Alex Lachance

I mentioned this in the watercooler thread, but thought I would give it its own post.

Alex was very active in the solidworks forums (all iterations of it) since before I became
a member in 2017. I noticed a while ago that he hadn’t been active, but it slipped my mind and I didn’t think any more about it until this week. After doing some searching I discovered he passed away at the end of October.

At his residence, on Monday, November 3, 2025, at the age of 37 years and 4 months, Alex Lachance, son of Christian Lachance and Francine Grondin, passed away suddenly.

He resided in La Guadeloupe.

He is survived by his parents: Christian Lachance and Francine Grondin;

his brothers: Steve (Monia Godbout) and Jamie Lachance;

his niece and nephew: Précilla Lachance-Laframboise and Anthony Laframboise.

He also leaves to mourn many uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

A memorial service was held on Friday, November 14, at 4:30 p.m. in the Chaudière-Appalaches Memorial Park’s memorial hall.

Your expressions of sympathy can be translated into a donation to the Charles Guindon Foundation, 4007 Mackay, St-Hubert, QC, J4T 2P9.

Thanks for the update. I hadn’t noticed that he hadn’t been on the forums till you mentioned it.

This is truly a heartbreaking news. He always carried himself with integrity, warmth and always open to help others whenever possible.

My thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time.

I just called up his office number, and news is correct unfortunately. He is no longer with us.

Alex, we all will miss you :frowning:

Sad, sad news. Alex was a fine human being.

I’ve created an @inmemoriam group and added Alex’s profile to it. All his existing posts will show a black ribbon on his avatar as a reminder.
