1944 ~ 2026

Surrounded by the love of his wife and children, Robert “Kit” Cyr passed away on April 20, 2026, at the age of 81. A native of Saint-Léonard-du-Madawaska, he was the proud son of the late Annette Devost and the late John Cyr.

He leaves to mourn his wife, Carmel (Belliveau); his three children: Monique Haché (Claude Haché), Marie-Claude Cyr (Pier-Luc Bégin), and Jacqueline Cyr (Marcela Amador); and his grandchildren, whom he cherished above all: Philippe Bégin, Gabrielle Bégin, and Nicolas Bégin. He also leaves behind his brother Donald Cyr, his sister Paulette Gagnon (Lloyd Gagnon), Francine (Greg Thomas), as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends whom he loved dearly and who held great affection for him. He is predeceased by his brother John Cyr and his sister Rachelle.

Robert “Bob” Cyr, lovingly known as Kit, passed away leaving behind a legacy defined by devotion, integrity, and quiet strength. Raised in a close-knit family, he grew up with a deep sense of responsibility, a playful spirit, and an enduring loyalty to those he loved.

Bob pursued his studies with ambition, eventually finding his true calling in education. As a dedicated teacher for over three decades at Moncton High School, he inspired generations of students through his passion for biology, environmental studies, and lifelong learning. He was more than an educator—he was a mentor, a coach, and a steady presence who gave generously of his time and heart.

He shared a remarkable 58-year love story with his wife, Carmel, a partnership rooted in laughter, respect, and unwavering support. Together, they raised three daughters, instilling in them strong values, independence, and a deep belief in education and equality. He was a proud and present father and grandfather, a constant source of encouragement, wisdom, and unconditional love.

A lifelong hockey enthusiast, Bob found joy, discipline, and brotherhood on the ice—a passion that shaped his character and remained with him throughout his life.

He will be remembered for his kindness, his humility, his quiet wisdom, and the genuine care he showed to everyone around him. His greatest pride was his family, and his greatest legacy lives on through them.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
