It is with great pain in our hearts that we must announce the sudden death of
Chad Joseph McQuade. Chad was born and raised in Medford, New Brunswick. He attended the University of New Brunswick and graduated from the Silvicultural Program in 1998. Chad retained a full time Foresters position with Tembec upon graduation. Soon after, through dedication and hard work, Chad became designated as a Registered Professional Forester in Ontario.

In 2001 Chad married Francine, his best friend and soul mate and in 2003 their daughter, Emma, was born adding more sunshine to his life. Chad loved life and everything about it especially spending time with family and friends. His passions were cooking with Emma, fishing, hunting, camping and gardening.

He enjoyed his work at Tembec and loved working with his co-workers who were also his best friends and extended family.

Chad will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Francine; his daughter Emma; his faithful four-footed companion, Mandy; his beloved parents, Ann and Jerry McQuade; two sisters: Sherry Wright (Shawn) and Michelle Williams (Troy); his nephew, Cole; two nieces: Ciara and Mya; as well as his grandparents, Phyllis and Arthur McLaughlin all of New Brunswick. He will also be missed by many aunts, uncles, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and cousins.

Chad will be resting at the Guenette Funeral Home on Tuesday from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, November 9th at 10:30 a.m. at St. Patrick's church with Father Hervé Sauvé officiating.

As expression of sympathy, donations to an animal rescue program of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
