Groveland, MA - Ellen M. (Horgan) Garfi, age 79, of Groveland, was a longtime resident of Groveland with her husband and after his death, passed in the quiet beauty of her home on Friday morning, August 7, 2020, with the comforting love of her family. She was the dedicated wife of the late Amos Garfi. After the death of her husband she shared the remainder of her life with John LeBlanc of Groveland. Born in Revere, February 25, 1941, she was the only child of the late John and Agnes (Doherty) Horgan and was a graduate of Immaculate Conception High School in Revere, Mass. Ellen continued her education by receiving her Licensed Practical Nurse from the Chelsea Soldiers Home and an Associate Degree from Northern Essex Community College becoming a registered nurse, which led to a lifelong dedicated career of caring for others. She worked over 20 years as the assistant head nurse at the Haverhill Manor Nursing Home in Haverhill. It was her love for her family and friends, her generous sense of humor, her nurturing ways, and her deep-rooted commitment to always do her best, that made her such an inspiration to everyone in her life. Her life was truly a treasure, and will continue to be, to her only son, John S. Garfi and wife Marianne of Groveland, her dearly beloved grandsons, Joseph with his girlfriend Nichole Palomo and Matthew with his wife Caroline, her two step-granddaughters, Melanie and Stephanie Poirier, as well as her "sister", Helen Hagopian, along with extended family and many dear friends.

Newburyport, MA - Patrick John Boudreau, born on March 11, 1997 of Newburyport, Mass. passed away unexpectedly on August 11, 2020 at McLean Hospital, after an ongoing struggle with mental illness. He is survived by his parents, George and Susan Boudreau, brother and best friend Billy, aunts, Georgia Kacher, Eleni Kacher, and Angela Ackroyd who have been by his side during his most sad times, grandparents, George and Connie Boudreau, grandmother, Sonia Kacher, step-grandmother, Andrea Jones and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends and his cat, Fiona. Patrick lived with compassion, curiosity, and courage, along with an unrelenting wit and dry humor. He had an extensive network of friends from around the world - a network that held him dear and looked after him. An avid consumer of news and politics, Patrick was always quick to share his thoughts and seek opinions. He enjoyed Russian novels, history, fishing, hockey, McDonalds and whoopie pies. Patrick was an honors student at University of Massachusetts Lowell studying Computer Science. Patrick was a kind and beautiful soul - he will be deeply missed by his family and friends. It is impossible to face the harsh reality of living without our Patrick in our lives. Patrick had worked long and hard to overcome his mental illness. It is essential to acknowledge and honor the progress he made while recognizing the struggle and toll it had on him. Mental illness is a silent epidemic. It will only be solved if we all acknowledge it and give it the attention and resources it deserves. This tragedy is a reminder that we as individuals need to show kindness to all - to talk, to listen, and to hear without judgement. It is also a reminder that we as a society need to better serve those that cannot always advocate for themselves. We need to fund mental illness treatment and recovery. We need services to facilitate active community participation and integration. Most importantly, we need to end the stigma associated with mental illness. This population is one that deserves attention and support; it is a population of incredible people, all too often leaving this world too early. "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Patrick's memory to the National Alliance of Mental Health - Massachusetts https://namimass.org/donate/ Services will be private to the family.

Kelseyville, CA - On Sunday, July 19, 2020 one of the brightest, warmest-hearted, utterly fearless, most adventurous, rascally, and fun-loving souls ever to grace the planet-made the journey back to his true home. The day before, Joel and his girlfriend Carrie had driven down to the Napa Valley area to spend the weekend with friends. Enjoying an afternoon of swimming and boating on Lake Berryessa, Joel did something he always loved and had done hundreds of times since childhood-jumping off high rocks (cliffs, bridges, masts...) into deep water. This time however, unbeknownst to anyone, the way he landed created a small tear in his spleen that would quietly begin taking his life. Joel collapsed mid-morning the following day, received immediate medical attention, but all efforts to revive him failed. Never very far from the water, Joel was born at home on Cinco de Mayo in his grandparents' house on the banks of the Merrimack, into a celebrating crowd of eleven; and for the next forty years, he continued to be the life of any party he was invited to (and likely a few he wasn't). Raised and barely educated in Newburyport (with a couple of very early years in, yes, Intercourse, Pa), before Joel even entered high school he had traveled extensively with his missionary father across the US, central Europe, and much of Africa. We have photos of him at fourteen, grinning from ear to ear the day he received his skydiving certification in Johannesburg. He loved all manner of tomfoolery and fast-paced living - motorcycling, skateboarding, sailing, snowboarding, scuba diving, kite flying, bar hopping, raving and East Coast hardcore. Among his friends he proved to be a charming and persuasive Pied Piper, enthusiastically inviting all to join him in as much outrageous (and not always legal) fun as possible. In his late teens, following his older brother Benjamin to the west coast, Joel enrolled in Santa Barbara City College and became certified in deep-water diving. All along the waterfront, at all hours of the day, Joel supported himself by delighting passengers with a pedi-cab service called " Rolls Roy." By his mid 20's however, he returned to his true avocation (one shared with his father) as an arborist and professional tree climber-the higher the better. He trained in Colorado (where he was, once upon a time, married to the lovely and equally warm-hearted Miyoko Green), and soon gained a reputation in and around Denver as an expert and fearless high climber. His late 20's found him on the other side of the world, traveling with underwater cinematographer Kate Garrett through the South Seas of Australia, New Zealand and much of Polynesia (including a near-fatal trip to Tonga). After a short stint in Kauai, Joel eventually returned to the west coast and settled down near the Cobb Mountain area, a few hours north of San Francisco. Initially training crews for Davey Tree Service, Joel later branched out on his own as an ISA certified arborist with Roy's Tree Care. As in the Rockies, he soon gained notoriety as one of the most intrepid and agile climbers in northern California, often single-handedly taking on jobs with only his chainsaw and climbing gear-that larger companies wouldn't touch without a full crew and elaborate machinery. During the spring of 2016, Joel set up camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where he designed, and then led a team of climbers in constructing, a zip-line adventure course hundreds of feet above ground. It currently operates as Redwood Canopy Tours. Those are a few highlights of what Joel did, but what those of us who knew him will remember most, is who Joel was. His Aunt Kathy captured it best: he never met a stranger. Everyone who crossed his path, truly the world over, was welcomed as a friend. Joel was always ready to lend a hand, lend an ear, change your flat, bring in a load of wood, stuff five dollars into your homeless pocket, or invite you home for a meal. And no matter where he was or how many sheets in, Joel remained a faithful, ragamuffin disciple, always eager to share-over a coffee or a beer-the good news of God's infinite and merciful love. No one who knew Joel ever really expected him to "...go gently into that good night." Truth is, he essentially went out the way he came in-partying with his peeps. A week after his death, at a well-known outlaw motorcycle clubhouse, Joel's amazing Kelseyville 'family' threw one of the most outrageous and fun memorial services anyone could've asked for, with his Harley Davidson, lovingly detailed and decorated, parked right inside on center stage. (Amidst the flowing tears and raucous laughter, his mother heard stories that made her immensely relieved to remember it was no longer possible for him to be in harm's way.) Joel packed several lifetimes into his 40 years, and lived them all full out, ultimately sliding face-first into home plate, arms outstretched, covered in mud, and still grinning from ear to ear. We take great comfort in knowing that he would've been immediately gathered up with shouts of joy into the waiting arms of his beloved father. Joel was predeceased by all his grandparents: Matthew and Pauline Wall, Robert & Margery McGlew, and Lawrence Roy, Sr.; by his uncle, Matthew Wall, and also by his father, Lawrence 'Bud' Roy, Jr. Joel is survived by his loving partner Carrie Powell of Kelseyville, Calif., his mother, Stephanie [Wall] Roy of Grants, NM, his older brother, Benjamin Roy of Newburyport, and his younger brother Daniel Roy, sister-in-law Masako Roy, and nephew Sato Roy of Cambridge, MA. He leaves aunts and uncles Kathy & Rusty Brown of Salisbury, Veronica Wall of Amesbury, JoAnn and Raymond Whitley of Salisbury, and Jennifer Hills of Amesbury. He will also be missed by his dear cousins Eric Brown, Sarah [Whitley] Poulin, and Philip Whitley, Maya Zolnay, and Adam Rozumek. And until it's his turn to cross the Rainbow Bridge, Joel will be forever missed by his beloved dog, Archer. An outdoor, private, Covid-safe memorial service celebrating Joel's life will be held on Saturday, August 15th at 1 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. This event will be streamed on YouTube and Instagram live @joyhustle. Check Benjamin, Stephanie, or Joel Roy's FB page for details. A memorial video of Joel's life will be posted on their FB pages at a later date.
