It is with great sadness that the family of Alexandre Méthot, of Moncton, N.B., announces his passing after a brief illness on Friday, June 28, 2024, at Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre.
Domiciled at the Pavillon Gallant of the Faubourg du Mascaret, in Moncton, and formerly in Rothesay, Alexandre was born on February 2, 1938, in Dalhousie, N.B. He was a son of Alexandre and Florentine (Caissie) Méthot.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Léa Allard-Méthot (2020), two sisters: his twin sister of low age, Léona, as well as Evelyne. He leaves in mourning his son, Rino (Manon Savoie) of Rothesay, three grand-children: Jacob, Madeleine, and Emma, one sister, Sister Jénita Méthot (Les filles de Jésus of Riverview), one brother, Léonel (Mary Godin) of Moncton, as well as his nieces and nephews.
For thirty-five years, Alexandre worked in the N.B. school system as a teacher, administrator and French coordinator. He also taught courses for the Université de Moncton. He had tremendous analysis and synthesis abilities in communication, reading, and writing.
Avid of learning, organized and humble, Alexandre was a passionate reader and writer. He meditated daily and loved painting cards for his loved ones. He was always able to make others laugh and was a very sociable person.
For many years, Alexandre was associated with Les frères de l’Institution chrétienne.
Alexandre lives in our hearts, and to see him again, we must simply close our eyes.
Parents and friends are invited to Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church St, Moncton (506-858-1900), on Tuesday, July 16th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. (celebration of life will begin at 4 p.m.), in accordance with Alexandre’s wishes.
