It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the peaceful passing of Rayno at the age of 83. He was son of the late Sabien and Mary Naveau. Cherished husband of Peggy Busawa. Proud father of Shelly Kimewon, Shelly Busawa (Mark Stone), Jennifer Melanson (late Christopher Melanson) and bonus daughter Rachelle Godin. Much loved grandfather to Ginesse Manning (Bronson Roach), Nicholas Manning, Nelson Solomon, Jenna Bennett and bonus grandson Justin Godin. Predeceased by his siblings Elizabeth Naveau, John Naveau, Theresa Naveau and Veronica Commando. He will be missed by his siblings Agnes Naveau, Gail Naveau, Carol Gagnon and Gary Naveau. Proud Uncle, cousin and friend to many others.
Rayno will be fondly remembered for being an extremely talented musician where he played in a band and could play several different instruments including the guitar, fiddle, piano and banjo. He was a avid carver and wood-worker and enjoyed creating, building, and making art of all kinds. He will be fondly remembered for being a jokester, always having a "Dad Joke" to offer. He was sharp witted and a great conversationalist.
