SAINT-LOUIS-DE-KENT, NB - It is with deep sadness that the family of Ernest Daigle, 93, of Saint-Louis-de-Kent, announces his passing on Friday, June 19, 2026. Born in Saint-Louis-de-Kent, he was the son of the late Albert Daigle and the late Mina (Gray) Daigle.

Ernest worked for Chrysler Plymouth in Saint-Louis then later moved on to the Bouctouche Chrysler where he worked for much of his life. He remained at home with his parents and devoted himself to caring for them until their passing.

Ernest had a great love for dancing and earned a Bronze Certificate in dance. He was also a talented musician who especially enjoyed playing the guitar.

As a devoted parishioner of Saint-Louis, Ernest served as a lecturer and was also a minister of Communion. Ernest faithfully brought Communion to the sick in their homes on behalf of the Congregation of Notre-Dame. He was deeply devoted to the upkeep of the grotte. He was also the person everyone turned to for keeping in touch with our cousins and relatives who lived far away.

Rest in peace, Ernest.
