Nos plus grandes symapties à toute la famille🌹

He was truly one of a kind who made everyone feel like family. He loved life, loved to laugh, and was always there for the people he cared about. Whether it was goofing around, being the life of the party, or simply showing up when someone needed him, he did it all with kindness and heart.
He was also the kind of person who never hesitated to help — always fixing things, lending a hand, and being a handyman for anyone who needed one. His generosity and willingness to help others were just part of who he was.
He meant so much to our family. I will deeply miss our yearly Buffalo Bills trips, a tradition filled with friendship, laughter, and unforgettable memories. He was there for us without hesitation, offering compassion, strength, and unwavering support when we needed it most. That kindness will never be forgotten.
To Nat, Karina, and Mia, we offer our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. Our hearts are with you as you navigate this unimaginable loss. Please know that you are surrounded by care and support, and that we are holding you close in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
He will be missed by more people than words can say. We are forever grateful to have had him in our lives, and we will always cherish the memories we shared.

Mes sympathies Nat, Karina et Mia. Je n'ai pas les mots pour exprimer la douleur que je ressens pour la perte de mon neveu Bobby. Il était pour nous la famille D'Amour (pépère, Francine et moi-même ainsi que la famille Martel) un grand réconfort, sa générosité envers nous tous nous manquera à jamais. Il restera dans mon cœur pour toujours. Adieu Bobby. Veilles sur nous tous qui t'aimons tant.
