Malcolm “Mac” Richard Blundon
July 2, 1951 – February 5, 2022
Passed peacefully away on February 5, 2022, aged 70 years, at the L.A. Miller Centre, following a courageous battle with glioblastoma and in the presence of his loving family. Leaving to mourn his wife and the love of his life, Judy; daughter, Courtney (Denis); son, Chad; grandchildren, Alexa and Owen; sisters and brothers, Eliza (Harvey – deceased), Sid (Shelley), Ron (Penny-Lee), and Teann (Paul); brother- and sisters-in-law, Mike (Christine), Linda (Bill), Cathy (Don), Diane (Don), and Gail; many nieces and nephews; and a large circle of extended family and friends. He is predeceased by his mother, Miriam; father, James; and sister, Betty (Will – deceased).
The eternal optimist, Mac fought various cancers in his life and faced each one with the same positive attitude that he brought to everything he did. Special thanks to all of the family and friends that helped him through his health challenges by providing care and gifts of food, spending time playing cards, taking him for drives, or phoning or texting to provide love, encouragement and support.
Mac loved to spend time on or just outside a squash court and to coach and encourage others, taking a special interest in beginners trying to learn the game. His favorite things to do included fishing, picking blueberries for hours on end, dancing, hunting, and riding his motorcycle or quad, but most of all being a Poppy. He was a very hard worker and lived for his family, who will miss him beyond measure.
Cremation has taken place and he is resting at Caul’s Funeral Home. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no visitation and a private funeral service will be by invitation only. Inurnment will take place at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy, donations in Mac’s memory may be made to The Gathering Place. The family will have a celebration of Mac’s life at a later date, with details to follow.

Death notice for the town of: Torbay, Province: T-N
Dearest Judy, we were both so sad to hear of Mac’s untimely passing… he was a kind soul and we will always remember the lovely afternoon spent in our backyard when you visited us in Ottawa. And, more recently when Robert returned to visit his native St John’s at the age of 86 and Mac acted as the unofficial photographer taking so many memories for us all to share. Just such a kind soul …he will be missed by all of his family.
