ST-MARTIN, Paul - Passed away peacefully at his home in Thunder Bay, with his family by his side on Monday June 16, 2025 at the age of 65 years.

 

Beloved partner of the late Patricia Saunders. Dear father of Derek Saunders, Cory (Marshall Tessier and the late Auston VanBuskirk) and Dustin Saunders. Proud grandfather of Hannah, Cash, Trinity, Lochlan, Kavik and Cree. Paul was predeceased by his parents Jean-Louis St-Martin and Ange-Aimée Breton, and by his step-father Réjean Proulx. He will be remembered by his brothers and sisters Rémi (Lilianne Jean), Denise Godbout (Camil), André (Édith Alarie, predeceased), (Comfort Okon), predeceased Angèle Rheault (Robert), Marie-Anne (Mike Lahaie) and Alain (Chantal Cyr). He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

 

Paul was a man deeply devoted to his family and provided for them by working in the bush most of his life. For him, forest and nature felt like a second home. Although, his greatest joy came from simple moments and time spent with family. His strength, kindness, and love for his children and grandchildren will always be remembered. He will be truly missed by everyone!

 

Friends may visit at the Sacred Heart Church, Chapleau on Sunday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. and on Monday June 23, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. until time of the funeral mass at 11:00 a.m. with Reverend Ben Nshikita officiating. Cremation will follow at River’s Edge Cremation Centre, Sault Ste. Marie, ON.

Paul était un homme profondément dévoué à sa famille et il a travaillé dans le bois la majeure partie de sa vie. Pour lui, la forêt et la nature étaient comme une deuxième maison. Cependant, ses plus grandes joies venaient des moments simples et du temps passé en famille. Sa force, sa bonté et l’amour qu’il avait pour ses enfants et ses petits- enfants resteront à jamais gravés dans leurs mémoires. Il manquera sincèrement à tous.

 

Les amis peuvent se recueillir à l’église Sacré-Cœur de Chapleau, le dimanche soir de 19 h à 21 h, ainsi que le lundi 23 juin 2025 à partir de 9 h 30, jusqu’à l’heure de la messe funéraire à 11 h, célébrée par le révérend Ben Nshikita. L’incinération suivra au River’s Edge Cremation Centre, Sault Ste. Marie, ON).

 

Des dons commémoratifs faits à la Société canadienne du cancer seraient grandement appréciés par la famille.
