1950-2019
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Dr. Kendrick Lacey
announce his death at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on Saturday,
June 15, 2019 at the age of 68. Born in Saint John, NB, he was the
cherished husband of Deborah Lacey of Fredericksburg,
NB.
In addition to his loving wife, Deb, Kendrick leaves his
sister, Randi Corey (Ed); Deb’s daughter, Vanessa Stapleford; nieces,
Kendra Gilmore (Gregory), Hannah, Elizabeth, and Rachel Barrett;
nephews, Aaron Corey (Cassie) and Donnie Young; great nieces Aevys and
Charlotte Corey and Gracie Gilmore; great-aunt, Vera Green;

brothers-in-law, David Barrett (Alexandra), Gordie Barrett (Kim), and
Roger Savoy; best furry friend, Pepper. Kendrick was predeceased by

Physician, soldier, teacher, mentor; Kendrick was an
extraordinary man. Kendrick was a proud veteran of
Canada’s Princess Patricia’s Canadian
Light Infantry, serving in Canada and in Germany with 3 Mech Commando.
After receiving his medical degree from Queen’s University,
he returned to active duty with his Regiment as Medical
Officer. Upon his retirement from the forces, he began a new
chapter in his life as a rural family doctor in Stanley, NB, where he
served his community until his retirement in 2017. He loved his
patients. In his spare time he loved to cook, work in his garden, and
was the author of two published books. He was also a talented
cabinetmaker. He will be deeply missed by his family.
A special thank you to Kendrick’s friends and colleagues, Dr.
Roberto Gonzalez, Dr. Kate Hadley, and nurse Nancy Schuttenbeld for
their kindness and caring through this difficult time.
Visitation will be held at McAdam’s Funeral Home, 160 York
St., on Wednesday, June 19, from 4:00-6:00 pm. A memorial service will
be held from Grace Memorial Baptist Church on Thursday, June 20, 2019
at 2:00 pm. Rev. Dr. Peter Lohnes will officiate. In lieu of flowers,
