It is with the greatest sadness that the family of André Busque announce his passing at the age of 73 years from a short and courageous battle with cancer.
André was born and raised in Beauceville, Quebec. He left home at an early age to follow his love of logging. He later started his own logging company “Ti-Bus Logging” and was well known in the logging industry. Those who knew him knew his love of sport fishing with his wife, who he introduced to the sport. André also loved all his fur babies that his wife kept adopting. Always complaining, but forming bonds with them and spoiling them rotten.
Left behind is his loving wife Marie, son Paul (Deb), stepdaughter Samantha (Josh) Todish, four grandchildren Cole, Lucy, Emerson and Abigail. He is also survived by nine sisters Eugette, Gilberte, Marie Blanc, Giselle (Robert), Adrianne (Reginald), Lucille (Laurent), Celine (Even), Cecile (Nelson) and Lise (Rodique), three sisters-in-law Lynda (Mike), Carole (Donald) and Aline, mother-in-law Claire Fecteau and numerous other relatives.
Predeceased by his parents Henri and Desneiges, brother Paul and numerous
relatives.
As per his wishes, he has been cremated and interment will take place at a later date.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Andre. When I first started working in the bush in Armstrong I had Andre working for my as a cut and skid operator. Then later in my career I worked with Andre again. What a genuinely nice man and a very hard worker. Condolences to Marie and the family

Dear Marie and family
I will miss seeing your furry little ones taking you two for a walk or sometimes a stroller outing. Peace be with you.
