Marcel. I remember the first time you came to our home. You were a true gentleman. I made you your favorite meal as Krista told me what you liked to eat. You were always the first one to do the dishes. After you met us you called us mom and dad. Bye bye dear son. Be happy. Sending much love till we meet again.

My uncle Marcel was definitely a role model when I was growing up. He got me into working out, eating right, and modeled a hard work ethic. One time he came home from the military and he was inside my house. When I opened the door, he grabbed me by the "scruff of my neck" and pulled me down the gravel driveway on my back. This was his way of showing me love and compassion, lol. I'm glad I saw him with Krista last year in Nanaimo. He will be deeply missed. I hope you are resting in peace uncle. Much love.

Your smile on this photo is how I remember you and it was always fun to be around you. You'll be missed Marcel. My thoughts to Karen, his childrend and family.

My condolences to you Krista and your family. Will be thinking of you.

Marcel was the best mwd hand I have ever had to work with,we would always help him carry over his mwd tool then after he would go into his shack and grab us a drink and we would have a smoke outside with him and have a good laugh,he always brought goodies to the rig to which was good and bad at the same time because the everyone needed to lose weight so wasn't helping the diet to well lol,I always say remember the good times always and forever,he might be gone but never forgotten,rest easy my friend and I will see you again,my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends

Krista and family-we are so sorry for your loss,our deepest condolences to you all.

Marcel was one of the true leaders of his generation, I always admired how his dominating presence would inspire teamwork even in the most demanding miserable situations. I recall watching him come out of the field exhausted and hurting from the rigours of deployment but yet that easy smile and soft spoken manner was always part of who he was, no matter how tough it got. A true gentleman soldier, leader of men, loving partner and fatherone of the best.

Served with Marcel in 1 Sigs Calgary, and while I wasn't in his troop, I do know the troops under him loved him. Incredible soldier, incredible man taken to soon. Sincere condolences to the family.

Bre, Kailey and Zach have lost a great Dad.. So sorry!

Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. We are all so sorry to hear of Marcel's passing.

RIP old friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time.
You will be missed.

Sarge you may be gone but you will not be forgotten. I have many fond memories of our time together and truely appreciate the time and effort you made while mentoring me in my career and life choices. Good bye for now.

To family and friends of Marcel, please accept my sincere condolences. Marcel and I were young Corporals together in the 80s. I will always remember him as a great soldier and, more importantly, as a great friend who would go out of his way to help anyone in need. You have lost a son , a husband and a father. All of us who have worn a uniform for our nation have lost a brother. He will be missed but he will always be remembered by us. RIP Brother.

I served with marcel in the signal regiment and we did a course together. He was a great guy and really brought smiles to people's faces when they were needed. RIP brother
