Print Obituary print this page

Eddy Gallant, 84, of Cormier-Village, passed away surrounded by his family on Friday, May 3, 2024, at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC. Born in Gallant-Settlement, he was the son of the late Tanis and Marguerite (Gallant) Gallant.

Before retiring, Eddy worked for Parlee Beach Provincial Park.

Eddy was a hard worker. He trained as a carpenter. This trade allowed him to work on many construction projects. His passion, however, was his farm. He became a farmer in his early twenties, and this passion stayed with him until recently. Horses had a very special place on his farm.

He loved having visitors at home. His warm welcome and sense of humor kept his friends coming back. He also loved going for truck rides with his friend Gérald Léger, who was very much a part of his life.

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Yvonne (Robichaud) Gallant; two children: Pierrette Gallant (Gérald Richard) and Léon Gallant (Irma LeBlanc) all of Grand-Barachois; a son in-law, Denis Landry of Cormier-Village; a sister, Cécile Carrier (Élie) of Timmins, ON; two sisters-in-law: Hélène Belliveau and Lorraine Belliveau both of Timmins, ON; three grandchildren: Rémi, Julien and Jasmine; three great-grandchildren: Olivier, Rosalie and Breelle, as well as his nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his daughter Charline Landry (2023), his brothers Méderic and Marcel, and his sisters Juliette and Elda.

Special thanks to his wife, our mother, Yvonne, who provided exceptional care at home during the past year.

The family would also like to thank the Shediac Extra-Mural team and the Dr. Léon Richard Oncology Centre for their loving and compassionate care.

The family will receive condolences at the Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 396 Main Street, Shediac (506-532-3297) on Thursday, May 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. only. Funeral mass will be celebrated at St-Henri de Barachois Church, 1356 Route 133, Grand-Barachois on Friday, May 10 at 11 a.m. Interment will be in St-Henri de Barachois Cemetery, Grand-Barachois.

In Eddy's memory, a contribution to the Fondation CHU Dumont (Oncology) or to the Père-Edgar-T.-LeBlanc school breakfasts would be appreciated.
