It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gérard Durant, 81 years old, on the morning of February 3, 2025 at the Faubourg du Mascaret after a long illness. Born in Moncton, he was the son of late Joseph and Dora (LeBlanc) Durant.

Gérard was a kind, loving and talented man who suffered a life-altering TBI mid-life yet still managed to remain good-humoured through it all. He never complained, never lost hope and kept his fun-loving sense of humour up to the very end.

Beloved husband of Bernice (Cormier) and loving father to his three children: Pierre, Janice and André (Jodi), he also leaves in mourning his granddaughter Ariel, his sister Eileen Ouellet (Ben), his brother Bob, his sister-in-law Claudette Grant (Steven), his brother-in-law Roland (Kathy), as well as many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his siblings Donald, Micheal (Ethel), Phyllis Kenny (Jack) and Jocelyne Stevens (Arnie).

We wish to thank the staff at the Faubourg du Mascaret for their care during his last months.

It was Gérard’s wish that there be no funeral or visitations. In memory of Gérard, a contribution to Parkinson Canada would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (506-858-1900).
