Daniel Brian “Bugsy” Charles
1988-2019
Daniel Brian “Bugsy” Charles – age 31, of
New Minas, was lost to us in a tragic motor vehicle accident on
Friday, August 9, 2019 near Port Mouton. Born in Whitehorse, Yukon he
was the eldest son of Emily Jane Shaw, New Minas and Brian Eric
Charles, Whitehorse. Daniel was an honor roll graduate from NSCC
Kingstec and was currently working for Party Central, New
Minas. He also worked with Oceans Edge Lobster Pound, Salmon
River. He previously lived in Fort McMurry for 10 years where he had a
community of close friends who considered him
“Bugsy” family. He is also survived by his brothers,
Jeffrey, Whitehorse; Tim, Barrington Passage; maternal grandparents,
David and Joy Shaw, Greenwich; paternal grandmother, Joan Charles,
Winnipeg; many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his
paternal grandfather, Gordon Charles. He leaves behind his best friend
and companion, his beloved Bluenose Pitbull Gauge who already
doesn’t know where his Daniel has gone. Daniel was fiercely
loyal to those he loved and had a place in his heart for children. He
had hoped to be a father one day. He took up boxing and worked with
troubled youth teaching them the art as a form of therapy. He was
always on duty when his ailing grandmother needed assistance and would
gently help her to her feet and walk by her side with her walker. His
mother couldn’t have made it through the difficult time
without him when both her parents went to a nursing home. He kept her
company, took care of the lawn chores and heavy lifting and even did
much of the cooking. Life will never be the same without you Daniel,
and there will always and forever be an ache in our hearts. Visitation
will be held from 1:00 p.m. until the time of the funeral service at
2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 16, 2019 in the White Family Funeral Home,
Kentville, Reverend Mark Shaw officiating. Burial will take
place in the Berwick Cemetery. Donations in memory may be made to
Cali’s K9 Rescue Society, Kingston, NS, Humane Society of
Canada, Children’s Wish Foundation or a charity of your
choice. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family
Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
