Howard Nadeau aka Coleman

In loving memory of Howard (Nadeau) aka Howard Coleman who passed away on the early morning of January 29, 2025, in Sudbury, with his daughters Debbie Nadeau and Jody Nadeau by his side. He was supported and taken care of by his granddaughters Jomanda Nadeau and Jamea Nadeau for the past 5 plus years.

Beloved husband of the late Louise Nadeau predeceased August 21, 2017, of Sudbury. Loving father of Randy Nadeau (wife Joy Nadeau) of Calgary, Debbie Nadeau (Terry) of Sudbury, Tricia Nadeau of London, Katrina Nadeau of Sudbury, and Jody Nadeau of Hamilton. Cherished grandfather with 13 grandchildren: Melanie, Kerri-Lynn, Krystal, Jomanda, Siobhan, Jamea, Shay, Dae than, Garreth, Elijah, Joshua, Shaquel and Isiah. Also survived by 6 great-grandchildren Kayden, Maddox, Mackenzie, Tatum, Rhumour, Ethan, and an expected new addition May 2025. 

Howard was a tremendous hard worker and dedicated father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He loved and enjoyed laughing, telling jokes, and socializing at choir practice. If you know you know….. He loved the outdoors and fishing whether it be summer or winter. He loved nothing more than a good cup of coffee, a plain old-fashioned doughnut, with his daily paper, so he can start his crossword saga. He was the best pool player in the area from Lively to Sudbury. Howard loved his Hockey nights in Canada watching his favorite team, the Toronto Maple Leaf’s.  His favorite thing was to gather all his children together and celebrate by having a barbeque. He was a selfless extremely giving gentleman, who was blessed to be able to pass with such dignity and grace at Maison McCulloch Hospice in Sudbury.

In keeping with his wishes, there will be no visitation. Donations to the Maison McCulloch Hospice, in his memory would be greatly appreciated by his family.

Cremation services provided by Simple Wishes of the North Sudbury and Crystal Crematorium.
