Publish in a newspaper

It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Paul S. Vaillancourt on June 4th, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. Paul's strength and resilience throughout his journey were truly inspirational.
Paul was born on July 8th,1962, in Gardner, MA. During his life, Paul embarked on various career paths, but it was in carpentry that he found his true calling. Paul was known for his legendary gardens, love of camping and nature, fondness of gambling and his love for cooking and good food, especially chocolate cake. Paul lived life to the fullest alongside his cherished family. His legacy is one of humor, patience, preparedness and an unparalleled devotion to his loved ones.
Paul leaves behind his devoted wife and soul mate, Denise Trafton Vaillancourt; daughters, Brandy (Sean Mohan), Tyler Vaillancourt, Connie (Mark Gauthier); step-son Ethan Trafton; grandchildren, Damien Harlow, Kloe Glidden, Nicholas and Allison Mohan, whom he adored beyond measure; his father, Edward Vaillancourt; sisters, Karen Spingola (John), Kathy Rastley (Bill) and Julie Flagg (Steve); his brother, Michael Vaillancourt (Tina); life long friend Lisa Whitney and many nieces, nephews and friends. Paul was predeceased by his loving mother Constance R. Vaillancourt (Wilcott).
Per Paul's request, no formal services will be held. Instead, a celebration of life will be held on August 23rd in Lunenburg, MA.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to assist with burial cost and medical expenses can be made at https://everloved.com/life-of/paul-s-vaillancourt/donate/
