Gaetan Bergevin
1962-2021
Un homme aimable, aimant, charmant et aidant nous a quitté le 5 août. Sa loyauté, son amour, sa bonne humeur et sa préoccupation pour ceux qu’il aimait étaient sans égal. Son conjoint, Michel Doiron, sa mère, Nicole Richer, sa sœur Sylvie et son beau-frère Michel Paré, et son frère Marc et sa belle-sœur Francine Chartrand seront pour toujours attristés par son départ. Son père, Claude Bergevin, l’a précédé dans la tombe. Ses nièces, Caroline, Karissa, Shania, Malika, et son neveu David manqueront leur tonton dans le profond de leur cœur. Sa belle-famille, les Doiron en Acadie, se rappelleront de lui avec beaucoup d’amour. Gaetan laisse également nombreux amis et collègues à Montréal, au Nouveau Brunswick, au Mexique, en Thaïlande et à Ottawa.
Gaetan aimait beaucoup voyager. Il a visité maints pays en Asie, en Europe et en Amérique centrale. Il ne pouvait résister à l’appel d’une bonne station balnéaire et au bleu de l’océan. Depuis quelques années, il fut adepte de culturisme et s’est créé des amitiés fortes au sein de cette communauté.
L’incinération a eu lieu. Un service privé pour sa famille aura lieu à Montréal. Pour ceux qui le souhaite, des dons à la Société canadienne du cancer seront appréciés.
A charming, loving, lovable and helping man has left us on August 5. His loyalty, love, good humour, and his attention to those he cared for were without bounds. His spouse, Michel Doiron, his mother, Nicole Richer, his sister Sylvie and brother-in-law Michel Paré, and his brother Marc and sister-in-law Francine Chartrand, will forever be saddened by his departure. He was pre-deceased by his father, Claude Bergevin. His nieces, Caroline, Karissa, Shania and Malika, as well as his nephew David, will remember him with enormous love in their hearts. His in-laws, the Doiron’s in Acadie, will miss him dearly. Gaetan also leaves behind numerous friends in Montreal, New Brunswick, Mexico, Thailand and Ottawa.
Gaetan loved to travel. He visited many countries in Asia, Europe, and central America. He could not resist the call of a good resort or the blue of the ocean. For the last few years, he practiced bodybuilding and established very strong friendships in this community.
Incineration has taken place and a private service for family will be held in Montreal. For those who wish to do so, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society will be appreciated.

I cherish all the good dinners we shared, you being my best man at my wedding and all the laughter you brought to each of us. Forever in my heart Dear Gaetan.

I am saddened beyond belief at this news. Gaetan, you were a role model, a counsellor, a friend, and one of the best managers I have ever had. Your work has improved the lives of countless individuals who call Canada home. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me.

Gaetan was a wonderful person; my work colleague, mentor, and most importantly, my friend. We had many great conversations at the office, work-related and otherwise, and I could always count on his beautiful smile and sharp sense of humour to make me laugh! Gaetan will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to family and friends.

Mon très cher Michel -- famille et ami(e)s,
Je viens de prendre connaissance du décès de Gaétan, a peine rentré de l'étranger. Nous savons tous, qu'un jour ou l'autre, l'existence se termine pour chacun d'entre nous. Ces quelques mots ne modifieront pas ce triste état de fait. Pourtant je tiens a te témoigner ma compassion et mon amitié de bon voisin. Son sourire était contagieux! Je garderai de Gaétan une grande affection que je t'envoie aujourd'hui et a toute ta famille et amis. Mes meilleures pensées vous accompagnent dans ces moments difficiles.
Dans cette difficile épreuve, je vous assure de mon amitié et vous envoie toute mon affection. Bon courage. Je t'embrace avec grande tendresse.
