Jacques was a very hard working husband, father, and grandfather who would spend hours working hard on the farm, no matter the weather condition, to take care of his family. He was a very quiet, soft spoken, and introverted person who always had a friendly smile on his face. Calmness and peace were something that he preferred most in the world, as he always said: “I rather be hungry but calm and in peace, than having a full stomach but consistently in conflict with others”.
Jacques was a strong believer in God who constantly went to early service at the Catholic church. Throughout the times of his fight with illness, he never surrendered his faith. As he was laying on the bed, his last request was a special prayer of forgiveness and welcoming in the kingdom of the Almighty God. He will be missed by his family, friends, and everyone who knew him.
REST IN PEACE JACQUES BESSARD
