James « Jamie » Edward Small
1975-2021
James « Jamie » Edward Small of Moncton, NB,
passed away of Cystic Fibrosis related complications on
Wednesday, October 06, 2021 at the age of 46. Born in
Newcastle, NB, on June 1st, 1975, he was the
son of Stan and Pat (Dexter) Small.
Jamie was called by many different names but his favourite
was « Dad ». He looked forward to every
visit and outing with Parker. Jamie valued his
titles of teacher and coach. His teaching career
developed, in him, a passion for helping at-risk youth and anyone in
need of a listening ear. Basketball has always been
part of his life. As a kid, he thrived on playing
and watching the game. As an adult, he became a
skilled coach and mentor to many, often keeping communication with his
former players. Jamie’s happy place was
the family community on the Miramichi. In spring and summer, he loved
spending time there for the solitude and companionship he
found. When speaking of Jamie, it would be
impossible not to mention his love of wrestling and video games. Over
the years, Jamie cultivated and maintained a few strong friendships
which kept him going through difficult times in life and illness. Our
family is grateful for these
relationships.
Survived by his parents, Stan and Pat Small; dearly loved
son, Parker Small; sister, Stacey McQueen (Chris); adored nieces,
Jamie and Shannon all of Moncton; special cousin, Brenda McFarlane;
paternal grandmother, Louise Small of Amherst, NS, as well as
Parker’s mother, Laura Small.
Jamie was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, Cecil
Small and his maternal grandparents, Donald and Vera (Dobson)
Dexter.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there will be no service at
this time. Interment will be held at a later date.
Donations in Jamie’s memory may be made to Cystic Fibrosis
Canada, the Crandall University basketball program or to the charity
of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the
family.
