‘Mentor to everyone’: Captain killed in Ontario crash was loyal husband, dad, friend
Being a keen, silent observer of what was going on around him, speaking only when he needed to, was part of what made him a great pilot and leader in the Royal Canadian Air Force.It took some time, and a few more dates, for him to open up, but she quickly realized they had something special.
Marc, 53, was originally from Amos, Que. He got his private pilot’s licence before joining the Armed Forces in 1989. He received his pilot’s wings four years later. If he didn’t know something, he would study until he learned it and was ready to share his knowledge.“He was approachable, and a mentor to everyone,” his friend and colleague Capt. Steve Doughty wrote in an email.
He was awarded a Command Commendation from the Canadian Special Forces Operations Command for outstanding service to the Special Operations Aviation Squadron. He graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 2016, and returned to his studies in recent years. He was nearing completion of a master’s degree from the college.
