It is with heavy hearts that we, Nicole Léger, and Gary Doucette, announce the passing of our son, François Léger, 41 years old. François was intelligent and very active; he loved the outdoors, off-roading in his Jeep and working in Carpentry. He loved to tell stories. In his stories, he saw it all and did it all. Unfortunately, François struggled with drug addiction throughout his life. He had a hard time coping with the outcome of a Motor Vehicle Accident eight years ago which left him a quadriplegic.
The happiest day of his life was when his son Kodi (11 years old) was born. François was at his best when fathering Kodi, whom he simply adored. He had a special and amazing relationship with his grandmother, Anna Léger. We will never be able to thank her enough for the patience, care and especially the love she showed François throughout his life and especially during these last painful few years. He admired her and we will forever be grateful to have her in our lives.
François is also survived by his father, Yvon Cormier (Michelle); his sister, Adèle Cormier (Rémi Fournier), his paternal grandmother, Doris Cormier, as well as several aunts, uncles, and cousins. We are very thankful that his godfather, Pierre Léger (Monette) were able to be there during his last hours.
To the Doctors and nursing staff on unit 4E at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC, we thank you for the care provided over the last two months.
We hope you can ditch the wheelchair, the pain and hug big up there.
