Douglas Ray Ward
1943-2018
It is with heavy hearts the family of Douglas Ray Ward (Doug)
(Dougie) announces his passing at the Saint John Regional Hospital on
December 26, 2018. Born on August 21, 1943, he was the son of the late
James and Stella (Campbell) Ward.
Doug was a Saint John Police Officer for 33 years, retiring
in 1998 as a Sergeant. Doug loved his family and was so proud of their
accomplishments. Doug was very compassionate and touched many lives.
As a young adult, he had a passion for cars and had great memories of
his days racing in Pennfield. This passion continued into adulthood.
He loved time socializing with his friends reminiscing “the
good old days” and the many cars they had over the
years.
Doug is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Gail (Blyth)
Ward; his sons, Bryce Ward and Sean (Stefanie) Ward; mother-in-law,
Evelyn Blyth; nieces, Laurie (Mike), Kimberley (Art) and Tracy
(Carrie) and their families and many special brother and
sisters-in-law.
In addition to his parents, Doug was predeceased by his
sister, Rhonda Jean Shaw and his brother-in-law, Clifford
Shaw.
Doug’s family would like to extend their immense
thanks and appreciation to the nurses, doctors and staff of ICU 3B

compassion.
