Thomas Desmarais

December 22, 2019

Thomas Desmarais, 60, beloved husband of Denise (Bouvier) Desmarais, of West Hartford, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 22, 2019, surrounded by his adoring wife and loving children. He was born in Hartford, the son of Armand and the late Irene (Cesanek) Desmarais of West Hartford. He was raised in New Britain attending Holy Cross School and was a parishioner of Holy Cross Church; a place that brought him great solace. Tom graduated from Conard High School in 1977 and from the Morse School of Business. He began his career in 1981 as the first employee of Bouvier Insurance. He was instrumental in growing the company from 3 to greater than 140 employees nationally. He was known for his integrity, work ethic and devotion to his clients. An avid boater, Tom cherished outings on the Connecticut shoreline with family and friends. He found refuge in the serenity of the White Mountains of New Hampshire and sunsets at Lovers Key in Florida. He relished Saturday evenings listening to Dick Robinson’s American Standards by the Sea while enjoying a glass of Bordeaux with his beloved wife Denise. In addition to his wife of 38 treasured years and his father, he is survived by his three amazing children whom he admired: Nicholas Desmarais and his wife Jennifer of West Hartford, Gregory Desmarais and his fiancée Kim Crepeau of West Hartford, Emily Desmarais of Denver, Co; his siblings, Karen Desmarais of West Hartford, James Desmarais of New Britain; and his Bouvier Insurance family. We are comforted knowing that Tom is reunited with his mother, his respected mentor Robert F. Bouvier, and his dachshund Munson. Calling hours will be Thursday (Dec. 26th) from 4-7 p.m. at the Molloy Funeral Home, 906 Farmington Ave., West Hartford. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday (Dec. 27th) at 10:00 a.m. at St. Peter Claver Church, 47 Pleasant St., West Hartford. Burial will follow in Fairview Cemetery, West Hartford. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to St. Peter Claver Church. Online expressions of sympathy may be made at www.molloyfuneralhome.com
