With immeasurable grief and aching hearts, we share the tragic news of the passing of our beloved son, brother, and friend, Luc Bourgeois. After an agonizing period of uncertainty and searching, Luc has been found and brought home—by the very family whose love for him never wavered, whose hope never dimmed.

Luc was recovered at sea, a place both awe-inspiring and unforgiving, where prayers once floated on every wave, and where our worst fears were finally confirmed. His cause of death has been attributed to drowning, a heartbreaking end that leaves behind countless unanswered questions and an ocean of sorrow.

Yet in this unimaginable pain, there is one quiet solace: Luc is no longer missing. He is no longer alone. He is home.

Our hearts find some comfort in the belief that Luc has been reunited with his cherished brother, Nicholas Bourgeois—his best friend, his anchor, his mirror soul. We imagine them now together beyond the veil, laughing as they once did, watching over those they loved with the same fierce loyalty they gave in life.

Luc was a radiant spirit. He was more than his smile, his laughter, or his quiet strength—though all of those left lasting impressions. He was someone who carried love in his every word and action, someone who made people feel seen and valued. His absence now leaves a silence that echoes with the depth of who he was.

He was a son who brought endless pride, a brother who loved unconditionally, and a young man whose heart overflowed with empathy and warmth. The bond he shared with his family—especially with Nicholas—was one forged not just by blood, but by shared memories, unconditional love, and a connection that even death cannot sever.

To those who stood by us, offered prayers, and held space for our pain: we thank you. Your compassion has been a light in our darkest hour. You reminded us that love reaches further than grief, that a community’s strength can hold a family when they cannot stand alone.

As we prepare to lay Luc to rest beside his brother, we ask that you keep our family in your thoughts. Let us celebrate Luc not only in mourning but in honoring the light he brought to the world. Let us carry forward his kindness, his tenderness, and his unshakeable loyalty in our own lives.

Luc, you were loved beyond measure.
You are missed beyond words.
You will be remembered beyond time.

May you now find eternal peace in Nicholas’s embrace.
May your soul soar freely, forever embraced by the love you left behind.

Rest peacefully, Luc Bourgeois.
You are home.
