It is with great sadness that we announce the
passing of Bertil (Bert) Karl Blomquist,
age 82, of Sackville, NB at the Drew Nursing Home on Friday, March 17,
2023.
Bert was born and raised in Eskilstuna, Sweden, and
left during his teenage years to travel and eventually move to
Canada. Bert
lived in Toronto, Vancouver, Cape Breton, Ottawa, and Summerside,
before settling in Sackville nine years ago. Bert joined the Canadian
Military at a young age and was an active member for many years,
reaching officer level. In his younger years, Bert
enjoyed artistry and many sports including soccer and tennis, and
loved going on road trips with his motorcycle. Bert was an accountant and
worked for both provincial and federal governments for many
years. He was a
simple man with a very dry sense of humor, and he will be dearly
missed.
Bert leaves behind his loving wife of almost 25
years, Georgina (Gina) Blomquist of Sackville, his son, Karl (Tracey)
Blomquist, his stepchildren, Karen (Matthew) Piercey and Andy (Rachel)
Crosby, his grandsons, Jordan, Shane, and Devon Blomquist, his
step-grandchildren, Cameron, Reid, and Isla Piercey and
Èvie and Noélie Ariey-Crosby, and his half
brother Hans-Egon Larsson, from Sweden.
Bert was predeceased by his parents Astrid
Johannsson and Sven Blomkvist, and his brother Sven-Åke
Blomkvist, from Sweden.
The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude
to the dedicated staff who took such great care of Bert during his
short time at the Drew Nursing Home.
Donations in memory of Bert may be made to the Drew
Nursing Home.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance
of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge
Street, Sackville, NB (506-364-1300). Honouring Bert’s wishes,
cremation has taken place and a small service will be held at a later
