It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Hector Joseph Patrick LeLievre on August 9, 2024 at the age of 84. Beloved husband to Betty and father to Cheryl Ann (Ron), Marcella (Mark), Robert (Ann Marie) Sheldon (Laura) and Jeannita (Kevin).
Pépère was so proud of his grandchildren Kayla (Matt), Corey, Melissa (Chris), Brendan (Alex), Ryan (Brianna), Riley (Aaron), Ashley, Alexander, Keith, Dale (Tara), Nicole, Julie, Blayre (Ryan), Brent (Erin) and great-grand-son Noah.
He is also survived by his brothers Réné (Marie), Maurice, sister Joséphine (Léandre), niece and nephews.
Dad played such an important role in athletics and community groups in Chéticamp. Along with coaching countless local teams, Dad served on the first board of the community arena and golf course. He was president, coach and referee for the local minor hockey association. He was also the founding member of the Kinsman club of Chéticamp and the Chéticamp Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps.
Dad was forever an avid Montréal Canadiens fan. He had the collection of hats and memorabilia to prove it. He also became an avid puzzlemaker during his last few years.
Our family would like to thank all those who helped with dad’s care, Dr. Ritter and the palliative care team, Dr. Michel Chiasson and his staff as well as Alec MacNeil at Family Medical. Also a sincere thank you to our friends and other family members for providing support during this difficult time.
A heartfelt thank you to Donna and Kerry for always being there for mom and dad.
Dad was predeceased by his father Marcellin LeLievre, his mother Jeanette LeFort, step-father Dennis LeFort, brothers, Adrien and Marcel along with great-grand son Lucas.
At Dad’s request there will be no funeral. A private family graveside service will take place at a later date.
We will forever remember his great sense of humour and quick wit. We will miss him dearly. Love you Dad.
Condolences
Betty,sorry to hear about Hector’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Played softball against Hector in the 1970’s (Olands) when i played for the Moine. A FRIENDLY, COMPETITIVE, LITTLE GENTLEMAN he was. He umpired many ball games when i pitched. Rest peacefully buddy!
Our deepest sympathies to Betty and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Hector was a great guy. Sending big hugs to Betty.
To Betty and family, sincere condolences. We have all lost a good friend and wonderful human being. Hector was my teacher, my hockey and softball coach through high school. Most of all he was someone that in my youth I could go to and talk when life threw me “curveballs”. He was always there for me and others as we tried to understand what growing up was about.
As I grew older Hector never failed to lead by example. Whether teaching tolerance while just playing ball with O’lands softball team, he never criticized or singled you out when mistakes were made…….even when those mistakes had nothing to do with playing ball. I could go on with stories of what he meant to me. However why don’t I just say it,”I am a better person because Hector LeLievre still is and always will be in my life”.
A la prochaine Hector
