Obituary of Joseph A. Doiron

It is with deeply saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph (Joe) A. Doiron at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on November 2, 2025. Joe was born in Senneterre, QC, on January 4, 1939, the son of the late Anna (LeBouthillier) and Pierre Doiron.

Joe will be profoundly missed by his beloved wife of 64 years, Ronnie (Robichaud) Doiron; daughter Michele Richardson (Troy); and sons Andre (Tina) and Rene (Nadine). He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, affectionately known as Papa. His cherished grandchildren are Kristin Doiron Casey (Ryan), Lauren Stokes (Cody), Megan Wood (Michael), Kari Olsen (Dylan), Andrew Doiron, Matthew Doiron (Jordan), Nicholas Richardson (Olivia), and Joseph Richardson (Claudia). He was also the proud great-Papa of Grace, Addison, Everett, Joey, Liam, Amelia, Emma, Eleanor, Noah, and Georgia.

Joe is survived by his sisters, Shirley, Patricia, Yvonne, Gloria, & Gisele and brother, Michael; and was predeceased by his sister, Aline.

A professional engineer, Joe made a lasting impact on those he worked with at the New Brunswick Power Commission, where he served with dedication until his retirement in 1994. In retirement, Joe embraced life fully focusing on family, mentoring others, and being a steadfast role model to his growing extended family. Joe was a thinker, a builder, and a teacher whose presence touched many lives. He loved golfing, hunting, fishing, and loved to travel. He was devoted to his family and an inspiration to all who knew him. He will be dearly missed…

In Joe’s own words to the family he loved so deeply — “J’TAIME”.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the caring staff at Medley Hall, who provided Joe with a warm and supportive home over the past year and a half, and to the compassionate team at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital for their exceptional care during his final days.

A service in Joe’s memory will take place at McAdam’s Funeral Home, J.A. McAdam Memorial Chapel, on Thursday, November 6^th, 2025 at 1:00 p.m., with Fr. John Jennings and Fr. Brian Murphy as celebrants. A reception will follow the service. For those unable to attend, the celebration will be live-streamed at the following link: https://vimeo.com/event/5495604?fl=so&fe=fs. A private family interment will be held at the Hermitage Catholic Cemetery at a later date.
