It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our father and husband, Stephen Damien Breen on Tuesday January 17, 2017 at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital , Antigonish.
Born the middle of five children to Arnold and Margaret Breen . Stephen was a lifelong resident of Cape Jack.
Stephen began his married life at the age of 32 to his beloved Colleen and together they were blessed with four boys. Stephen was honored to be their Dad, extremely proud as he watched them develop into fine young men. Stephen conveyed a grateful nature for his many blessing, Nora, his grand-daughter being the most recent, born in May 2015.
Golf was his hobby of choice along with playing cards especially cribbage with all who visited. Throughout his life, he formed, maintained and cherished numerous friendships. He was admired and loved by all who knew him. We are left with precious memories to comfort us during this time as we remember Stephen, celebrating his life, accomplishments, legacy, professional and personal contributions.
