Edward Jean Comeau
1943-2022
The passing of Edward Jean Comeau, husband of the late Donna
Maxine (Moses) Comeau occurred unexpectedly at his residence in St.
Stephen NB on November 27, 2022. Born in Concession NS on September
28, 1943, he was a son of the late Neil J. and Hilda M. (Walsh)
Comeau. A loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother,
Eddie is survived by one son: Shawn (Diane) Comeau; one daughter:
Heather (Peter) Jones all of St. Stephen NB; his grandchildren: Zack
(Karah) Jones and Noah Jones (Devyn), Brieanna Comeau, Mattison Comeau
and Gabriel Comeau; his great-grandchildren: Blakely and Everly; his
brother: Walter (Wanda) Comeau of Concession NS; sisters: Rose (Grant)
Welsman of Halifax NS, Tina (Allan) Muise of Concession NS; Karen
(Paul) Mayflower McCaley of Metaghan NS and Irene (Ben) Marquis of
Sherbrooke PQ, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. In
addition to his parents and wife, Eddie was predeceased by one son:
Arden Comeau, grandson: Riley Comeau; sister: Elise Isbell; and by one
sister in infancy, Elise.
Prior to his retirement, Eddie came to Blacks Harbour in the
early 1960’s to work at Connor’s Brothers where he later became a
machinist. In 1973, he went to work for Lake Utopia Paper where he
worked for 26 years as a millwright until his retirement in 1999.
Eddie also worked as a funeral assistant at St. George Funeral Home
for a number of years. He was community minded to say the least, as he
was a former member of the Blacks Harbour Fire Department as well as a
volunteer Ambulance Driver. Eddie was a member of the Stella Maris
Catholic Church in Blacks Harbour where he was very active for a
number years on church council and was also the chairman of the
cemetery committee. He will be fondly remembered for being behind many
projects at the church, such as the annual Church Fair and the
Acquisition of Stella Maris Hall. He was a proud member of the Knights
of Columbus #11569 for many years and was the first Grand Knight in
that Chapter and also was a 4th Degree Grand Knight. Eddie truly was a
social butterfly who made friends and had conversations wherever he
went. He could often be found at Tim Horton’s in St. Stephen and St.
George catching up on local news with the guys. Above all,
Eddie’s biggest passion was his family and spending time
with them. He will be sadly missed by his family, community and all
who knew him.
Arrangements in the care of
the St. George Funeral Home (755-3533) 26 Portage Street, St. George
NB. Resting at St. George Funeral Home with visiting on Wednesday from
2-4 and 6-8 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated from the
Stella Maris Catholic Church, Blacks Harbour NB on Thursday at 12:00
noon. Interment will be held at a later date in the parish cemetery.
In Eddie’s memory, donations to a charity of the donor’s choice would
be appreciated by the family.
