We regret to advise of the death of Sergeant Gerald “Jerry” Gagne (Ret'd) of Riverview NB on 5 September 2017, peacefully at the Moncton Hospital at age 78. Jerry served as a Firefighter in the Canadian Forces and with Transport Canada for a total of 47 years.

Jerry was born in Leduc QC and was formerly of Moncton and Saint John. He started his military career as a Navy Air Bos’n 581 in the late 1960s and later joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. His postings included Canadian Forces Base Val-d’Or QC, CFB Greenwood NS and CFB Chatham NB. Jerry joined the Public Service with Transport Canada after he retired from the Canadian Forces and retired as the Fire Chief at the Saint John Airport.

A small gathering for family and friends will be held on 8 September 2017 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at 89 Silverstone Drive, Moncton, to celebrate and honour Jerry's life. Instead of flowers, tributes in Jerry’s memory to the ALS Society would be appreciated by the family.
