Olivier Gaston Rousset, âgé de 59 ans, est décédé paisiblement le 11 février 2025, chez lui à Clearwater, en Floride. Né en France, Olivier a émigré au Canada en 1991, où il a travaillé comme assistant de recherche à l’Université McGill. Il s’est ensuite installé à Baltimore en 1999, où il est devenu chercheur postdoctoral et a passé 19 ans à l’Université Johns Hopkins avant de prendre sa retraite en 2020.

Il était également un frère bien-aimé de Véronique et Sébastien, ainsi qu’un oncle cher pour Benjamin, Ewan et Mya. Olivier était aimé de nombreux amis et membres de sa famille élargie.


Olivier était également un passionné de plein air. Marin chevronné, skieur, snowboardeur et campeur, il considérait ses meilleurs moments dans la vie comme étant ceux passés dans la nature.
