Obituaries

It is with deep sadness I announce the passing of Donald (Don) George Emerson on August 21, 2023 (formerly of Lloydminster, SK) at the Central NB Nursing Home in Boisetown, NB.
Don served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 25 years in the Tank Corp. He was a very proud Lord Strathcona Horse Soldier and a long-lasting Royal Canadian Dragoon. He loved gunnery and his Leopard Tank. Following his retirement, he then worked for the Calgary Police Force as their Recovery Tow Truck driver. He was respected by many of his co-workers and anyone who knew him. He took great pride in helping others. He was also an avid hunter and enjoyed many all- season camping excursions to relax.
Don is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Kim; two daughters, Tracy (Larry) and Jamie (Dave), a grandson Cole, a granddaughter Aspen, and three sisters: Lorna (Dave), Shirley (Ken) and Margaret (Gordon).
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by two brothers and three sisters.
According to Don’s wishes there will be no service and he will be cremated and returned home to Alberta for his final resting place. A private graveside service will be held at that time.
In Don’s memory, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society and messages of condolence can be sent through our website: www.miramichifunerals.ca
Funeral arrangements are under the care of Jardine Funeral Home, 597 Old King George Highway, Miramichi, NB. Telephone: 506-622-7464 or 506-622-3600.
Special Thanks to all the amazing nurses and staff at the Central NB Nursing Home for the wonderful care Don received during his time in their care.
