It is with sadness that we announce the death of Maurice "Gerry" Gerald Gagne which occurred on Thursday, April 28, 2016 at the Saint John Regional Hospital, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on July 6, 1949, a son of Dorothy (Downey) and the late Maurice Gagne. Gerry leaves behind his beloved partner Wendy Martin of Springfield, NB; daughter Nadine (Brad Underwood) of Oromocto, NB; granddaughter Abbygail; as well as several brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. Gerry spent his life serving our country with the Canadian Military. During his time of service he spent time abroad and was a dedicated soldier. He was a dignified gentlemen and was able to stay in the comfort of his home, with the care of his partner, while remaining strong throughout his journey with cancer. Although a quiet soul, a great smile could be found on his face as the weather improved and it was time to get out for a drive in his "red-headed girlfriend"; a flashy red sports car he had bought in Germany as a young man. He spent more than forty years researching, tinkering, and perfecting it. Gerry was rarely seen anywhere on a Sunday as he was also passionate about Nascar and would rarely miss a race. Arrangements have been entrusted to Sherwood’s Funeral Home and Life Tribute Centre (506-839-2156), 18 Scovil Road, Norton, NB. A private celebration of Gerry’s life will take place at a later time. Donations in memory of Gerry may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the memorial of the donor’s choice.
