Huntley, Daniel Thomas,
77, of the RK MacDonald Nursing home, Antigonish, passed away
peacefully at the Wellness Centre in Antigonish on September 5, 2024,
with family by his side.
Born in
Antigonish, he was the son of the late Mary Catherine (Gillis) Huntley
and Thomas Peter Huntley.
Dan spent his early years in The Glebe on the family farm. He left
home at the early age of 17 to pursue a career as an electrician, and
later became a proud member of IBEW local 625. Dan worked across the
country, from PEI to BC, and wired many a house locally. He spent the
majority of his life in the community of Maryvale, Antigonish County.
Dan was a devoted Christian, committed to serving and helping others.
He worked at the Antigonish Jail and the Monastery as a part time
counselor and was a member of AA organizations for many years. He was
even known to play a bit of fiddle with the Wallaces in his earlier
years.
Dan had some
challenges in life, the biggest being his stroke in 2006. Despite this
obstacle, he pushed on, encouraging and touching the lives of many
around him.
Dan is
survived by his brother, Archie (Jodi), The Glebe; nephews, Daniel
(Victoria), Fort McMurray; James, Maryvale; John, Charlottetown;
nieces, Lauren, Antigonish; and Johanna, The Glebe; adopted sons,
Robert (Jen) Asselstine, Malignant Cove; and Bruce (Maureen)
Asselstine, Truro; and family doggies, Seonaidh (Shony) and Maisie,
whom he loved to tease.
Besides his
parents, he was predeceased by his brother Vincent in
2011.
Dan has
donated his body to Dalhousie Medical Sciences, with the hope he might
help others in future. A family gathering will take place at a later
date. A private burial will take place when Dan’s remains
are returned to the family.
We thank the
staff and residents of the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home for their
continued support and kindness, the many nurses and student nurses and
doctors that have cared for Dan, the MAID program administrators, and
the Dalhousie Medical Sciences Department.
In
remembrance of Dan, please share a kind act, words of encouragement
and a helping hand whenever you are able.
