It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, and friend after a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Marco Robert Joseph Drouin passed away peacefully on Feb. 7, 2013 at home in the loving arms of his wife. Born in St. Georges de Beause in the province of Quebec. He was the son of the late Maurice and Ghislaine (Dumas) Drouin. Marco graduated from Polyvalente St. Georges and attended the University of Sherbrook where he studied Math, Phys-Ed and History. Marco always had a huge smile on his face and an infectious laugh which everyone loved and made everyone want to be around him. He loved sports and when he wasn’t playing baseball, golf, ball hockey, road hockey and ice hockey he was watching all those sports on tv, especially his Montreal Canadiens . Marco’s friends were family to him, he so cherished his friends and family in St. Georges, especially the five musketeer’s guys which he has been through thick and thin with since childhood. After moving to Nova Scotia 13 years ago, he met another great bunch of guys through the Navy and of course his Hockey buddies. Marco loved music and would sing along loudly and off key to his hard rock music in the car while bobbing his head and tapping his fingers. Marco was loved by all and everyone who was lucky to meet him, he impacted so many and was a great friend to all. Marco and Colleen always made sure to visit their homes away from home, visiting friends and family in Quebec, going to Chateau Frontenac where they got engaged and visiting the local poutinerie or Cape Breton to visit friends and family, going on the local pub crawl Marco loved being with his friends and family. Marco somehow was able to share his love for his family with whatever they needed and always being there for his wife, son and step-sons. Nick was Marco’s pride and joy and never missed an opportunity to spend time with Nick, be it playing road hockey or attending his hockey games. Marco was Nick’s biggest fan. Above all Marco’s love for wife and soul mate Colleen was felt and seen by all and radiated always. They were best friends and partners in crime who loved life and laughing together. Colleen nursed, loved and provided the best care for Marco until the end. They were so close and everyone who were around them had the privilege to witness true love. Their love and passion for one another radiated where there was one there was always the other. You could always catch them dancing and laughing together. Their love for each other was one that only a few would ever have the chance to feel. Their love was meant to be and they were meant for each other always. Besides his wife and children, Marco is survived by his brothers Richard and Maxime both of St. Georges de Beause. Besides his parents, Marco is predeceased by his father in law Pius and Lexie Graham. Visitation for Marco will be held Sunday February 10th from 6-8pm at Atlantic Funeral Home 125 Sackville Dr. where a funeral service will be held on Monday, February 11th at 3:30pm.
