Dennis D. Labrecque, 71, of Contoocook, NH, passed away suddenly on March 16th, 2024 at home. He was the devoted husband of Collette Labrecque and son of the late Clement and Pauline Labrecque. Dennis was born on October 10th, 1952 in Manchester, NH. After having suffered through early education, traveling to and from school uphill both ways in bare feet through rain and snow, he went on to work for New Balance Shoe Co. where he retired after 45 years.
Dennis had a passion for music. He was a terrific guitar player, winning multiple National Awards. He enjoyed tennis, sailing and riding motorcycles. He was a “Mr. Fix-It” who could fix almost anything. He was quick-witted and always ready with a joke to make you laugh but above all, he cherished the time spent with family and friends the most. He opened his arms and heart to all; truly a man of humility and honor. He was loved dearly and will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Collette Labrecque; two sons, Kevin Labrecque and wife Amanda, Ricky Labrecque and wife Nicole; sister, Claire Drake; niece, Kelly Flanders; five grandchildren, Madeline Cudmore, Raylan Labrecque, Kevin Howell, Rylee Labrecque, Colton Labrecque; and many loving cousins and friends.
He was predeceased by his grandson, Chase C. Labrecque and his son, Michael J. Labrecque.
A memorial reception will take place on Friday, March 29, 2024 from 2 to 4 pm at J. N. Boufford & Sons Funeral Home, 110 Bridge St.
