14, he could hit a ball
out of the park with ease which got him invited on the Intermediate
and Senior ‘’les Aigles’’ team
of Tracadie, NB, that made it to the provincial championships in both
1973 and 1974. Following his many years in Baseball, Adair continued
to give back to sports, by coaching introduction to hockey, mini
handball with his daughter in 2003, as well as holding the position as
President of Handball NB for many years. He was also a
parent-volunteer with the NB Juvenile Handball team from 2004-2009.
His devotion to see children play sports, continues to resonate within
our province. He always believed that sports would provide any
individual with the aptitudes to succeed in
life.
Known as Mr. Christie, his 40
year sales career also included Nabisco, Kraft Foods, Cadbury and
ended with Mondelez International. He would pride himself of a job
well done and always ready to go above and beyond for his
clients. In his spare time, he would continue to give back
to his community, through politics, the Club d’Age
d’Or NDG, MS Society, Cancer Society, Diabetes Society as
well as an active member of the Poppy campaign with the Moncton Legion
for the last nine years. In 2019, he was the recipient of the
Richard.B.Hatfield Award. As an organ donor, Adair truly believed
everyone had the power to make this world a better place, one action
at a time.
Although there are too many to
be named, the family thanks his medical team for the ongoing support
and continuous efforts in prolonging his life. This includes but is
not limited to the Oncology department nurses, Dr Harb, Dr Ojah, Dr
Shakerinia and Dr O’Brien at The Moncton
Hospital.
