In loving memory ~
Jacques Joseph Léger, 92, passed away peacefully in Nanaimo, B.C., on February 20, 2025. Predeceased by his beloved wife Audrey (née Cartan), father of Joseph, Marc (Kim Cunningham), Michael (Sylvie St-Louis) and Louise; grandpa to Emilie, Jonathan and Maisie, and great-grandpa to baby Augustin.
Jacques was born in Montreal and spent part of his childhood there, later moving with his family to North Toronto. He headed back to Montreal to study business at Loyola College (now Concordia), where he met Audrey, his future bride. The two soon settled down to raise a family in Montreal. Jacques was a keen businessman who was involved in the early days of computer technologies. Later in his career, Jacques' job lured him to Vancouver, and he and Audrey ultimately retired in Nanaimo. Jacques loved Vancouver Island and was a keen golfer and a devoted Toronto Blue Jays fan. Jacques and Audrey relished trips to Australia, New Zealand, California and France.
Jacques enjoyed good health and stayed active up to the last couple of years. Jacques' ashes will be buried with Audrey's in Toronto at a later date. If desired, memorial donations in his name may be made to Jacques' favourite charity, Jays Care Foundation.
