Edgar Blaine Steeves
2022-2022
It is with a heavy heart and deep appreciation of a life
well-lived, that we announce the passing of Edgar BLAINE Steeves of
Hillsborough. Blaine passed away suddenly at home on January 12, 2022.
Born in Hillsborough, he was the son of the late Gordon D. and Elva
(Crossman) Steeves. Besides his parents, he is predeceased by his
brother, Glendon Steeves.
Blaine had a full and diverse career. He served his country
with the Royal Canadian Air Force for 15 years. In the early
80’s he became the Maritime Sales Manager for Stanley Tools,
traveling around Atlantic Canada. He eventually retired from sales
with Amerock Hardware in 1993. It was then that he fulfilled his
calling and true passion; entering into ministry and becoming a
Pastor. He along with his wife Cynthia faithfully served as Clergy for
Shantyman International in their prison and ports outreach. Blaine
pastored churches in Canaan Station, Alma, and Weldon, New Brunswick.
He eventually retired from pastoring in 2019 due to failing health.
Blaine enjoyed four-wheeling, playing his guitar, and time spent with
his grandchildren. He loved and deeply missed his little dog
Maggie.
Left to cherish his memory is his beloved wife of 58 years,
Cynthia Steeves, daughters Susan (Anthony Reeder) and Sharon (late
Anthony Owings), sisters Myrna Stevens and Carol Steeves-Wilson,
grandchildren Matthew, Freya, and Emily, as well as several nieces and
nephews. Donations in his memory may be made to Weldon Baptist Church
or the charity of the donor’s choice.
Due to current Covid 19 restrictions, a visitation and
service will take place at a later date at Cobb’s Funeral
Home and Cremation Centre, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (869-2007) to
