It is with deep sadness that the family announces the unexpected passing of Michel Albert Falardeau on March 2, 2026.
Michel is the loving son of Cécile Marchand and the late Corbett Falardeau. Is the devoted brother to Denis Falardeau. He will be sadly missed by his aunts, uncles, extended family members, friends, and colleagues.
Michel was known for his steady presence, and the pride he took in his work. During his time at Beechwood Cemetery, he played a meaningful role in the continued development of the National Military Cemetery of Canada, a project that brought him great pride. Contributing to a place that honours those who served meant a great deal to him, and his dedication and care left a lasting mark. Michel’s presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Family and friends are invited to Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, ON) on Monday, March 30th, 2026, from 9:00 am in Beechwood`s Sacred Space, followed by a Memorial Service at 10:00 am. A Reception will follow.
In memory of Michel, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

We had the pleasure of meeting Michel here in Rockland while he was visiting his brother Denis. He helped us with planning our first trip to the beautiful Gaspé area. This beautiful gem is now our “coup de coeur”. Merci Michel for your generosity during the planning of this beautiful trip. When we return to Gaspé, you will always be in our thoughts. I am so happy that you enjoyed my soup as you also mentioned it was better than Denis. Denis didn’t hold this against me by the way. When I visit my dad, and bonus dad in the military cemetery at Beechwood, please send me a sign as I am certain you are planning a beautiful place in heaven until we meet again. Most sincere condolences to your maman, your beloved brother Denis, and les ma tantes. Avec amour your sister from another mother, Lynn et Jack

M’sieur, as he was known to many of us, was a great golf buddy with unmatched humour.

Cher cousin, ton départ laisse un silence immense. Tu faisais partie de ces présences qui réchauffent sans faire de bruit, de celles dont la force et le courage inspirent même dans les moments les plus difficiles. Nous garderons près de nous ton sourire, ta bonté et tous ces petits moments partagés. Tu vas terriblement nous manquer, et ton souvenir restera à jamais dans nos cœurs.
Tante Cécile et Denis,
Que votre cœur trouve un peu de douceur au milieu de cette peine. Que l’amour et les précieux souvenirs de Michel vous apportent la force de traverser cette épreuve, un petit pas à la fois. Nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous et vous offrons nos plus sincères et profondes condoléances.
Tes tantes
Le grand vide que tu laisses sera rempli de doux souvenirs. Nous t' avons vu grandir. Tes gestes de bonté, ton dévouement auprès d`autrui, ton humour taquin ne sont pas passés inaperçus. Tes tantes Simone, Yvonne et Denise qui t`aimeront pour toujours.
Mon frère aimé tu vas me manquer énormément. On voyage. Ton frèrot qui t'aimes. xxx Denis
