On Wednesday, August 16th, 2023, Marcel Bouchard of Dowling, Ontario, passed away peacefully at Health Sciences North Sudbury, surrounded by his loving family at the age of 69 years. Marcel was a diligent worker who found joy in trucking for many years of his life and excelled as a skilled mechanic. He held a deep fascination for various types of trucks, and if ever faced with a mechanical conundrum, he was the go-to person for solutions. Over the years, he generously shared his wisdom with numerous individuals eager to learn from him.
During his retired years, Marcel embraced the outdoors, especially relishing moments spent alongside his son-in-law Christopher and daughter Nicole. Marcel is preceded in death by his mother, Yvette Laurin, father Leon (Maurice) Bouchard, and his brothers Roger and Denis Bouchard. He is survived by his devoted common-law wife of 42 years, Sheila Lindberg, his son Courtenay Bouchard (Mariana), his daughter Nicole Morgan (Christopher), and his cherished grandchildren, the source of his pride and joy: Brodin and Brianna Morgan, as well as Bryn, Penelope, and Kai Bouchard.
He also leaves behind his surviving sisters Helene Riabov and Michelle Gonneau, along with his brothers Ron Bouchard and Claude Bouchard. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all who supported Marcel during his final days, with special appreciation for his son-in-law Christopher, whose unwavering assistance brought immense comfort to Marcel.
In accordance with Marcel's wishes, no formal service will be held. Instead of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or Autism Ontario.
