Fils de Valere et Regina Renaud, de Victoriaville, Province de Québec. Originaire de Victoriaville, Québec. À l'occasion du 62e anniversaire (3 juin 1944 - 3 juin 2006) de l'écrasement du Lancaster LQ-C ND-507, qui coûta la vie aux sous-lieutenants d'aviation J.G. Maurice Renaud, Norman Johnston, David A. Kelley, Leslie A. McCrea et Commandant d'aviation George E. Coldrey, un monument a été dévoilé en leur honneur à la Boissière-Ecole, en France.
Les invités à la cérémonie comprenaient l'ancien pilote allemand Frithjof Fensch, qui abattit l'avion, Edith Bannerman, la soeur de David A. Kelley, Pierre Monfette, le neveu de J.G. Maurice Renaud, et Lucinda Brouwer, la nièce de Leslie A. McCrea.
Tori Olson, la fille du lieutenant américain Leroy Q. Olson, Christopher O'Neill, le fils du capitaine d'aviation anglais John H. O'Neill, et George Court, le fils du capitaine d'aviation canadien George L. Court, tous des enfants des trois survivants de l'écrasement, étaient également présents à la cérémonie pour rendre hommage à leurs pères, qui sont tous décédés depuis 1995.
Les représentants de La Boissière-Ecole comprenaient le Maire François Heiliger, Fabien Drouin, adjoint principal du Maire, et le conseiller historique Fréderic Vincent, dont les recherches ont permis d'identifier et de commémorer les victimes de l'écrasement.
