At his residence, Francis Bérubé of Shediac passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on April 2, 2026. He was the son of the late Paul Emile Bérubé and Simonne Caron.

Francis found great joy in life's simple pleasures. In his free time, he enjoyed playing golf and was an avid fan of NASCAR, hockey, and baseball. Above all, however, his true passion was cooking, an art through which he expressed his love and brought his family together around many meals.

Francis will be deeply missed by his wife of 40 years, Claire; his two daughters Natacha Leger (Mathieu Leger) and Sonia Bérubé (Jean Francois Demers) of Cabano, Quebec, his five brothers: Yvan, Gilbert, Benoît, Gaëtan, and Jacques; five sisters: Micheline, Marie-Paul, Jovette, Lise, and Danielle, as well as his five grandchildren: Christian Demers, Reese McPhee, Nathan Demers, Charlie, and Riley. He will also be missed by many nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by two brothers: Normand and Viateur; and a sister, Diane Bérubé. In memory of Francis, donations to the Dr. Sheldon H. Rubin Oncology Clinic at the Moncton Hospital would be appreciated.
