Lucien Laporte

Lucien E. Laporte (1938 – 2025)

With heartfelt sadness the family of Lucien E. Laporte announce his passing in Sudbury, October 15, 2025, at the age of 87 years. Son of the late William Laporte and the late Rose Anna Laporte (née Therrien). Survived by his wife Ada Laporte (née Nelson) and his daughters Leslie (Dean), Wendie (Don) and Tracie (Dave). He will be lovingly remembered by his four grandchildren Nolan (Amy), Jade (Mackenzie), Jesse (Brooke) and Serena, as well as by his great grandchild Addison.

Lucien was born in St. Charles and over his long life developed many skills.  He became an accomplished underground mining equipment operator and served as a union steward. Lucien met his wife Ada in Elliot Lake and together they started a family, eventually settling in Dowling with their three daughters.  After many years working at Falconbridge Nickel Mines, he retired and enjoyed a life filled with travel, gardening and nature.  

The family would like to thank the caring and supportive staff at Pioneer Manor.

As per Lucien’s wishes there will be no services.
