Colin B. Estabrooks
1961-2020
It is with deep sadness that we announce
the peaceful passing of Colin Brent
Estabrooks, age 59, of Sackville, NB, after a lengthy
illness. Colin passed away at the Sackville Memorial
Hospital on Thursday, November 19, 2020 with family by his
side.
Born in Sackville, Colin was the eldest
son of Inez (Hains) Estabrooks and the late William “Bill”
Estabrooks.
After he graduated from Tantramar
Regional High School, Colin attended the Officer Candidate School of
the Canadian Armed Forces in BC. He chose to leave his
training to fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer.
Colin’s policing career lasted 22 years starting in
Kensington, PE, back home to Sackville, and briefly in Springhill, NS.
He then became a Deputy Sheriff in Moncton for the past 15 years.
Colin was involved with farming and
sports for most of his life. He was committed to his community by
being a dedicated coach in baseball, hockey and football. He
proudly supported football in Sackville whether it was as an organizer
of minor football or running the scoreboard at games. Seeing
the players develop and mature was one of his most rewarding
accomplishments.
In addition to his mother Inez, he will
be lovingly remembered by his wife Dawn (Faulkner) Estabrooks,
Sackville, children Emily and Spencer Estabrooks, Sackville; mother in
law Vera Faulkner, Amherst, NS; brothers Michael (Leslie), Sackville,
Jeffrey (Mariana), London, ON, Jonathan (Christie), Sackville; as well
as many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Colin was predeceased by his father Bill
Estabrooks in 2019 and his father in law Ronald Faulkner in
2005.
Arrangements are under the care and
supervision of Jones Funeral Home, 70
Bridge Street, Sackville, NB. (506-364-1300) where a private
family service will be held on Wednesday, November 25, 2020 at 2

will be held at the funeral home once we are able to come together
