John Edward Corney
1951-2018
John Edward Corney, 67, of Stoney Creek, NB passed away
unexpectedly at the Moncton City Hospital on August 27th, 2018 with
his family by his side.
John was born in Riverside-Albert, NB on March 5th, 1951,
the son of the late John and Mabel (Boyles)
Corney.
He was working as a tractor trailer driver for
Armour. He loved the ocean and got the chance to be a
lighthouse keeper which was an opportunity of a lifetime that he
cherished. He enjoyed being outdoors and especially his
beautiful Albert County, he was definitely an Albert County
boy. He loved camping, bird watching, woodworking, antique
cars and going to the car races. John had a great sense of
humour and was known for his teasing and was quick to join in
conversation with a funny remark. His family was the most
important thing to him. He was a beloved husband, dad and
grandad. He thought the world of his children and
grandchildren, they were his pride and joy. He would light
up whenever they were around. John felt blessed to have met
Kim, although it was later on in his life, it brought him true
happiness and they did everything together. He would want
you to remember the happy times, think of him and smile. His
legacy of love will live on forever.
He will be deeply missed by the love of his life and best
friend, Kim (Barkhouse) Corney; daughters, Angela Sharf (Andre) of BC
and Amanda Bishop (Edgar) of Hopewell Cape; step-children, Shelley
Allain (Serge), Sarah Barkhouse, Michael Barkhouse all of Moncton; his
precious grandchildren, Jarrett, Mackenzie, Daniel, Rylee,
Christopher, Madison, Matthew, Jennifer, Liam, Logan and Owen; and by
one great grandchild; twin brother, Gerald Corney (Cheryl)
of Hillsborough; Gary Collins (Brenda) of Germantown; Elizabeth
Collins of Riverside-Albert. He will also be missed by
several nieces, nephews and all his extended family.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by sisters, Joyce,
Alda and Lorene.
The family will be meeting with relatives and friends at
the Albert County Funeral Home for a time of sharing memories on
Thursday evening from 7-9pm. A Celebration of his life will
be held at the Albert County Funeral Home on Friday, August 31st, 2018
