Obituary for Jean-Marc Quesnel
C’est avec grande tristesse que nous vous annonçons le décès de Jean-Marc Quesnel survenu le 13 novembre 2020, à l’âge de 86 ans. Jean-Marc laisse dans le deuil son épouse Anita (née Brisson), mariés depuis 62 ans, ses deux fils Luc Quesnel (Carole) et Pierre Quesnel (Denise), ses petits-enfants, Josée Quesnel (Éric), Mylène Quesnel (Samuel), Adèle Hickman (Ian) et Vincent Quesnel (Tara), ainsi que 6 arrières petits-enfants, Maélie, Brayden, Anaïs, Cohen, Ashton et Pillar. Il est prédécédé par son fils Marc Quesnel et ses parents Paul-Émile et Lucia Quesnel (née St-Arnault). Il manquera profondément à sa sœur, Lise Poirier (Gaetan), ainsi qu’à plusieurs neveux, nièces, parents et amis. Originaire de Valleyfield, Jean-Marc et la famille se sont installés à Cornwall en 1971 où il a fondé son garage, Cornwall Tire Service. Épicurien et bon vivant, Jean-Marc aimait particulièrement les voyages en motorisé mais ce qu’il aimait par-dessus tout était de jaser avec ses amis, clients et famille. Il était aussi un redoutable pianiste et chanteur. Jean-Marc était avant tout un homme de cœur, distingué et engagé. Tous l’aimaient. Nous allons le manquer et nous nous souviendrons de cet homme exceptionnel. La famille tient à exprimer sa gratitude au personnel et aux professionnels de la santé au Centre de soins prolongés St Joseph. Dans le contexte actuel, le service funèbre aura lieu à une date ultérieure. Vos marques de sympathie peuvent se traduire par un don au Centre de soins prolongés St Joseph à Cornwall.
