Jeffrey Scott Dusseau

Jeffrey Scott Dusseau, 45, of Monroe, Michigan, died peacefully, after having lost his 5-year battle to cancer, on Saturday, October 17, 2015, at 7:05pm. He was surrounded by his loving family. Jeff had been under the care of Great Lakes Caring Home Health for several years and its Hospice Program for the last few months. Born in Toledo, Ohio on October 30, 1969, Jeff was the son of Thomas and Beth (LaBeau) Dusseau. A 1984 graduate of St. Michael Grade School and a 1988 graduate of Monroe Catholic Central High School, he attended Monroe County Community College and Western Michigan University, where he studied math and science and was a member of the WMU men’s varsity volleyball team. Jeff was employed by Meijer Distribution Center of Newport for more than 15 years as a general warehouse clerk and hi-lo operator. He also worked as a foreman at Central Dispatch, Inc. of Romulus. Jeff had many gifts which he generously shared with family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. Among his many talents were his musical prowess, quick wit, and marksmanship skills. Jeff was an accomplished pianist, guitarist, and vocalist. Portraying Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar was his greatest achievement on the stage, while being a member of a band afforded him the opportunity to share his vocal, guitar, and keyboard skills. His quick wit and unquenchable desire to make people smile or laugh earned him the title of Class Clown for his high school graduating class and continued to be a part of Jeff’s persona throughout his entire life. An avid archer and billiards player, Jeff shot both for sport and competition, receiving many trophies for his archery and pool skills and sharing many trips and experiences with his friends from Cones and Cue and Silver Star. His love for outdoor thrills and adventures was demonstrated by his riding three wheelers, going on white water rafting trips, taking bow hunting trips up north, and orchestrating patriotic fireworks displays. Survived by his parents, his sister Jennifer, his paternal grandmother, Mary (Mimi) Dusseau, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins, Jeff was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, James and Elizabeth (Hess) LaBeau, his paternal grandfather, Felix Dusseau, his uncle Dale Dusseau, and his godfather and uncle Frederick LaBeau. Even in death, Jeff continues to give as it was his wish to donate his body to the University of Michigan Medical School for research. A Memorial Service celebrating his life is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 8330 Lewis Avenue, Temperance, MI. The family will receive friends beginning at 10:00am with Mass of the Resurrection at 11:00am. Father Stephen Rooney will preside. Donations may be made to the family to address Jeff’s wishes. Bacarella Funeral Home assisted the family in making arrangements.
