He was predeceased by his parents, Jean-Baptiste Preteau and Valerie Gauthier, his sister Lorette Courcelles and his brother Aubert Preteau. Fabien is lovingly remembered by his wife of 46 years, Bernice; and his six children, Gerald (Cathie) Preteau, Marcel Preteau, Eugene (DeeDee) Preteau, Diane Preteau, Nicole (Marc) Chartier, and Carol Preteau. He will also be missed by his 14 grandchildren, Nancy, Adam, Ciara, Jason, Ben, Curtis, Richard, Amanda, Jean Patrick, Alan, Cory, Ardan, Paul, and Leanne.
