With broken hearts his family announces
that, David Wayne Estabrooks, 75, of
Sackville, NB, passed away at the Sackville Memorial Hospital on
September 22, 2023.
David was born in Sackville, son of the
late Everett and Lina Estabrooks.
Dave enjoyed everything sports related.
Growing up he played hockey and baseball. He also enjoyed coaching his
son’s hockey teams and umpiring at the local baseball fields in the
summer. He played for the Sackville Combines and the Amherst Ramblers
Hockey Teams. He was a man of few words but was always up for a chat
about last nights’ game. He was a die-hard Montreal Canadians fan but
did not brag about that often. He enjoyed spending time outside,
fishing, picking fiddleheads, mushroom foraging, and taking in the sun
at the beach.
Dave worked as a Labourer for the Town
of Sackville for over 30 years and retired in 2016. He then filled his
days with long drives, coffee time with friends, and following his
grandson all over the province for football. Saturdays were for
cheering on the Mountie football team and Saturday nights were spent
at the rink watching the Ramblers.
David will be missed by his two
children; Alison L. Estabrooks, Sackville; Darren M. Estabrooks,
Moncton; their mother, Patricia (Bill) Drysdale; grandchildren, Dylan
and Felicity; brother, Everett (Pat) Estabrooks; his special niece,
Patti (Dale) Sears; sister-in-law Melanie (Bruce) Megeney;
as well as several extended family members and close friends. He was a
very private person and liked to keep to himself, but becoming a
grandfather softened his rough edges. Dylan and Felicity were his
pride and joy and he loved them beyond what his words could
express.
Special thank you to Dr. Do, George
Dumont Hospital; Dr. Julie Arsenault, and Dr. Eve St. Hilaire, George
Dumont Oncology Clinic; Dr. Jenny Lim, Moncton City Hospital; Dr.
Beatrice Milne, Sackville, Dr. Graeme Stewart and the Sackville

thank Donna Landry for her care and support over the past three
years.

time.
