Adrien Desroches

Tuesday, February 17th in the evening at the Stella Maris Hospital in St-Anne de Kent, Adrien Desroches passed away at the age of 88, husband of Jeannette Richard of St-Louis de Kent, NB. He was the son of the late Phillias Desroches and the late Apolline Daigle of St-Louis.

 He will be sadly missed by his two sons; Paul (Claire Bilodeau) of Boucherville, QC. And Guy (Despina Kourakos) of Moncton, NB, four grandchildren; Ghislain (Rosanne Bédard), Jolyne (Dhany Darbik) of Ontario, Sylvie and Jean-François of Quebec, Guy’s step-son (Basil Kourakos), and two great grandkids; Aidan and Paige Drabik.

Before retiring, Adrien was a delivery man for the Mother’s Own Bakery. During his retirement he ventured into the Christmas tree business as a grower. Adrien with his jovial nature made a lot of friends through the years. He was a gentle an attentive husband, a great father who was proud of his family, an affectionate grandfather, a generous and helping uncle. His memory will always live in our hearts.

The family would like to sincerely thank Dr. Eric Martin, the staff of the Stella Maris Hospital, and the extra mural nurses for their care and professionalism.
