Jerry McGachy

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jerry McGachy, age 71, on April 5, 2025. Jerry was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, known for his kind heart, infectious laugh, and deep love for his family.

Throughout his 71 years, Jerry worked diligently in the printing industry. His hard work and commitment provided for his family and earned him the respect of his colleagues. But beyond his work, he believed in the importance of community. Jerry volunteered with the local softball league, where his enthusiasm and encouragement inspired countless young athletes. He also spent time at the local retirement home, bringing a sense of joy and companionship to those who needed it most.

A true outdoorsman at heart, he cherished his time by the water, often spending hours fishing with his friends and family. He passed down his passions for fishing and music to his children.

Above all, Jerry was devoted to his family. He was a loving husband to his wife Janet, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories. Together, they raised two wonderful children M. (J.) and Laura (Jonathan) whom he was incredibly proud of. He also had the privilege of becoming a grandfather, and his grandchildren brought him immeasurable joy.

A celebration of his life will be held at Salon Funéraire Guay, 146 rue St-Louis, St-Eustache on Sunday, April 20th from 1PM-4PM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Fondation Rivières in Jerry’s honour.

Rest in peace, Jerry. You will forever be in our hearts.
