CHAGNON, Jean-G Dr, BA DC Chiropraticien 28 août 1946 - 12 octobre 2005 Jean est né à Montréal, fils de feu Alfred Chagnon et feu Yvette Bellemarre. Après une dure bataille de 7 mois contre une tumeur maligne au cerveau, Jean est parti pour son ultime voyage, disant adieu à sa famille: son amie/compagne/épouse depuis 36 ans Denise (Saulnier), son fils Dr Benoît Chagnon et sa belle-fille Dr Carri Drzyzga. Son départ prématuré d'une vie bien remplie a laissé un grand vide pour plusieurs: Sa soeur Lise (Leonard Houghton) St-Sauveur Qc, leurs fils Gary (Suzanne Gauthier), petites-nièces Vanessa et Audrey, St-Hubert Qc, Brian (Claude Grenier) Montréal, Peter (Elise Beauchesne), petit-neveux James et Todd, Kirkland Qc.

Gradué du Collège Ste-Croix, 32e promotion (1959-1967), il a poursuivi ses études chiropratiques à Toronto pour ensuite devenir le premier chiropraticien à s'établir à l'est d'Ottawa, (Orléans) en 1974. Des milliers ont eu recourt à ses services au cours de 31 dernières années. Sa famille chiropratique est en grand deuil. Jean apportait souvent des fleurs à la maison. Il aimait également partager un bon repas et une bonne bouteille avec parents et amis. Son amour des voyages est légendaire. En ce moment, plutôt que de lui envoyer des fleurs, faites-en cadeau à quelqu'un. Partagez un souper et levez votre verre à sa mémoire. Pensez à lui lors de votre prochain voyage. Jean serait également fier de vous si vous preniez le temps de faire un don à un organisme qui vous est cher.

His early departure from a full life has left a great void in the lives of many: his sister Lise (Leonard Houghton) St-Sauveur QC; their sons Gary (Suzanne Gauthier), grand-nieces Vanessa and Audrey, St-Hubert QC; Brian (Claude Grenier) Montreal QC, Peter (Elise Beauchesne), grand- nephews James and Todd, Kirkland QC. His in-laws, the Saulnier Family: Jean-Claude (Helene Lauzon) Mascouche QC, Diane (Jocelyn Lapierre) Aylmer QC, Jean-Paul (Linda Levac) Repentigny QC, Jean-Guy (Johanne Joly) Old Montreal QC, pre-deceased Jean-Yves (Ginette Gentilcore) Repentigny QC. Nephews and nieces: Chantal, Michel, Gabrielle, Jean-Marc, Amelie, Marie-Claude, Melissa, Jasmine, Evelyne, Viviane and Laurent. Also part of the family, grand-dogs, Bailey and Sadie. Also deeply touched with the loss, long time and dearest friends Jocelyne and Fernand Larose, their daughter Catherine, Gatineau QC, very close friends Madeleine and Claude Soucy, Judy and Alain Dubuc, of Ottawa. Without their help, these difficult last months would have been unbearable. His chiropractic family also feels a deep sense of loss. He was the first chiropractor to open an office in the East-End of Ottawa over 31 years ago. Thousands have sought his care. His loyal staff, Claire Champagne (30 years), Carole Carriere and Nathalie Joly (13 years), Denyse Bergeron, (3 years), Isabelle Camire (1 year), as well as long time associate chiropractor Dr. Nicole Lalonde (20 years), will miss him greatly. A very special thank you to Dr. Pierre L'Heureux and his staff; Dr. Yves Lefebvre; the CCAC, Beausejour Pharmacy and Pharmacie Larose for always being there in our time of need. Jean loved to bring home flowers, and did so regularly. He enjoyed a good meal along with a good bottle of wine shared with friends and family. His fondness of travel was also well known. So, we ask at this time, to not send flowers. Instead, bring some home to enjoy or send some to a loved one. Raise a glass in his memory and remember him during your next trip. You would also make him very proud if you made a donation to an organization that is dear to your heart. You can join us and share your memories of Jean at the Heritage Funeral Home, 2871 St. Joseph Blvd., Orleans, on Saturday, October 15, from 1-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. and on Sunday from 1-4 p.m. A service will be held at the St-Joseph Church, 2757 St. Joseph Blvd., Orleans on Monday, October 17, 2005 at 11 a.m. Condolences and donations may be made at: www.heritagefh.ca HERITAGE FUNERAL HOME (613) 830-2305 Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 10/14/2005 - 10/15/2005
