Vincent Burgess
1944-2025
Vincent Ivan Burgess, 80, of Lewis Mountain, and formerly of
Riverview, passed away January 23, 2025 at the Moncton Hospital, with
his family gathered there. Vince was born at Lewis Mountain,
the son of the late Ivan and Pearl (Rogers) Burgess.
He is survived and deeply missed by his sisters, Rev. Carol
Mullin (late Merlin) and Joyce Fiset (Bob) and their families, as well
as many cousins. He is also survived by his chosen family Michael and
Laura Kenny, their children Derek, Alyson, Jaymi and
Cameron. Besides his parents he was predeceased by his
beloved wife Rosie (2017) and his dear sister and her husband, Muriel
and Roy Wilson.
Vince is also lovingly remembered by Muriel and Roy’s family
as well as Rosie’s nieces and nephews. A bright star has
gone from our sky.
Vince had a 35-year teaching career including retiring as
Principal from Mountain View School. Vince was devoted to his students
and teachers. After retirement from teaching,
he continued to enjoy gatherings and meals with teachers he
had worked with. He so appreciated their kindness and
thoughtfulness, and of course the many times of breaking bread
together.
Not content to stay retired, Vince became the much-loved
Pastor at Lewis Mountain Baptist Church, the church he attended as a
child. He worked right to the end, gathering with his little
flock at The Ridge, for a birthday Celebration the evening before he
left us to be with his Lord. Throughout his illness he never
missed a Sunday, although he had to sit on a stool to give his
sermon. His sermon last Sunday was
entitled « The Good News Concerning
Death. » And he shared the Good News « I don’t think
you need to be afraid of life nor death. Our hearts are very
frail, and there are places where the road is steep and lonely, but we
have a wonderful God. And as Paul puts it, « what can
separate us from His love, not death, nor anything else in all
creation. »
Vince and Rosie enjoyed their ministry, with many gatherings
with their congregation at their home, always with lots of food and
great hymn sings. Vince was kind and generous to
everyone, especially his family, and his church, who were also
family.
When they lived in Riverview, Vince and Rosie always enjoyed
the friendship of their neighbours, and when a young, growing family
moved in next door, they became fast friends and then
family. Vince and Rosie loved the Kenny kids who could be
found more often than not, over at Rosie and Vince’s house.
How Rosie loved telling stories of their escapades.
Vince and Rosie enjoyed camping and spent many summers at
Stonehurst Campground, along with his sister and her husband, Joyce
and Bob. After he lost Rosie, the love of his life, he
continued to spend his summers at the campground and could
be found sitting on his patio in front of his trailer, often
working on his sermons. Friends and family alike enjoyed
stopping by, and the many meals enjoyed
together.
Rosie and Vince also enjoyed travelling, especially with
Nancy’s Bus Tours, and travelled all over the Maritimes.
Another great interest for Vince, for many years, was gardening, both
in Riverview and Lewis Mountain, until the deer and potato bugs took
over and Vince threw in the towel.
Vince was a gentle soul, who will be greatly missed by all
who knew and loved him. He leaves you with this, the words
of Augustus Montague Toplady:
Angels, joyful to attend,
Hov’ring, round thy pillow bend;
Wait to catch the signal giv’n,
And escort thee quick to heav’n.
Saints in glory perfect made,
Wait thy passage through the shade;
Ardent for thy coming o’er,
See, they throng the blissful shore.
