George Kinnear
1955-2019
AMHERST – Surrounded by his loved ones
at his home in Amherst, George William
Kinnear, 64, left this world as a true warrior with
grace and dignity after succumbing to his battle with cancer on
Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
George was the son of Joseph and Lois
(McFadden) Kinnear.
An avid farmer from a very young age, he
continued to fulfill his passion until recent years, in addition to
working fourty plus years for the Chignecto Central Educational
Centre. George left a lasting impression to all those he
met. His dry sense of humour followed by a smirk, and a big
heart, were some of his many characteristics. George enjoyed hunting,
fishing, and the outdoors with his wife and dog, Sullivan, bird
watching and gardening in his backyard, regular visits and phone calls
with his Mom, and spending time with friends and
family.
George is survived by family who wishes
him the most joyous and peaceful journey to the next level: his wife
Heather (Dowe) (Carter); his mom, Lois Kinnear, Brookdale; children,
Tanya (Doug Marks), Amherst, Jeremy (Shannon Waye), Fenwick, Bradley
(Amanda) New Salem, and Lacey Remington (Daniel Leblanc),
Amherst. George is also survived by siblings John (Shawnie)
Kinnear, Amherst, Judy (Gary) Livingstone, Brookdale, Brenda
(Dale) Daborn, River Hebert, Lynn (Ed) Canton, Amherst, Donna (Chris)
Young, Lower Sackville; sister-in-law Janet Kinnear, Brookdale,
brothers-in-law, Darren, Parrsboro, and Ambrose, Vancouver;
mother-in-law Bonnie Dowe, Amherst, as well as many nieces and
nephews. His greatest gifts in life were his grandchildren
Morgan, Marshall, Merissa, Casey, Axel, Phoenix, Camden, Gavin and
Gage.
Besides his father, Joseph, George was
predeceased by his brother, Gary; his brother-in-law, Larry and his
father-in-law, Allison Dowe.
Arrangements are under the care and
guidance of the Jones Family Funeral
Centre, 70 Church Street, Amherst
(902-667-8777). A celebration of George’s life will be held
from the funeral home on Sunday, September 8, 2019 at 3 pm with a
