Gerald Clarence (Jerry) Flagg
1957-2020
Mr. Gerald Clarence Flagg, 63, of North Head,
Grand Manan Island, NB, passed away at home after a long and hard
battle with cancer, on Sunday, February 16, 2020.
Jerry was a man of many talents, after graduating
from High School in 1977, Jerry moved off the Island to St. Andrews to
start his Carpentry Trade. Once completed, he returned home to begin
his fishing career with his father, the late Leroy Flagg. When his
father Leroy retired in 1997, Jerry took over the Dulse business
alongside his wife Joanne. Jerry was a very handy man, if he
couldn’t buy a part to fix whatever, he would always figure
it out. Jerry was also known for his guitar playing at home, but was
too shy to play in public. He also liked to read and draw. Jerry was a
very hard worker, right up until December, 2018, even after major
surgery and treatments; he still pushed himself to fish lobster with
his son Justin. Most of all Jerry was a loving husband, father and
Papa.
Jerry is survived by his loving wife
Joanne (Shelton) Flagg, of 42 years, his children, Jody Flagg; Justin
(Carla) Flagg and Jada (Zach) Mason all of Castalia; one granddaughter
Kasey; four grandsons, Tristin, Gage, Kayden, Koden; two great
grandchildren, Jersey and Tanner; one sister Rommona Fanning; two
brothers John (Amanda) Stevens and Millen (Heather) Stevens; also his
mother-in-law, Molie Shelton and Joanne’s
family.
Jerry is predeceased by daughter Jerry-Anne Flagg;
parents Leroy and Angeline (Angie) (Falconer) Flagg and biological
parents, Millen and Treasa Stevens.
Jerry wishes was to have no visitation or funeral service.
