It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden but
peaceful passing of Allan Alexander Rouse on Saturday, June 11,
2022. Allan was born in Inverness on August 7, 1964 to the
late Allan and Shirley (Nock) Rouse of River Denys.
Allan was devoted to his wife Allison and children; Avery and
Reid and they were always his priority. Allan was known by
many names, some of which were Daddo, Popstar, Buddy, Hubs, Alibaba
babs and so many more. Allan was a friend to so
many. There was nothing Allan wouldn’t do for his
family and friends. In many cases, Allan was the first call
if something needed to be done or someone needed help. He
always answered on the first ring because his phone was never
far! He was fiercely loyal to his family and friends (and
had a special place in his heart for his dog Chase and his cats). If
possible, his heart was bigger then him.
Allan loved going on family vacations, Sunday
drives, trips to Tim’s – most mornings being first
in line! He loved Christmas, Mother’s Day were his
favorite holidays because it gave him extra special occasions to honor
his family. Known for his colorful expressions and his sheer honesty,
Allan was a loving, kind and generous man who didn’t need
much for himself.
Allan worked almost 40 years with the Department of
Transportation and Infrastructure. Along the way he made
numerous long-time friends across Cape Breton and
beyond.
Allan is survived by his loving wife; Allison, daughter;
Avery and son; Reid. Also survived by son Matthew Fitzgerald
(Amy) and granddaughter; Sophia, siblings; Willie (Joan) Rouse,
Kathleen (Brian) Richardson, Leslie (Tammy) Rouse, Richard (Margie)
Rouse, Jennifer (Richard) LeDuc, mother-in-law; Rachel MacKinnon and
numerous nieces and nephews. Allan was predeceased by his
parents; Allie and Shirley Rouse and Grandmother in law; Nellie
MacKinnon.
The family would like to thank the Home Care nurses (Paula,
Meaghan and Rachel), the Home Care Support team (Arlene, Laurie and
Jolie) Lori-Ann Gillis, Lyndsey Drozdowski, Dr. Ritter, Dr.
MacCormick, the staff at the Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital
and his mother-in-law Rachel MacKinnon.
