Mark Anthony McCabe – 65, North River, passed away suddenly
on Sunday, July 31, 2022, as a result of a heart attack, while
enjoying time on the deck at his cottage in Marshville, accompanied by
his best friend, Shelley Cameron and friends.
Mark leaves behind his siblings, Danny McCabe, Vancouver,
British Columbia; Patty Hunt, Truro; Cheryl MacKenzie (David) Onslow
Mountain; his partner, Shelley Cameron, North River (her children,
Jacob and Olivia); mother of his children, Brenda (Buckler) McCabe,
Truro; his children, Kyle McCabe, Greenfield; Jessica McCabe, Truro;
Holly McCabe, Truro; grandchildren, Chloe McCabe, Cali McCabe, Ruby
Higgins; nieces and nephew, Rebecca McCulloch, Sarah Lynds and Alex
MacKenzie.
Born in Truro, he was the loving son of the late Ernest and
Marie (Gullens) McCabe. In earlier years, Mark worked construction in
Edmonton, Alberta. While in Edmonton, he cycled through the Rocky
Mountains and camped outside; this took him 38 days to complete, and
he kept a journal of his adventures. Mark loved to relive memories of
his varies antidotes and adventures with his family and friends. When
he returned from Alberta, he worked for Gordon Matthews building
houses and then became self employed as a house painter and
residential property owner.
In Mark’s earlier days he played hockey/broomball
and rugby. He enjoyed all seasons with his love of outdoor activities
– hunting, fishing/boating, snowmobiling and roughing it at his solar
camp.
Mark’s greatest joy was being a father and supporting his
three children in motor crossing and all of the great memories they
made.
A celebration of Mark’s life will be held later. If so
desired, donations in Mark’s memory to Colchester Food Bank are
welcomed.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner
Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Private messages of condolence
