Gerry passed away at the Dawson Creek & District Hospital on February 2nd 2011.

He resided in Bay Tree, Alberta.

Gerry was predeceased by his parents Don & Harriet LeRoux.
He was born in Corner Brook Newfoundland.

Gerry was a loving family man, kind, witty, intelligent, and athletic. Summing it all up in three words, very unique person. A character that can’t be compared to anyone else.

He was a hard working man who worked in Faro, Yukon for approximately 10 years where he earned his Journeyman Millwright ticket. From Faro, Gerry moved to Pouce Coupe, British Columbia and then to Bay Tree, Alberta where he sub-contracted for Gerry’s Well Services for 29 years.

Some of Gerry’s accomplishments include being a member and one of the founders of the Lion’s Club in Pouce Coupe. Gerry was also an alderman there, his portfolio being recreation. Gerry was very active in the community. Over the years he coached kids as well as adults in hockey, baseball, and soccer. Gerry was a very busy man.
His favorite hockey team was the Toronto Maple Leafs and no matter what he always remained their fan. Don’t be surprised if they do much better from now on!

Gerry also enjoyed rebuilding old cars.

He had the opportunity to go on a trip to Newfoundland, via boat, with his brothers, Don, & Ralph and good friend Ray. The journey was an adventure needless to say and his brothers had a chance to bond with him and really get to know what a special and unique man he was.

Anyone that knew Gerry felt good; he made you feel that way, because you were important and special to him.

A celebration of Gerry’s life was held on February 8, 2011 at 2:00 pm at the Bergeron Funeral Chapel, Dawson Creek, British Columbia.
Gerry will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by his family: wife Doris, children Barbara, Jason (Pam), Randy (Shelane); his grandchildren, Daniel, Brock, Kyle, Terry, Michael, Jack, Harlie, Carter and Nolan; his brothers, sisters, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, numerous nieces and nephews, extended family and close friends will share many stories, laughter and a few tears regarding Gerry LeRoux for a very long time.

Gerry had a wit that was endearing, a smile that was contagious, an honesty that is indescribable and a love that was sincere.  

Donations can be made in his name to the Canadian Cancer Society, The University of Alberta Hospital, The Heart and Stroke Foundation, The Stollery Children’s Hospital or the charity of your choice.
