FOURNIER, Victor “Pigg”

FOURNIER, Victor “Pigg”

In Loving Memory of Victor (I.R. “Pigg”) Fournier Husband. Son. Brother. Family. Friend. Biker. Community Leader 1970 – 2025 It is with profoundly sadness and immense love that we announce the passing of Victor (I.R. “Pigg”) Fournier, who rode on to his final destination on June 9, 2025.
Pigg was more than a man – he was a force. A proud redneck with a wild heart, a poetic soul, and a ride-or-die loyalty that touched everyone lucky enough to know him. He was the kind of man who didn’t just live life – he felt it. In every word he wrote, every mile he rode, and every person he stood beside.
From his first mullet to the last throttle twist, Pigg lived unapologetically and authentically. He was forged by struggle and resilience. His past didn’t define him – it sharpened him into a man of fierce compassion, wicked humor, and unwavering strength. He turned pain into purpose.
Pigg was a founding pillar of RISE ABOVE Mental Health & Community Supports Inc., where he didn’t just wear the patch – he was the patch. A tailgunner, a gatekeeper, an advocate for those struggling and hope to the hurting. Pigg poured his soul into every ride, event, and mission, always with a huge heart and a well-timed joke. He was the BBQ King, the ride keeper, the storyteller, the loud protector, and most of all – a brother to many.
Pigg was a Jack of all trades, who could create anything out of nothing. His ability to help with any task and build all kinds of amazing things was brilliant. He had the type of brain you wanted to learn more from.
He leaves behind his beloved wife, Sheri Fournier (Pigg), whose love and strength were matched only by his own. Their bond was raw, real, and powerful. Pigg also leaves behind his wonderful mom (Barbara Wills), his amazing auntie Irene, as well as his siblings, many cousins and his goddaughter Emma, who held a special place in her uncle Victors heart.
Pigg will be deeply missed by his chosen family, the biker community, his countless close friends and by every soul whose life he touched with his words, his love, his hugs, and his steady presence.
