At the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC, on Saturday, July 11, 2026, Roger Léger of Boudreau-Ouest, NB, passed away peacefully at the age of 89.  He was the son of the late Philias and Eveline (Léger) Léger.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jacqueline ''Jackie'' Léger of Shediac; his son, Emery (Danie) of Boudreau-Ouest; his granddaughters: Gabrielle, Claire and Julie; as well as several nieces and a nephew.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Ella Melanson.

Roger carried a lifelong passion for horses and farm equipment, a love that reflected his deep connection to the land. He cherished every summer spent at the family cottage in Cap Brûlé with friends who meant so much to him. He was a proud father of his only son, and his grandchildren brought him endless joy. His deep love for his wife remained with him all his life. After retiring, he continued giving back to his community through Church committees, hospice, and three terms as the municipal representative for Boudreau-Ouest.

The family is deeply grateful to the Dr. Georges‑L.-Dumont UHC staff for their kindness and attentive care. We also wish to thank his family doctor, Dr. Rhéal Boudreau, who cared for him like his own father. Your support and compassion will always be remembered with appreciation.
