Gerry Godin

After a courageous journey with cancer, Gerry Godin of Egmondville passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family on Monday, Nov. 10, 2025 at the age of 62. 

 

The cherished husband of Gail (Bateman) Godin for over 40 years, Gerry was the loving dad of Chantalle (Micheal) Turgott, and Greg Godin and the proud Papa of Ryden, Koa, Noxx, and Abriana. 

 

Gerry will be missed by his “girls”, Maggie and Molly, and Greg’s dog Chesley. 

 

He was the beloved son-in-law of Virginia Bateman, the dear brother of Georgie, Laurie (Rick), Sue, Denise (Mike), Gisele, Nicole, Christine and brother-in-law of Valerie (Ken), Norma (Danny), Terry (Gloria), and Tina. He will also be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews. 

 

Gerry will be welcomed home by his parents, Donat and Colombe Godin, and his brothers; Roger, Guy, and Marcel, and father-in-law Murray Bateman. 

 

Gerry was a lifelong tinkerer, he could often be found in his garage, fixing, building or simply puttering away. He worked for many years as an equipment manager, and, when he wasn’t working, he enjoyed spending time with family, the loyal company of his dogs and casting his fishing pole every so often.

 

A celebration of Gerry’s life will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, Seaforth on Gerry’s birthday, Sunday, Nov. 16 from 2:30-5 p.m., with words of remembrance at 3:30 p.m. Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will be held at the Palmerston Cemetery.

 

In lieu of flowers, donations in Gerry’s memory to St. Elizabeth Health, Stratford General Hospital Foundation or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
