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.

Brad and I wish to share our deepest condolences. I knew Gaetan from ESDC, where he hired me for my first role in government, as well as through the Goodlife community. He always spoke of Michel and his travels with great fondness, and - during a chance encounter a few years ago - of his enjoyment of retirement. Mon coeur est à vous.

Cher ami. Merci pour ton support et ton amitié. Tu m’as beaucoup encouragé au long de mes compétitions et j’espère que c’était réciproque. Je tiens de très chers souvenirs de toi. Mes sincères condoléances à Michel et vos familles. ??

I didn't know Gaeten for very long but enjoyed the time we worked together. Gaetan was quick with a joke, very easy going and didn't take himself too seriously. I admit I didn't know him like many of his friends and family but I can imagine the kind of person he was and offer my condolences for his loss.

I was shocked to learn of Gaetan's passing. We were colleagues at IRCC and became friends. He always addressed me as "Dear Erin," never just "Erin." I fondly recall many desk visits (where he would share chocolate with me) and conversations, as well as post-work drinks on the patio where lots of laughs were had. He was a kind, thoughtful and warm man, with a wonderful laugh. He always embraced life, and untimely passing is an important reminder to do so. My deepest sympathies to Michel and family.

I am so sad, but so grateful for having the opportunity to work with him. I will always credit him as the person that got me into the Canadian public service. He had a huge heart, with a super human ability to be busy and still give attention to each person and make them feel special. I will never forget him. My deepest sympathies to Michel and family.
Nos sincères condoléances à toute la famille.
