Jean-Claude Joseph Phillipe Bastien

In Loving Memory of Jean-Claude Joseph Phillipe Bastien

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jean-Claude Joseph Phillipe Bastien, at the age of 88.

Jean-Claude was the 8th of 10 children born to Jean-Emile Bastien and Eunice Bastien (nee Proteau) in the Town of Royal Roussillon. Jean-Claude lived a life enriched by diverse experiences and interests. He briefly served as an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) before spending many years working overseas, where he continued to build a life shaped by his experiences and travels.

Outside of his professional life, Jean-Claude found joy in the simple pleasures that brought him happiness, including playing golf, strumming his guitar, and tending to his garden. These cherished pastimes reflected his many interests and the moments he enjoyed throughout his life.

Jean-Claude leaves behind his beloved wife of 67 yrs, Mary Ann Bastien (née Doheney), and his loving children; Anne Hendry (Steve Hendry), Charles Bastien, William Bastien (Judy Pan), and Jean-Claude Jr. Bastien (Brigitte Turgeon).

He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren, David Hendry, Joel Hendry, Kristen Hendry, Liam Bastien, and Catelyn Bastien, as well as his cherished great-grandchildren, Eleanor Jane, Ryan Cameron, Mira Rose, and Raeya Mae Hendry, who will carry his memory forward for generations to come.

He is also survived by his beloved sister, Muguette Martel (nee Bastien), and many nieces and nephews, who will cherish his memory and remember him with love.

Jean-Claude's life journey spanned 88 years, filled with experiences, work, family, and personal passions. He will be remembered by those who knew and loved him, and his memory will remain in the hearts of his family.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during the viewing on November 4, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at Maison Darche, 7679 Taschereau Boulevard in Brossard.

A Funeral Mass will be held the following morning, November 5, at 11:00 a.m. at Good Shepherd Parish, 7900 avenue Naples, Brossard. This will be followed by a final farewell at Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, reserved for immediate family.

May he rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the memories they shared with him.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Psalm 23:1

Forever loved, forever remembered, forever missed
