My buddy Steph has finally surrendered to his two and a half year struggle with brain cancer. He'd beaten incredible odds, but his battle is now over. Just a few days shy of 53. Rest easy Marine, your fight is over. We now continue the battle for you.
http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2018/05/12/b89ab7a09c/marcotte-stephaneAt the Sainte-Catherine hospital, on May 4, 2018, at the age of 52 years and 11 months, after a long struggle with brain cancer, Stéphane Marcotte, spouse of Catherine Gervais, has passed away.
In addition to his beloved spouse, he is survived by his parents Micheline Lefebvre and Camille Marcotte, as well as many uncles, aunts and cousins who have always loved him.
Stéphane gave his body to science because of the rarity of his cancer, which will be sent to McGill University.
As there will be no funeral ceremony, a future celebration of life by invitation is planned this summer with his parents in his honour.
Highly appreciated by his employer Capella (Incospec) since 2001, he also furnished his leisure Star Trek and Star Wars, a "trekkie" of the highest calibre and ironically his last day was May the Fourth.
We would like to thank all the health care professionals who have accompanied him over two years in his journey, nurses, beneficiary attendants, neurosurgeon, radiation oncologist, doctors, auxiliaries, maintenance workers of all kinds and others.
Donations to his memory can be made at the Quebec Cancer Foundation and the Anna Laberge and Charles Lemoyne Hospital Foundations.
