Marcel Michaud (1962-2024)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Marcel Michaud, beloved husband of Mrs. Sonia Pagé, and devoted father to Gabriel Michaud and Paul Michaud (Marilyn Carpi). Marcel was a resident of Lac-Drolet, located in the Granit Regional County Municipality in Estrie, Quebec. He was originally from Québec City and spent his formative years in Bas-Saint-Laurent.

Marcel played an active role with the Ceremonial Guard during the summers of 2018 and 2019, serving as Company Sergeant-Major. He also conducted  two Rifle Section Commander courses during the COVID-19 pandemic and was revered as the Drill Sergeant before his retirement at the age of 60.

Marcel Michaud passed away in Lac-Mégantic on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at the age of 62 years and 6 months.
