JEAN-JACQUES’s family

The people he loved and who loved him back

His daughter Mélissa

Mélissa is an unique person and an adventurer. When she was little, she dreamed about becoming a lawyer. At only 21 years old, she was hired at a major law firm in Montréal. Many people think that she got her sense of justice from Jean-Jacques, but he always answered she developed that quality on her own.


Last year, she gave birth to her first child, Océane. Our grand-daughter is our ray of sunshine. Her big, curious eyes make us literally melt.


He was so proud of his daughter and everything she has accomplished so far.

My brother Jean-Jacques

Jean-Jacques was not just my brother; he was my best friend. I don’t know how many times I was able to count on him when I was going through some tough spells. It’s hard for me to describe how important he was for me and my partner, Diane. I am nevertheless going to keep a few secrets about everything he did for me.


A few years before he passed away, Jean-Jacques retired after having spent decades helping other people. He developed new hobbies, including gardening. I was so happy that he was able to die peacefully.

No amount of money or success can take the place of time spent with your family.
