In memory of

Adrien Fortin

1944 - 2022

FORTIN, Adrien - It is with heavy hearts filled with love that we mourn the passing of Adrien Ludger Fortin, 77, who peacefully passed on February 18th at his home in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, with family by his side.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Stella (née Wirzman), and his children: Robbie (Lorri), Danny (Karla), Jamie (Lore-Lee), and Ashley (Ryan). His biggest and most proud accomplishments were his grandchildren, Sloane, Cash, Jack, Max, Avery, Ethan, Ryley, Leo and Beau, who will all dearly miss their papa. He is also survived by several aunts, uncles, eight siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Adrien was born on the steps of the hospital in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, to Maurice and Marie-Rose Fortin (predeceased).After moving to Val D’Or, Québec, for a short time, Adrien and his family then moved to Larder Lake, Ontario. Adrien’s first job ever was working for Weston Bakery, in Kirkland Lake. He then began his working career at the Kerr Addison Mines in Virginiatown, where he worked for over 25 years. During this time, as fate would have it, he met the love of his life and his future wife only a few weeks later. After the birth of their first son, he moved his family to Kirkland Lake.

With the closing of Kerr Addison Mines, Adrien worked for A.F. Genier and Normick-Perron for short periods of time. A little while later, when the Department of Veterans Affairs in Kirkland Lake opened, Adrien was fortunate enough to be one of the first hired for a position in Human Resources. Coworkers would describe him as a genuine, honest, and hard-working man. Adrien was a reliable, trust-worthy team player who was always friendly and approachable with everyone.

Adrien was a true handyman, always helping others with repairs and renovations. It was even more important for him to be able to pass on his knowledge and work ethics to others, including his children and grandchildren. Rarely would you see Adrien without a hammer in one hand, a measuring tape in the other, and a pencil on his ear. For decades, he went from one home to the next, designing, preparing, building, and finishing projects for his four children and their families. It was very important for him that his family was well taken care of. In his younger years, Adrien was always referred to as Handy Andy because of his many skills. He was a very proud man; he lived his life always putting his family first. If any of his children had an event, you could bet that Adrien and Stella were always in the stands, number one fans.

In his spare time, he enjoyed spoiling his cocker spaniel, Lexie, who passed away at home only weeks before Adrien. When he wasn’t fixing something in the house or outside, he was practicing and preparing for his other favorite pastime: singing with the Ensemble Melodia choir. He was always a musical man and being able to share in music with people he admired were happy times for him. If anyone had a question about politics, he was the one to ask. His love for CNN and reading non-fiction books gave him knowledge that made it so he always had an answer for everything. When anyone had a problem or needed advice, Adrien, dad, or papa was the first person we would all go to. It did not matter what he would be doing, he would gladly stop to help. He was a quick-witted man and had impeccable timing with his hilarious one-liners. One of the motto’s Adrien always lived by was that, if you’re going to do something, do it right the first time. This went for anything: construction projects, cleaning, making supper, gardening, shovelling, anything! At a young age, he joined the Knights of Columbus and participated in many volunteer projects that still run today; the biggest being the Knights of Columbus Campground. We will always be proud of his accomplishments and his legacy.

In his final hours, Adrien was wearing his favorite shirt, which his children bought him years ago. It read, I’m just like BACON: I make everything better. And it was always true. Now, wherever he is, it is a better place because he is there.

The Fortin family would like to extend a special thank you to the Kirkland Lake Hospital staff, PSW’s and VON workers who tended to Adrien and made sure he was well taken care of and comfortable.

In lieu of flowers, Adrien requested that a donation in his name be made to the Knights of Columbus or Paroisse Assomption. 

The family will welcome friends at FRENCH FAMILY FUNERAL HOME (111 Burnside Drive, Kirkland Lake, ON P2N 3L1) on Friday, March 4th, 2022, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, March 5th, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. at Paroisse Assomption.  

 

Due to the ease in restrictions, we still require proof of vaccination, and all patrons must wear a mask. We strongly encourage that everyone continues to maintain social distances.

Adrien was such a wonderful man. I remember working with him at VAC. He was always willing to spend some time with me - offering advice and a listening ear. He was a safe place to land. His sense of humour made you recognize the stuff that really mattered in life. His laugh always made me laugh, and he had the best smile too.

Allen and I are sending our deepest sympathies with the passing of Adrien. I met Adrien in 1991 when we both started working with Veterans Affairs Canada. Within the first year we became friends and colleagues working in the Human Resources Directorate proving advice and guidance to our many clients. During the 20-25 years spent working in the unit, Adrien's dedication to his work, his kindness and his great sense of humor certainly contributed to the success of the Directorate. For Many years Adrien had the pleasure of being the only male in Human Resources, this I think he enjoyed. When Adrien retired years back he was greatly missed by his colleagues. Now he will be greatly missed by all. Rest in peace Adrien. Stella and Family may your precious memories ease the pain.

- Allen and Louise Lauzon, on February 22, 2022

I am so very sorry for your recent tremendous loss. I became a VAC employee March 1991, and I remember when Adrien was hired. I remember our time there through the decades. I was on assignment three times in Human Resources and therefore worked in close proximity to Adrien. He was so unbelievably quick-witted, always laughing. Always willing to help people. Cherish all of your treasured memories.

- Laura Mazepa, on February 22, 2022

Our most sincere condolences. I only knew Adrien a short time as colleagues at Veterans Affairs in Kirkland but he was always a joy to speak with. He will be dearly missed

- Sylvia Fenton , on February 22, 2022

We are so sorry to receive the news concerning Adrien.We were very fortunate to have met him and to have shared in the lives of his great family! He was always so friendly and cheerful and like many others we will miss him. Our condolences to all-Brian and Gale

- Brian and Gale Hamilton , on February 22, 2022

You have my deepest sympathies for your loss. Please know that Adrien was deeply loved and respected. In his career as Staffing Officer for VAC, he worked with passion, integrity, and energy. He had an eagle eye when it came to noticing inaccuracies and was always ready to challenge the status quo. Adrien was also a good friend to many of us and a great colleague. He had a good sense of humor and a gentle demeanor which are great qualities to have when one works with 20+ women. He will be sorely missed by a lot of people. My sorrow is slightly lessened with the comforting thought that I had the privilege to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I hope you find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

- Dannielle Cloutier, on February 22, 2022

Adrien’s love of music, especially singing, expressed itself so eloquently through his participation and dedication to his choir, Ensemble Melodia. He was an integral part of the group, of that jovial “back row” that could be quite mischievous at times. He never missed rehearsals, was always encouraging and ready to help. His calm and harmonious nature admired by all! It was a pleasure to have spent so many Tuesday evenings with him! On behalf of Ensemble Melodia, our deepest condolences. Dolores

- Dolores Lynch, on February 22, 2022

I’m so very sorry to hear of Adrien’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him. We shared some great laughs and good times. He was a funny and a kind man. He reminded me so much of my dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during very sad time. Cherish the beautiful memories to get through this very sad time. Take care xo

- Donna Crema, on February 22, 2022

Aunt Stella, Cousin Robbie, Danny, Jamie, Ashley and families. Sending our love and support after the passing of Uncle Adrien. Not just my Uncle but a Dear Husband, Father & Grandfather. Uncle Adrien will never be forgotten his memory lives inside of all you and anyone who was lucky to meet him. I have many memories of him as he was part of my life when growing up in Kirkland Lake and visiting your household in Virginiatown & Kirkland Lake for family or special occassions. I have two very special memories of him. One, is that Special Day on June 28th, 1969 when both of you said the words "I Do" I can remember the "sparkle in his eyes" as my sister Kelly and I walked up the isle, Kelly as your Flower Girl and I the Ring Bearer. The next was seeing the smile on Uncle Adriens face which was from "ear to ear" when he pulled up at my Nana's with his new Snow Crusier ( Ski-Doo). His machine was a double track and single front ski which nobody in Virginatown had, he was so proud. Remember those we love don't go away they walk beside you everyday. We are thinking of all of at this time. Love you All Mark, Jackie, Kory, Riley, Mary
