Jackie Max Somers, husband of Barbara (MacColl) Somers of Black River Bridge, NB, passed away at Miramichi Regional Hospital, on Friday, April 22, 2022, at the age of 85.
Born in Matthew Settlement, on March 23, 1937, he was the son of the late Wilson and Ida (Hamilton) Somers. Jack was a member of The Point Church, and a dedicated worker for over 30 years with Custom Paving. He was always up for a board game or a fun game of cards. He loved word searches and he must have seen every Western from the 1930s-1950s. He loved visitors, he was a quiet listener who loved having people around. He loved spending time with his grandchildren.
