Obituary
NICKERSON, PASTOR ERNEST HENRY
“. . . absent from the body and present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8).
On March 21, 2023, at age 94, Ernest passed away at Bay Side Nursing Home, Barrington, NS. Born on February 9, 1929, in Clam Point, Cape Sable Island, NS, he was the son of the late Thomas and Almeda (Brown) Nickerson.
While teaching school at 18 years of age in West Head, NS, God opened his understanding to see his sinfulness and consequent separation from God; as well as his need to ask the Lord Jesus to save him from his sins and make him a child of God. This was an event that shaped the course of the rest of his life.
Throughout his life, he worked as a schoolteacher, principal, deputy clerk, accountant, and pastor of churches in Wickham, NB and Pleasantville, NS. During these years, he graduated from Atlantic Baptist College and became an ordained Baptist minister.
At his home church, Stoney Island Baptist, he taught Sunday School, played the organ, and served as a church treasurer and honorary deacon. Over the years, he taught Bible studies in homes, as well as at summer family camps, and faithfully mentored other pastors. He edited “The Path of Life”, a Christian bimonthly paper, which began in 1948 and continued for the next 50 years. Under this same name, he also had a radio broadcast and a phone dial-a-message ministry. In all of his teaching, he took a strong stand on the authority of the Bible.
He was dearly loved and will be missed by many, especially his daughter, Susan (Gary) Barnes, Hampton, NB; sister-in-law Mary Ann Nickerson, Barrington, NS; five grandchildren, Adrian (Lisa), Shane (Heather), Joel, Jeremy (Ashley) Barnes, and Britany (Bryan) Nickerson; eleven great-grandchildren, Seth, Kate, Laura, Tessa, Natalie, Bryce, James, Freya, Dean, Aurora, and Liam; as well as many nephews and nieces.
He was predeceased by his wife, Ellen (Smith); son, Douglas; sisters, Julia (Rogers), Genevieve, Norma (Brown); Sarah (Roache); brothers, James, Alden, Claude, Elliott, Havelock, Edsel and Layton.
Visitation hours are Sunday, March 26 from 6-8 pm at H. M. Huskilson’s Funeral Home, Barrington, NS. The funeral will be held Monday, March 27 at 2 pm in the Stoney Island Baptist Church, Stoney Island, NS, with Pastor Wayne Crowell officiating. Burial to follow in Atlantic Cemetery.
