Bruce Rocheleau

CLINTON – Bruce Rocheleau, 66, of Clinton, began his journey into the afterlife peacefully at home surrounded by love on August 17, 2021.

Bruce was born Feb. 17, 1955 to Joan Hewette of Biddeford. Shortly after he was adopted by William and Priscilla Rocheleau of Westbrook.

Bruce’s wild side and love for shenanigans among friends started from a young age, spending his school days attending public and catholic schools. He shared many tales of the “glory days” and the adventures he had with his three best friends, Ernie, Sil and Luddy.

Bruce would go on to create three of his life’s greatest achievements when he created his three sons, Ryan, Keith and Tyler, all whom he loved very much.

He had a love for skiing and took pride in teaching each of them to ski. He also enjoyed kayaking, fishing and hanging out with friends whether it was to share stories, music or taking a long drive north. He always loved to watch the Eagles fly.

He took pride in his work ethic. He held many jobs over the years , however he was most proud of his drywall finishing skills and his time employed as a carpenter at Local 58 at B.I.W for 17 years. Bruce was a good man who had a love for good times and good jokes spent with good friends giving them a little s*** while raising a little hell.

Bruce leaves behind his fiance and good friend of 16 years, Teia Goodwin; three sons, whom he loved very much, Ryan Rocheleau and wife Beth (grandson Connor); Keith Rocheleau and his wife Kate (grandchildren Alice and Grham); and Tyler Rocheleau; stepdaughters Aliza Richards and husband Roger (granddaughter and special little friend Ivy); brother, David Rocheleau and partner Holly (niece, Leslie nephew, Morgan); ex-wife, Kelly Rocheleau; special friends and you know how special you were, Ernie, Sil, Fitizi, Becky, Tim, John B.; as well as many good friends.

Bruce is predeceased by Joan Hewette, William and Priscilla Rocheleau; good friends Luddy, Flat and Scotti.

Please wear tie dye if you can and bring a chair if you plan on sitting outside. As Bruce requested, a “Shindig” styled celebration of life will be held Sept. 4 at “HIGH noon” at the Clinton Snowmobile Club – 35 Clubhouse Rd. Clinton ME 04927. If there are any questions please contact Teia Goodwin via Facebook or 207-426-1049 – May the memories we’ve shared last us from the last time until the next one… “See you on the other side”-
