Gerard E Boudreau
1954 - 2017
We are sad to announce the passing of Gerard
Etienne Boudreau on June 18, 2017 in Phoenix, AZ
after a courageous battle with cancer; his family was
by his side.
Gerard was born on December 26, 1954 in
Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, and lived his young life in
Victoria Mines and New Waterford, Nova Scotia. As
an avid sports fan, he loved hockey, NFL football,
baseball and golf. He played minor league hockey
in Cape Breton then moved to Kimberley to play
Junior B with the Kimberley Knights; he was a
rugged d-man who liked to rough it up. After several
years in Vancouver, Bellingham and Seattle, he met
his soulmate and love of his life, Teri. They were
married in Waikoloa, Hawaii after having moved to
Phoenix, AZ. A mutual passion, they appreciated
music; in the early 90’s Gerard had learned to play
the mandolin and Teri started learning to play the
banjo. Together, they loved bluegrass and country
music; they would travel in their motorhome
enjoying music festivals and camping. Gerard spent
his last years in Phoenix with his wife enjoying the
beautiful sun and bountiful golf.
Gerard is predeceased by his parents, Arthur and
Genevieve Boudreau and his brothers Blaise and
Cyril Boudreau. Gerard leaves to mourn his wife
Teri Boudreau, his step son David Erik Miller and
step daughter Nicole Marie Miller, his brothers
Arthur ( Joanne), Jim (Tara), Wilfred (Vera), Basil,
Teles (Delayne) and Paul Boudreau, sister Lorett e
(Charlie) Campbell and numerous cousins, nieces
and nephews.
Family service will be scheduled for a later date.
