Biography:

Willard A. Levesque, 83, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026, following a long illness.

Born in Madawaska (Long Lake), Maine, Willard was the son of the late Joyime and Irene (Cyr) Levesque. At the age of 15, he moved to Connecticut, where he worked in carpentry alongside his brothers. He later returned to Frenchville, where he owned and operated a hardware store before founding a well-drilling business in 1982. Through hard work, determination, and pride in his craft, he built a family business that continues today with his sons and grandsons.

Willard was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, Third Degree. He enjoyed dancing, music, fishing, and bowling, but above all, he cherished time spent with his beloved wife and family. Together, he and his wife shared many joyful years, often cruising in his treasured 1964 yellow Chevy Impala convertible. Known for his playful spirit, Willard loved to joke and tease, bringing laughter and warmth to everyone around him.

He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Aline (Charette) Levesque; his children, Carl (Heidi) and Kevin (Manon); his grandchildren, Joshua (Brianna), Brandon (Ashley), Ashley (Tyler), and Benoit (Sydney); and his cherished great-granddaughter, Addison. He is also survived by his brother, Raymond, sister-in-law Nicole and his sister-in-law, Huguette.

He was predeceased by his parents, Joyime and Irene Levesque, and his brothers Percy (Pauline), Erney (Edith), Richard (Florence), and Vernon.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Glenridge Nursing Home for their compassionate care and support.

Family and friends are invited to a mass that will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2026 from 11am to 12pm at the Saint Augustine Catholic Church in Augusta. Following the service, the family invites everyone to join them for a time of remembrance and refreshments at the Calumet Club in Augusta.
