Funeral for MP Gord Brown set for this Thursday in Gananoque

The funeral for MP Gord Brown will be held in his home town of Gananoque this Thursday. The service takes place at the Lou Jeffries Recreation Centre at 11 a.m., followed by a graveside service at Gananoque Cemetery. A reception will be held at The Firehall Theatre from 2 to 4 p.m. Visitation is this Wednesday at the Tompkins Funeral Home in Gananoque from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.

Brown served as MP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes since 2004. He passed away suddenly on May 2 at the age of 57. He is survived by his wife, Claudine Courtois, and his two sons Chance and Tristan.

Part of his vision for Gananoque was to see a second ice pad located near the current recreation center. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to a GoFundMe campaign for the second ice pad Brown was hoping to develop for the town.
