It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph Antonio Elric Gagnon, 98, surrounded by family, on Saturday, September 19th, 2026, at the Faubourg du Mascaret in Moncton.
Born in Dupuis Corner, he was the son of the late Albénie and the late Sophie Gagnon (Thériault).
Joseph will be sadly missed by his children: Claire Gagnon of Moncton, Louise Gagnon of Dieppe, Michel Gagnon (Gwenaëlle) of Toronto, and Julie Gagnon (Patrick) of Moncton; his grandchildren: Etienne (Raphaëlle), Astrée, Jasmine (Adam), and Antoine; his great grandchildren: Léa, Maylis, and Frédérique; his brothers: Merville Gagnon of Laval, Quebec, and Jean-Guy Gagnon (Noëlla) of Moncton; his sister-in-law, Corinne; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Jocelyne; as well as his siblings: Aquila (late Jeanne), Arsène, Zacharie (late Rita), Paul-Eugène, Alcide (late Aurore), and Camilla (late Guy).
Joseph began his professional career as a teacher in Saint-Antoine and Bouctouche before pursuing his calling in medicine. He went on to serve as a family doctor in Saint-Antoine and Shediac before becoming a pathologist at The Moncton Hospital. Outside of his professional life, Joseph had a love for reading, and lately, drawing and painting allowed him to express his creativity.

Throughout the years, he devoted himself to caring for many members of his family, always offering his knowledge, compassion, and support whenever they were needed.

Nos sinceres sympathies.
I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Gagnon’s passing. He was my neighbor for many years (more than 40!) and I babysat his children. He was such a gentle, kind and caring person and I still refer to his former home as Dr. Gagnon’s house! Sending heartfelt condolences and hugs to Claire, Louise, Michel and Julie and their families, He will live on in your hearts and memories.
Dr. Gagnon was our family doctor when I was very young. In later years, I had the pleasure of working with him at The Moncton Hospital Laboratory. He was kind, deducated and unfailingly cheerful. As a pathologist, and lab director he was supportive and encouraging to his staff. He will forever be remembered with great fondness by those of us who worked with him. My sincere sympathy to the family.
I worked in the lab office for 30 years. Dr gagnon was a wonderful person to work for. I really liked him a lot.
A Jean-Guy et Noella,toutes nos pensées sincères sont avec vous a la perte de cet être cher
