Dwaine Kent Urquhart

Surrounded by family at home, Dwaine Kent Urquhart of Keswick Ridge passed away peacefully on his own terms after dealing with cancer. Amazing loving partner of Jennifer Wilkins; son of Ronald and Marie Urquhart of Pugwash NS; brother to Leslie Urquhart (Ron Jordan) and Brent Urquhart; uncle to Chase, Gracen, Holly and Kaylee of Hammonds Plains, NS; aunts, uncles and numerous cousins spread far and wide: too many to name but he loved you all even if he didn’t say it!

If you had a plumbing problem and went to the local hardware store on the Fredericton northside in the last 7 years, you may have dealt with Dwaine who attempted to help many customers ‘macgyver’ solutions to their problems. Thank you to all of his supportive co-workers for the laughs had over the years.

He spent his lunch hours at his mother in law Deanna Phillips home, a short distance from work, where for a little less than an hour, they would engage in Festivus style conversations, each believing that at the end, they had bested the other.

Dwaine and I were lucky enough to have several years battling each other most Friday nights around the 45’s table.  Special shout out to his card partner Mike Arsenault, and my card partner, Carrie Beaumaster, for the shared times together that got us through the work week. When our ‘5 ^th spare’ Lilah Arsenault joined our table 8 years ago, she made it so much better.

Special thank you to Dr Dickson for believing him; Dr Pawluk and Dr Boisvert; Dr Galvis and the DECH oncology unit; Dr Goodyear and Dr MacDonald, 3E and 4NW nurses, extra mural nurses and Dr Kelsey Cameron. Your support will never be forgotten.

As music often gives us the soundtrack to our lives over the years, growing up as teenagers in the 80’s provided us with a bevy of rock ballads to select from, often getting two lines in and then saying “okay, I’m good.” On the ‘last to the last’ day of Dwaine’s life, I asked him to sing me the whole chorus of his favorite, ‘angel eyes’; it was the most beautiful moment of our lives together.

Be kind to one another.
