It is with deep sorrow that the family of Marc Lalonde announces his sudden passing after a brief battle with cancer. Predeceased by his sister, Micheline (Joe), and brothers, Guy (Pauline) and Yves (Jo), he leaves behind his wife, Beverly Gillis, sons, Michael (Paloma), and Benjamin, sisters Claudette (Bill) and Marie (John), and a joyfully large number of nieces and nephews and their many children.<\/p>\n
Marc had four passions in his life: the Montreal Canadiens, playing guitar, his work and, above all, his family. He passed on his work ethic and his love of hockey and music to his sons. He was exceedingly proud of them.<\/p>\n
When Marc began a BA program at Queen\u2019s University in Kingston, Ontario, he immediately set a goal to teach at the university level. He did not yet recognize his academic ability but liked to dream big. He thrived on challenge and leaned into his studies at Concordia University where he earned an MA and PhD, then began teaching. Lecturing and publishing, when time allowed, he found great pleasure and kinship in his work in Concordia\u2019s department of Religions and Cultures.<\/p>\n
He will be dearly missed.<\/p>\n
A visitation will be held at J.C. Cardinal Funeral Home, 560 chem. du Bord-du-Lac-Lakeshore, Dorval on January 16 (2\u20135 pm and 7-9 pm), followed by a Celebration of Life ceremony at Sarto-Desnoyers Community Center, 1335 chem. du Bord-du-Lac-Lakeshore, Dorval on January 17 at 12 pm.<\/p>\n
In lieu of flowers, consider donating to one of the organizations Marc supported; Welcome Hall Mission and CNIB Guide Dogs.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est avec une profonde tristesse que la famille de Marc Lalonde annonce son d\u00e9c\u00e8s soudain apr\u00e8s une br\u00e8ve bataille contre le cancer. Pr\u00e9d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 par sa s\u0153ur Micheline (Joe) et ses fr\u00e8res Guy (Pauline) et Yves (Jo), il laisse dans le deuil son \u00e9pouse Beverly Gillis, ses fils Michael (Paloma) et Benjamin, ses s\u0153urs Claudette (Bill) et Marie (John), ainsi qu\u2019un nombre joyeusement important de neveux et ni\u00e8ces et leurs nombreux enfants.<\/p>\n
Marc avait quatre passions dans sa vie : les Canadiens de Montr\u00e9al, la guitare, son travail et, par-dessus tout, sa famille. Il a transmis \u00e0 ses fils son \u00e9thique du travail, et son amour du hockey et de la musique. Il \u00e9tait extr\u00eamement fier d\u2019eux.<\/p>\n
Lorsque Marc a commenc\u00e9 un programme de licence \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 Queen\u2019s de Kingston, en Ontario, il s\u2019est imm\u00e9diatement fix\u00e9 comme objectif d\u2019enseigner au niveau universitaire. Il n\u2019\u00e9tait pas encore conscient de ses capacit\u00e9s acad\u00e9miques, mais il aimait r\u00eaver en grand. Il aimait les d\u00e9fis et s\u2019est investi dans ses \u00e9tudes \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Concordia, o\u00f9 il a obtenu une ma\u00eetrise et un doctorat, puis commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 enseigner. Lorsqu\u2019il en avait le temps, il donnait des conf\u00e9rences et publiait des ouvrages. Son travail au d\u00e9partement des religions et des cultures de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Concordia lui procurait un grand plaisir et lui permettait d\u2019\u00e9tablir des liens de parent\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Il nous manquera beaucoup.<\/p>\n
