It is with great sorrow to announce the passing of Chistopher (Duane) Gaudet on April 28, 2022, age 56 after a long illness with MSA (Multiple System Atrophy). He will be sadly missed by the love of his life, Audrey Adametz. Dear son of late John Gaudet and Janice Gaudet (knee Parks) and Son In-law of John and Vera Adametz. Loving father to Matthew, Quinn and Elizabeth Donovan (Ryan). Dear brother to Kimberly Clark (Peter), Holly Albert (Paul); Gerry Gaudet (Mary Ann); Candice Paulin (Gary); Troy Gaudet (Ma ReKa) and brother-in-law to the late Garry Adametz. He will also be sadly missed by his grandchildren, and many Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, friends and co-workers. He will be especially missed by his doggies, Bernie and Cassie.
In his youth, he started as a short order cook; gas bar attendant; grocery clerk and a shipper/receiver. In October 1989, Duane joined the Canadian Armed Forces, served in the First Gulf War (1990/1991) and Afghanistan War (2006), then retired from service in April 2010. Upon retirement, Duane worked for National Defence Head Quarters with Canadian Forces Intelligence Command as a Web Publisher.
Duane loved travelling and spending time with Audrey. He was also a sports enthusiast and was a hockey referee, golfer and dart player but never refused to play in other sports when called upon. He was loved by all who knew him. His sense of humour was fun-loving and playful.
