Cy J. Desrosiers, 38, of Woonsocket, RI, passed away on September 14, 2024. Born on July 13, 1986, in Attleboro, MA, he was a cherished son to Joseph and Sheila Desrosiers. Cy grew up in North Attleborough, MA and was known for his love of all kinds of critters, especially his beloved dogs.
Cy is a 2005 graduate from Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School in Franklin, MA. He was a car enthusiast so it is not surprising his career spanned various roles mostly in the automotive industry including auto body specialist, salesman, and finance manager showcasing his many talents and versatility. Outside of work, Cy was a passionate angler, often found fishing in his spare time, a hobby that brought him immense peace and joy.
He is survived by a loving family: parents Joseph and Sheila Desrosiers; sister Sheena (Carl) McLaughlin; brothers Kyle (Eileen) and Aidan (Courtney) Desrosiers; grandmother Shirley H. Semple; and his cherished nieces and nephews-Sheldyn, Dillan, Kaelyn, Gavin, Logan, Owen, Sutton, Keegan, Boden, and Finley. Cy is also fondly remembered by his many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Cy was preceded in death by his grandparents Alfred and Rita Desrosiers, and William Semple; his cherished uncles Robert Desrosiers and Norman (Roger) Desrosiers; and his brother West Pierce.
Family and friends will celebrate Cy's life with private observances in Massachusetts and North Carolina, honoring a man who deeply touched the lives of those around him. Cy's and his fiery spirit, heart of gold, and love for nature, will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Cy's memory to the Providence Animal Rescue League (PARL).

Freshman year of highschool with his bleached blonde hair he looked like Eminem so that became his nickname from me. My heart aches with the deepest condolences.

I first met him a year and I have to go during a terrible time in life. Barely knowing me he offered me shower dinner and at least for the night so I could get back home in the morning and have a more clever had an idea of what I needed to do. God knows that we bicker like siblings when we work together on a framing job or just say the least screaming at the top of our lungs at each other because of miscommunication. He may have drove me up the wall insane all the time but he had the biggest heart I´ve ever known. I´m doing a double shot of crown peach for you. May you rest in peace Butthead.
