  Obituary: H. Michael DeMerchant 1960-2026 The death of Harold Michael “Mike” DeMerchant, of Florenceville-Bristol, NB occurred on January 12, 2026 at the Upper River Valley Hospital in Waterville, NB. Born on January 15, 1960 in Bath, New Brunswick, he was the son of the late Cecil and Phyllis DeMerchant, and husband to Patricia (Brooks) DeMerchant. He was also predeceased by one step-granddaughter, Madison Rousselle; Siblings, Tommy DeMerchant and Cathy Patterson; and one brother in law, Robert Grant. Mike is survived by his wife, Pat; Children, John DeMerchant (Shayle) and Shannon DeMerchant (Ian Beaudoin); Stepchildren, Andrew Byram and Gina Rousselle (Chris); Grandchildren, Amelia, Cash and Ella DeMerchant, Elise, Arthur, and Oliver Beaudoin, Brooklynn Whelan, Chandler, Arabella and Nathan Rousselle; Siblings, Debbie DeMerchant-O’Neill (Roy), Timmy DeMerchant (Echo), Pam Grant, Richard DeMerchant (Danielle) and Allison DeMerchant (Tracey); Sister in Law, Cindy DeMerchant; Brother in Law, Allison Patterson; as well as several nieces and nephews. Mike was a quiet man, who loved fiercely and devotedly. His love was deep and constant. He didn’t need many words, a smile and a nod and you knew he was there; steady and caring, without asking anything in return. He loved his family but he lived for his grandchildren. He was never without a secret stash of candy, ready and willing to sneak to the kids. His gentle spirit, loyalty and quiet strength will stay with us always-in the memories and laughter at the camp, in the doorway of his brother’s old store, and in every moment when we feel his love without a word being spoken. There will be no formal funeral services at this time. A Graveside service will be held in the spring. For those who wish, donations made to the River Valley Cancer Support Group or Dun Roamin’ Stray and Rescue would be appreciated. L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors, 207 Burnham Rd. Florenceville-Bristol, NB have been entrusted with the arrangements. www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca (506)392-1115 https://www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca/obituaries/189725
