Dempsey, Brendan Joseph – Age 55, passed away peacefully at his home in Head of Chezzetcook on December 9, 2017, after a courageous battle against diabetes and cancer. He has gone to be with his saviour, Jesus Christ.
Brendan was a man of great faith, integrity, wisdom and generosity. His convictions to do what’s right and help others were strong. Through his simple gestures and entertaining stories (of which there was no shortage), he spread kindness to friends and strangers alike.
He spent countless hours walking, exploring and gathering a deep awareness of his surrounding environment. This was revealed through his work. As an accomplished artist, Brendan was given the gift of capturing all of nature’s wonder and beauty in his paintings. Brendan was a people person. He loved a challenge and to challenge others.
He had a great love of family, and to those who are left behind he will be greatly missed. Brendan is survived by his wife and best friend, Bernadette; his pillars of strength, wisdom and kindness, his parents, Brendan and Annette Dempsey; his devoted brothers and sisters, Kevin (Judy), Michelle (Alan), Denise (Scott), John Paul (Wanda), his precious Odette (Pierre); many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews; his adopted stepfamily, the Desmonds: Jennifer (Derek), Jamie, Joshua, his special angel, Brianna; Cynthia and Ernie Nordin; sister-in-law, Liz Williams.
Funeral will be at 1 p.m. on Thursday, December 14, in Lake Echo Fellowship Baptist Church, 17 Peter Ct., Mineville. Donations may be made to Bibles for Missions, 31 Temple Terrace, Lower Sackville, NS B4C 0B5. Many thanks to countless friends for their love, support and comfort during his illness, especially Seana Mills and Susan Day. We cannot praise enough the Palliative Team of Eastern Shore. Thank you all.
In his memory, take a walk on the beach with your loved ones and make a toast to enduring friendships, lifelong and beyond. That is what Brendan would wish.
