Jean Laprade Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Monahan Drabble Sherman Funeral Home on Feb. 12, 2026.
Born on August 1, 1946, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Jean was the son of Joseph and Gertrude

Laprade. He proudly served his country as a sergeant in the United States Air Force, stationed in

Okinawa, Japan. His time in the military was a meaningful chapter in his life and reflected his

dedication and sense of duty.

Jean was predeceased by his beloved wife, Cecile Laprade. Together they built a life centered

around love and family. He is survived by his son Daniel Laprade and daughter-in-law Jennifer

Laprade. He also leaves behind two cherished granddaughters, Delaney and Zoe Laprade, who

brought him immense joy. He loved being a pepere.

Jean found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He loved vacationing and looked forward to

Sunday brunches and meals shared with family. His cat "Buddy" was a constant companion and

source of comfort. Known for his fun-loving spirit, Jean brought warmth and laughter to those

around him.

Burial will be private. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
