It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our dear Marcel. With courage and dignity, he left us after a long battle against cancer. Surrounded by his family, he passed away at the Albert House hospice on Thursday, August 15, 2024, at the age of 74. Born in Edmundston and residing in Shediac Cape, he was the son of the late Albert and Thérèse (Landry) Roy.
With unconditional love, he leaves behind wonderful memories with his wife Pauline (Albert); his daughter Isabelle Roy (Richard McCulloch) and his grandson Thomas of Grande-Digue, as well as his daughter Julie Roy MacAdam of Moncton and his granddaughters: Ava and Madeline.
He is also survived by his brothers and sisters: Pauline (Jean-Louis Levesque) of St-Basile-le-Grand, QC, Jean-Marie (late Clémence Charest) of Matane, QC, Alice (Robert Emond) of Notre-Dame-de-Kent, Louise of Dieppe, Daniel (Murielle Mallet) of Shediac, Anne (Bernard Long) of Grand-Barachois, Pierre (Denise Haché) of Moncton, and Hélène (Jacques Lajoie) of Irishtown; as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister Denise.
A distinguished businessman recognized for his expertise and integrity, he founded Structo Construction Inc. in 1990. This accomplishment brought him great pride and enabled him to build strong business relationships and genuine friendships.
Marcel was our star on earth, with his generosity, spirit of helping others, and love of life. He has left us like a shooting star that will shine forever.
The family wishes to thank the staff and volunteers at Albert House for the wonderful care provided with respect and compassion.
