It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pierre on December 23rd, 2025. He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years Joyce (Carbray), his loving children David and Tanya, and his granddaughter Madison.

Pierre served his country for 36 years joining the Chaudière Regt at the age of 15 as a reservist. At 17, in May 1963, he joined the RCAF as an administrative clerk and served at Air Defense Command HQ in St-Hubert Qc, ETFC at RCAF Base St-Jean Qc, Collège militaire royal de St-Jean and CFRC In Québec City. In 1975, he was selected to enter a 3 year academic program (UTPUM) at Laval University.

Upon graduation, he was posted to CFB St-Hubert, promoted to Lt and became a Logistics Finance officer. Shortly after his promotion to Capt, he was posted to a staff officer position at FMCHQ before crossing the pond in June 1985 and serving for 3 years at CFEHQ in Lahr, Germany. Pierre was promoted in 1985 and posted to CFB Edmonton to fill the position of Base Comptroller where he served for 4 years. During his tenure as BCompt, he was appointed as the “Honorary” Aide-de-Camp to the Lt-Governor of Alberta. He finished his military career at DNPFS NDHQ Ottawa in 1997 and went on to work at CFPSA as Director Corporate Informatics until 2004.

A private burial in the National Military Cemetery of Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, will take place.
