JEAN PAUL BERARD After a long courageous battle with cancer, Jean Paul passed away peacefully with family by his side, on March 23, 2016 at the age of 64.

He will also be cherished by his grandchildren, Dylan, Danica, Monica, Aymee, Ayden and Russ.

Numerous nieces, nephews and extended family and friends were also so blessed to have known him. Jean Paul was born in Morris, where he and his wife Diane raised their family. Jean Paul's faith, strength and courage touched the lives of many people, even through all that he endured. We can't thank enough all of the wonderful staff at Riverview Health Center who went beyond the call in caring for dad. The care, love and support they gave us was so appreciated.

  • Diane I am very sorry for you loss and I am truly saddened with the thought of not having JP in our lives . JP always had a kind word for everyone. I truly enjoyed all of my years working with him in the workshop . He taught me a lot about the trade but most of all he always demonstrated how to be a good person to model after. I will miss having him as a mentor and a friend . It was wonderful to have had lunch with him and Paul just before Christmas. But my life was and is better have had JP as part of it.

  • Being neighbors on a farm about 2 miles away from uncle Albert & auntie Solange in Ste-Elizabeth, we have many happy memories of J-P, as well as the many siblings he shared his life with. My dad let me drive in the fields when I was very young. I don't quite remember how it happened but I backed up in J-P's vehicle (probably shifted in Reverse by accident). Sorry J-P! I did mention it once and he laughed about it. We will miss you. Our deepest sympathies to you, Diane, and your children. - Posted by: Michelle & Roger Gratton (J-P's cousin on moms' side (Fillion)) on: Mar 31, 2016
