Claude LeBlanc, 57, of Dieppe, passed away peacefully on Monday January 30, 2023 at his residence. Born in Moncton, he was raised in Saint-Louis by his maternal grandmother, the late Olézine Babineau, and was the son of the late Albert and Marie-Anne (Babineau) LeBlanc.

Claude worked as the Controller at Shediac Lobster Shop and valued the friendship from the owner Gilles Maillet over his time there.  Claude enjoyed playing cards.  He especially enjoyed the card games that he had with his family over the past year.

Claude is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 21 years, Annette Comfort; nine siblings: Jeanne d’Arc Renton (Brent) of Shediac Bridge, Vincent LeBlanc (Yvonne) of Sussex, Alberte Richard (Raymond) of Saint-Louis, Marielle LeBlanc (Jack Morley) of Dieppe, Louis of Saint-Louis, Jean (Lisa) of Saint-Charles, Lise LeBlanc (Jean-Paul Mazerolle) and Lisette LeBlanc (Dave Cormier), both of Aldouane, and Pierre LeBlanc (Judith) of Québec; as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.  Claude will be especially missed by his cousin Daniel Babineau, and his long-time best friend Ola Cormier, both of whom hold a special place in Claude’s heart.
