May 12, 1953 - April 6, 2018

BEECHER FALLS — Louis B. Marquis, 64, passed away on Friday, April 6, 2018, at his home in Beecher Falls, Vt. He was born in West Stewartstown on May 12, 1953, a son of the late Oscar L. and Aurore E. (Chaloux) Marquis. Louis lost his mother at a young age and was raised by his uncle in Canada. Louis later returned to Canaan to work and live closer to his siblings. He began working at the Beecher Falls Division of Ethan Allen, and later made a career in the woods as a logger for more than 20 years. Much of that time he worked for Gaston Rodrique. Louis loved to go 4-wheeling and he loved to tend to his vegetable garden in the warmer months. He was an accomplished wood-worker, as well, and could create almost anything out of wood. Louis is survived by his two children, Jolyne Parker and husband David of Manchester, NH, and Dominic Marquis and wife Jennifer of Manchester; his siblings, Guy Marquis and wife Pierrette of Clarksville, Yves Marquis and wife Helen of Manchester, Bertrand Marquis of Colebrook, Ginnette Ladd and husband Allan of Canaan, and Simone Biron and husband Donald of Clarksville; five grandchildren, Cassandra Parker, Kaleb Parker, Aiden Marquis, Sawyer Laflamme and Olivia Laflamme; as well as several nieces and nephews, all of whom will miss him dearly. He is predeceased by two brothers, Serge and Donald Marquis. Memorial calling hours will be at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook on Saturday, April 14, 2018, from 5-8 p.m. A private interment will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
