Clarke, Ignatius Henry (Nish)
1941-2021
Born: Bell Island NL
It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our
soldier, husband, father and Gramps on May 15, 2021 after a short
battle with cancer. Nish served his country with pride
retiring as a warrant officer with the Airborne regiment in 1976. Upon
his retirement he accepted a position as security director of the
precious metals company, Johnson Matthey in Brampton where he worked
for 31 years. Nish was predeceased by his parents Michael
and Bell Clarke and two of his beautiful sisters, Mary (Lloyd) Brunton
and Dole (Gerry) Clouthier. He leaves behind the love of his
life and soul mate of 44 years Elaine Boland Clarke, his adored
children Nyshea (Jeff) Brown and Jeffrey (Heather) Clarke as well as
his beloved grandchildren: Quinn Brown, Kehanah Brown,
Kiefer Clarke, Kolby Clarke, Korah Clarke and his step-grandchildren
Hannah, Deliah and Ellis, and his former daughter-in-law Destinee
Clarke; his brothers John (Renee) Clarke, Jim (Elinor) Clarke, Tom
(Jeannette) Clarke and sister Marie (Art) Cummings; his
brothers-in-law John (Colleen) Boland, Fred (Mona) O’Quinn
and sisters-in-law Kathleen (Ray) Bartlett, Rita (Ewart) Rose, Marion
(Walt) Normore, Frances (Jerry) Sweeney and Mona (Fred) Vreeland and
Chrissy (Dave) Boland. For the past 14 years Nish and Elaine
wintered in Florida where they became part of the Paradise Shores
family who always welcomed them with open arms.
Nish enjoyed life to the fullest and had no
regrets. The family would like to
thank the doctors and nurses at CMH as well as all the help and
support we received from the palliative care team, especially his
nurse Ram who helped the family beyond measure and to whom we will be
forever grateful. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of
Nish’s life will be held at a future date. Donations if
desired, may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the charity
of your choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Ignatius Henry Nish Clarke 19412021..
