H. Decancq Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Anthony Funeral & Cremation Chapels - Brighton/Rochester Chapel on Nov. 26, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

November 25, 2025 at the age of 98. Survived by his wife, Agatha Ida Decancq; children, Lisa (Steven) Young, Paul (Yvette) Decancq, Leslie (Brad) Schultz, Melissa Gray; grandchildren, Clayton, Emily, Evan, Allison, Sydney.
Tex was a partner at Goodman Pediatrics where he practiced for over fifty years. He took care of multiple generations of families and it was hard to go anywhere in Rochester without a child or parent stopping him to say hello. He was a kind and caring doctor, husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be dearly missed by all.
Friends may call to the funeral chapel Thursday December 4th from 4-6 pm. A Funeral Mass will be private. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation in Tex's name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
