Gerald Arthur Forest
1952-2017
It is with appreciation for a life well lived, that we announce the
passing of Gerald (Gerry) Arthur Forest which occurred on July 1, 2017
at the Palliative Care Unit of the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born
on August 28, 1952 in Saint John, NB, he was a son to Huberte (Betty)
and the late George Forest.
Gerry touched many lives with his gift of caring for individuals with
special needs. With his nephew and assistant Clifford Lavoie, both
John Ferguson and the late Jack Meahan who were under his long term
care, held a special spot as family.
Gerry is survived by his wife and love of his life Sondra
(affectionately known to Gerry as Sunny), his daughters Lisa Forest
Ohlheiser (Noel) and Lynda, and two step children, Jillian Comeau
(Kirsten Bonson) and Jared Comeau. He is also survived by one brother
Paul (Diane Durette), and two sisters, Susan Boudreau (Rodolphe), and
Linda O’Brien (David). He is also survived by two grandchildren Nikki
and Isabella, along with several nieces and nephews.
Gerry is predeceased by his daughter Tammy, his father George, and
Jack Meahan, for whom he was a long-term care giver.
Special thanks to Dr. Bewick, Dr. Grant, and the Palliative Care Team
at the Saint John Regional Hospital for their exemplary care and
compassion.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Fitzpatrick’s Funeral Home, 100
Waterloo Street, Saint John (506-634-1965). In keeping with his wishes
there will be no visitation. A mass of Christian Burial will be held
on Thursday, July 6, 2017 at 12:10 PM from the Virgin’s Chapel of the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 91 Waterloo Street. Interment
will take place at a later date in Calgary Alberta, when Gerry’s ashes
will be laid to rest with his beloved daughter Tammy.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Heart and stroke foundation or to the
Cathedral Restoration fund would be appreciated by the family.
