Yves Alban Joseph Mercille

Born July 14th 1945, Died 24th February 2025

On Monday, February 24, 2025 at the age of 79, at Montfort Hospital while recuperating from hip surgery.  Yves was predeceased by his parents André Mercille and Claire Mercille (née Carbonneau). He is survived by brother Serge Mercille.

Yves was born in Montreal the 14th of July 1945. He spent his early years at the family home in Clarence Creek, Ontario before moving to the former Eastview, now Vanier. There he had many friends and acquaintances.

He had a passion for and participated in many sports including hockey, skiing, tennis and golf. He was educated in the classical course at boarding school Collège Saint-Alexandre, Limbour (Laval University), followed by courses at HEC Montréal business school (École des Hautes Études Commerciales) and finally civil law studies at the University of Ottawa. He graduated in 1970 and was called to the bar in 1972. Early in his career, he practised legal aid law in Gatineau for a period of time with great devotion and dedication.  After legal aid he had a successful career working for Natural Resources Canada, formerly Energy, Mines & Resources, in the Federal government.

Outside of work activities he had a passion and love of investment research.  At his instruction, his success in this latter endeavour will benefit many charities. Also, at his request, there will be no funeral services. He will be buried alongside his mother at Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Avenue.

Bonjour Serge,
C'est ce matin dans Le Devoir que j'ai retrouvé l'avis de décès de ton frère Yves, notre cousin. Je l'ai transmis à Claire, Rita et Victor. Derrière le phrasé simple et clair, on aperçoit une vie pleine, aux multiples engagements personnels et professonnels. La famille Carbonneau n'a pas été tissée serrée, ce n'est pas indispensable. Je garde des jolis souvenirs de nos rencontres durant l'enfance. Avec l'âge (nous avions 5 mois de différence), le moment est d'une belle clarté. Mes meilleures pensées, Lise B.

Bonjour Serge,

Toutes mes sympathies pour ce grand deuil que tu vis. Je le partage beaucoup car Yves me rejoignait par téléphone chaque fin d'année. Nous étions heureux de partager ensemble les dernières nouvelles familiales. J'appréciais beaucoup sa délicatesse et son affection envers sa cousine . Ma prière l'accompagne beaucoup.

Adieu cousin. Nous avons ru bien peu d'occasions pour nous rencontrer, mais je garde un bon souvenir de tes visites à maman, ta tante Victoria à sa résidence. Mes condoléances à Serge.

Cher cousin Serge
Je fus très peinée d’apprendre le décès de Yves. Nous nous étions liés d’amitié. On se téléphonait aux fêtes et en cours d’année. Mon époux et moi t’offrons nos plus sincères condoléances et savons que tu ressentira un grand vide. Bon courage!
Cécile Carbonneau et André Guitard.
P.s. j’ai essayé de t’écrire sur ton courriel et il m’est revenu.

Serge, on ne se voyait pas souvent mais j'ai toujours apprécié les moments et les conversations que j'avais avec Yves. C'était un bon gars, animé, généreux, à l'esprit ouvert.
Mes sincères condoléances.
Ton cousin Pierre Mercille.

Cher Yves. Je viens d'apprendre ton décès et j'en suis bouleversé. Tu as été un ami précieux et un mentor pendant toutes ces années. Tu as été la première personne à m'accueillir à Énergie, Mines et Ressources, il y a plus de trente ans, et le dernier à me saluer avant mon départ de la capitale nationale il y a quelques mois. Sylvie et moi avons beaucoup apprécié te côtoyer au fil des ans et nous conserverons à jamais de beaux souvenirs de cette amitié. Repose en paix mon bon ami.
