It is with great sadness that we
announce the passing of Jason (Jay) Henry Joseph, 45, on Friday June
17, 2022, due to complications following heart transplant surgery.
Born in Cambridge ON, he was the son of Henry and Bernadette (St.
John) Penney of Newfoundland.
Jason retired from the Canadian Armed
Forces on February 16, 2019 at the rank of Captain, after a
distinguished career of 21 years of service as a Combat
Engineer. He served with the 2 Combat Engineer Regiment, the
4th Canadian Division Support Base, 37 Canadian Brigade Group
Headquarters and Canadian Forces School of Military
Engineering. As part of his many military achievements, he
deployed on two international deployments: as a Combat Diver on TF
Kosovo, in 1999 and as an Combat Engineer section 2IC on TF Kabul in
2005. Amongst his many qualifications, Jason was very proud
to be a Combat Diver Supervisor, Airborne Parachutist, Explosive and
Demolition Specialist and LAV III Crew Commander. He was an
elite soldier and an excellent leader.
Following his career in the Canadian
Armed Forces, Jason was hired as a surveillance officer for the
National Aerial Surveillance Program (NASP) – Atlantic Region in
February, 2019. Although Jason was hired as a Surveillance Officer he
also held a private pilot’s license and loved to fly as part
of the NASP crew. Each and every day that Jason participated in a
flight he reminded his fellow crewmembers “life
doesn’t get any better than this
boys!” Jason loved life and lived it to the
fullest. He welcomed any and all challenges. He
was the most likeable and positive person you could ever meet: a
steadfast friend to all. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle
with his friends and canoe camping with his family. Jason, thank you
for your service to Canadians, you will be sadly missed and your
memory cherished.
Besides his parents, Jason leaves
behind his cherished wife of 14 years, Danie Bujold, and his two
beautiful daughters, Éliane and Mia, at home; three
sisters: Karen Penney (Jason Rodgers) of Kitchener, ON, Heather Penney
of Cambridge, ON, and Bernadette Jr. Penney (Cody Gorman) of
Woodstock, ON; one brother, Kyle (Jenna Messier) of Cambridge, ON; as
well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and
friends.
The family will receive condolences at
Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton
(858-1900) where the funeral service will be celebrated on Saturday
June 25 at 10:30 am. Visiting hours are Friday June 24 from 6 to 8 pm
