Scot A. Birnie
1959-2021
It is with profound sadness that the family of Scot Allan Birnie
announces his sudden death on April 25, 2021 at the age of 61. He is
preceded in death by his parents Paul Birnie and Jeanne (Kinney)
Birnie, and his brothers John S. Birnie and Michael Birnie, of North
Bay, Ontario.
He is survived and deeply loved by his wife Karen (Broad) Birnie, his
two sons John and David Birnie of Halifax, NS; his sister-in-law Susan
(Larmer) Birnie and nephew Noah Perron of North Bay, ON; his
mother-in-law Delores (Watson) Broad and his father-in-law, Kevin
Broad of Bristol, NB; his sister-in-law Karla (Broad) Deweyert, her
husband Ted Deweyert and their children Claire and Anne Deweyert of
Bristol, NB, and his treasured golden retriever, Pyper.
Over the course of 33 years, Scot worked for several companies in the
field of human resources prior to retiring in 2019. He was an astute
negotiator, who garnered the respect of his clients and colleagues.
Scot was proudly involved in his son’s athletic pursuits. If he
wasn’t on the bench, he was on the sidelines as he never missed
a hockey or football game. Upon his retirement to Florenceville, Scot
was able to indulge in his love of golf, cross-country skiing and
cycling. His competitive spirit often found him taking quarters from
friends on the golf course, racing through local ski trails, and
testing friendships in card games. Scot will forever be remembered as
a genuine and selfless husband, father, and friend. He will be dearly
missed by all of those who were fortunate enough to be in his
life.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude for the
compassionate care from the doctors and staff of the Upper River
Valley Hospital in Waterville, NB. A special thank you to Dr. Denny
Johnston, Dr. Sebastian Benaya, Amy Cullins, Josie Delong, Lauren
Moffatt, and Katelyn Richardson. In addition, the family would like to
express their utmost gratitude to Dr. Clay Marco, whose unwavering
support will forever be cherished.
A private family service will be held from L.R. Giberson Funeral
Directors. For those who wish, the funeral will be live streamed on
the L.R Giberson’s Funeral Director’s Facebook page on May 3,
2021 at 1 PM Atlantic time. Reverend Susan Estabrooks will be

Cemetery at a later date. For those who wish, memorial contributions
