Daniel Aucoin

Age 77, Grand Etang passed away on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at Sacred Heart Community Health Centre, Cheticamp. Daniel was a son to the late Wilfred and the late Catherine AuCoin.

Although quiet in nature, Daniel made an impression on all who got to know him. As a father, he always made time for his sons, whether it was throwing a baseball or going fishing. It made him very happy to be able to experience that with his grandchildren as well. He may have been a welder by trade, but spent a good part of his life as a fisherman, mostly lobster, crab and even tuna. After his retirement, he loved having the opportunity to volunteer at the church with his special friend, Dora. Daniel will be remembered as being a caring father, grandfather, and friend. He will be greatly missed.

Daniel is survived by his son, Brent AuCoin (Julia); his brothers, Leonard AuCoin (late Patsy), Alphonse AuCoin (Kay), and Henri AuCoin (Yvonne); and grandchildren, Jaylon AuCoin, Owen AuCoin, Quinn AuCoin, and Isla AuCoin.

Besides his parents, Daniel was predeceased by his son, Dwayne AuCoin (Kim); Special Friend, Dora Delaney; sisters, Odette Delaney (late Wilfred) and Marie-Anne Arsenault (late Jean-Paul).

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 from 9:30 am until time of funeral service at 10:30 am in St. Joseph’s Church, St. Joseph du Moine with Deacon Gerald LeBlanc officiating.
