Pleuven, France — The FC Pleuven football community, along with the town at large, is reeling from the heartbreaking loss of Marie Le Berre and her young son, Aubin, who tragically died in an accident earlier this week. Marie was the devoted wife of FC Pleuven head coach Renan Le Berre, and their sudden passing has left an immeasurable void in the lives of family, friends, and teammates.
A Family at the Heart of the Community
Marie and Aubin were beloved members of the Pleuven community, known for their warmth, kindness, and support of those around them. Marie, a devoted mother and wife, was admired for her generosity, her nurturing spirit, and the love she poured into her family. Aubin, full of energy and curiosity, was described as a bright light whose presence brought joy to everyone who knew him.
The Le Berre family has long been intertwined with FC Pleuven, with Renan’s leadership and dedication inspiring players and residents alike. The couple’s surviving children, Amber and Noan, now face an unimaginable reality, and the community has rallied around them, offering support and comfort during this period of deep grief.
FC Pleuven Offers Condolences
In a heartfelt statement, the club expressed its sorrow:
“Our thoughts are with all of Marie’s family and friends, but especially with Renan and her two children, Amber and Noan. Words are hard to come by at this time, but we thank everyone who has already sent messages of support. Marie and Aubin will always be part of the big FC Pleuven family. Once a Dragon, always a Dragon.”
This phrase — “Une fois Dragon, toujours Dragon” — has become a unifying message of remembrance for the FC Pleuven community, symbolizing the enduring bond and love shared by its members.
Community in Mourning
Tributes have poured in from across Brittany and France’s football world, with clubs, players, and fans expressing their condolences and sharing memories of Marie and Aubin. The impact of their lives — Marie’s compassion and Aubin’s spirited curiosity — is being felt far beyond Pleuven.
Renan Le Berre, widely respected for his leadership and devotion to the sport, now leans on the support of the very community he has guided for years. Neighbors, teammates, and friends have come together to offer love, prayers, and solidarity, honoring the memory of a mother and son whose presence enriched so many lives.
