It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Neil Desroches on November 13, 2022 at GBGH-Midland after a battle of Leukemia.
He was predeceased by his wife Lexie of 57 years and brother David. He was survived by his children Wendi (Brett) & Kevin (Ruth) and by his grandchildren Matthew, Robyn (Cory), Jason, Alex (Katie), Brandon (Michelle), Zachary, Jakob and great grandson Abel. Brother to his sisters Bernitta (Alvin), Jeanette (Hubert), Theresa (Jim), Yvonne (Andre) and Anne (Paul). Neil was born in Lafontaine, ON and moved to Toronto where he worked as a Roofer until he retired. They moved back to Penetanguishene in 2007.
Neil always enjoyed his time with family and friends, golfing, bowling and shuffle board. He was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion #68. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, donations can be made to the Cancer Society, GBGH Foundation or RVH Foundation. Please sign the Tribute Wall at www.penetangfuneral.ca
