It is with sadness the family of Gilles Joseph Nowlan announce his passing which occurred peacefully with his son and granddaughter by his side at the Souris Hospital on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. Born on December 29, 1947, to Albert and Therese Nowlan, he was aged 76 years of Lower Rollo Bay, PE, and formerly Paquetville, N.B.
He is predeceased by the love of his life Judy (nee Schurman) and will be lovingly remembered by his sons Alyre and Carl Nowlan, along with his granddaughter Brenda whom he dearly loved.
Gilles is survived by his sisters Dianne Hache, Corinne Lowell, and Linda Nowlan. He will also be deeply missed by sisters-in-law Clara Rafuse, Ann Know (John), brothers-in-law George Schurman (Donna), Rodney Hogg (Ruth) and close friend Debbie Nicholson.
He is predeceased by his dear son Claude, brothers Guy and Alyre Nowlan, brothers-in-law Eric Schurman, Joey Rafuse, Andre Hache and Ross Lowell.
Gilles will be remembered for his great involvement within the island musical community. He was a passionate guitar player, but more specifically the pedal steel. He would freely give his time to attend and participate at various island functions including telethons, benefits, fundraisers, and concerts. When he was not playing music, he was committed to his role as a terminal manager at the CTMA in Souris. He leaves a void within the community and will be greatly missed.
The family would like to acknowledge the exceptional care given to their father and grandfather during his time at the Souris Hospital. The compassion shown to him by the entire nursing team, along with Drs. Malone and Bronaugh will always be remembered.
By personal request there will be no public visitation. A funeral Mass will be held at the St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at 11:00am. Interment will follow in the St. Alexis Roman Catholic Church Cemetery, Rollo Bay, PE. If so desired donations in memory of Gilles can be made to Eastern Kings Health Foundation (Souris Hospital) or the St. Alexis Cemetery Fund and are appreciated by the family.
