Florent D. Marcoux (Frenchy/Flo), age 81, passed away on August 20, 2024, at Baystate Medical Center surrounded by his family. He was born on June 11, 1943, in Ste-Marguerite-de-Dorchester, Quebec, Canada, a son of the late Amedee and Yvonne (Carbonneau) Marcoux. Florent worked as an Auto Body Tech at Geno’s for almost 20 years and then for Western MA Collision for over 40 years before he retired. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Denise A. (Turmel) Marcoux of Chicopee; His children Nancy Noonan and her husband Timothy of Chicopee, Andre Marcoux and his fiancée Deborah Missildine of Chicopee; Joanne Marcoux and her life partner Candace Pennington of South Hadley; six grandchildren, Justin, Brandon, Nadege, Matthew, Nicholas, and Solene.

He is predeceased by his brothers Roger and Leandre Marcoux. Frenchy was never one to sit still, he always had to be doing something. Whether this was spending time at the beaches in RI or FL, or working on home projects, he had to be busy. It was nothing for the neighborhood kids to go to Frenchy to help to fix their bikes, make go-karts, or to learn how to fix cars. His work ethic was endless and never expected anything in return. He loved to go camping, deep sea fishing, play card games, mini golf and being around animals. This man loved to do or find a project of any kind whether for himself or for his children and grandchildren including neighbors and friends. He was loved by many people and carried the biggest heart one could ever have. Calling hours will be held on Friday, August 30, 2024 from 4:00 -6:00 PM at the Grise Funeral Home, 280 Springfield St, Chicopee. Burial will be private at a later date.
