Timothy Douglas Atkinson
1959-2019
It is with profound sadness that the
family of Timothy Douglas Atkinson, 59,
of Sackville and British Settlement announces his sudden and
unexpected passing on July 9, 2019 at home, following a prolonged
period of illness.
Born in Summerside, PEI, he was the son
of Florence Hicks, Sackville and the late Douglas C.
Atkinson.
In addition to his mother, he is
survived by brothers Edward (Brenda), Oxford, NS and Jason (Barbara)
Hicks, Halifax, NS; sister Sandra Atkinson (Eli Collins), Dartmouth,
NS; nieces Caitlin, Isabelle, Amy and nephew Shawn; many aunts and
uncles, as well as numerous cousins and his canine companion
Jak.
He was predeceased by his father
Douglas; sister Patricia Marlee; step-father Adrian Hicks, paternal
grandparents, Gerald and Mildred (Atkinson) and maternal grandparents
Walton and Madeline Sullivan, Aunt Vivian Sullivan.
Tim began his formal education in St.
Mard Belgium and was graduate of Tantramar Regional High School and
Mount Allison University. He
served briefly in the Canadian Armed Forces and was a former employee
of Corrections Canada. He was a member
of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch No 26. Tim
was an avid reader and outdoorsman, having spent the last 15 years
living off the grid. He would pass
many hours and was very content sitting on the bank of a body of
water, fishing rod in one hand and a book in the other.
Arrangements have been entrusted to
Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge St.,
Sackville, NB (506-364-1300). In
keeping with Tim’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and there will
be no visitation or funeral service.
Those wishing to make a donation in
Tim’s memory may do so to the Heart and Stroke, or the LA Animal
Shelter.
Sharing of memories and condolences may
be sent to the family by visiting Tim’s online memorial at
www.jonesfuneralhome.ca or through the Jones Funeral Home Facebook
Page.
« If a man does not keep pace with
his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different
drummer. Let him
step to the music he
hears, however measured or far away. » – Henry David
Thoreau
