Obituary of John Guy Charest
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Guy Charest, 90, of Berwick, NS, at home on September 18, 2024. Born on January 16, 1934, in Edmundston, NB, John was the son of the late Wilfrid and Alice (Lebel) Charest.
John served in the Royal Canadian Air Force for 21 years. He enjoyed playing sports, such as golf (he made 3 holes in one during his “career”!), and hockey, having played in several provinces, as well as Germany and Washington, DC. He scored his final goal on his 83rd birthday against his buddy Kevin in the Berwick 50 and Over Shinny league. You can find John in the Berwick Sports Hall of Fame (2008). After retiring from hockey at 84 to care for his wife, Brenda, John took up dancing, sometimes by himself, with Brenda or with The Moose aka the “Big Guy” at the Windermere Jamboree. Although John never claimed to be good at sports or dancing, he always had a great time. John was a lover of cats and always had at least one. He was also a people person and was always grateful for all the friends that he had made.
John is survived by his loving wife, Brenda (Blakeney).
At John’s request, there will not be a service. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. For those wishing, donations may be made to your local SPCA. Arrangements have been entrusted to Serenity Funeral Home, 34 Coldbrook Village Park Dr, Coldbrook, NS B4R 1B9 (902-679-2822).
