Michel Ouellette passed away at the UHC Dr-Georges-L.-Dumont in Moncton, on Wednesday, September 9, 2026. He was the son of the late Valérie Ouellette and Léola (Melanson) Ouellette.
Michel leaves behind his mother, Léola; his children: Marc, Jason (Stéphani), Danielle, Stéphanie and Luc; his brothers: Paul (Brenda) and Daniel (Annette); his grandchildren: Gabrielle, Jaylynn, Lynndi, Kobi and Sadie; and his great-grandchildren: Ziggy and Azalea. He will also be deeply missed by his nieces, as well as his many cousins and extended family members. He also leaves behind a special friend and the mother of his children, Béatrice Hébert.
Michel was a man of many passions. He took tremendous pride in being a firefighter, a profession that was an important part of who he was. He also worked as a nurse, dedicating part of his life to caring for others. Michel loved cooking, trying new recipes and sharing his creations with the people around him. A lifelong car enthusiast, he enjoyed collecting cars, but his beloved "hot rod" PT Cruiser held a very special place in his heart.
Perhaps one of the things Michel will be remembered for most, was his love of telling stories. He loved reminiscing and sharing his many stories and adventures. Those who knew him will surely remember hearing some of his favourites, more than once—always told with the same enthusiasm as the first time. His humour, stories, laughter and unmistakable personality will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
Michel was predeceased by his father, Valérie, in 2025.
