Craig Barnett
1979-2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Craig
Edward Barnett, age 41, of Hampton, NB, announces his death which
occurred on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at the Saint John Regional
Hospital. Born in Sus, NB, on June 17, 1979 he was the son
of Lesley Perry (John Perry) and the late James
Barnett.
Craig is survived by his much loved and cherished wife of 17 years,
Sara (Touchie) Barnett; his beloved sons: Aidan, Cohen and Ewan;
brother Brian Barnett (Samantha Robichaud), and niece Anna of
Fredericton, NB; sister Tara Barnett (Derek Ram), nephew Noah and
niece Lauren of Calgary, AB; mother-in-law Debbie Touchie; brother-
in-law Adam Touchie; and half-brother Chris Barnett of Ottawa,
ON.
Craig is remembered by friends and family as a dedicated father and
friend, who loved to spend his time outdoors and followed his
boys’ sports with enthusiasm. He graduated from Mount
Allison University where he studied Economics. He was a trusted team
member for co-workers at the Irving Pulp & Paper Mill and his
long-standing rugby team, the Belleisle Rovers. He could often be
found working away on projects around the house, or making
questionable choices of hockey favourites to win the Stanley Cup.
Craig loved to open his home and it was the frequent meeting place for
friends and family for backyard parties and bonfires.
