ALWARD, BENJIE - It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Benjie Lee Alward at the Jordan Life Care Center on Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Born on August 27, 1978, he was the son of Gerry and Carol (nee Steeves) Alward. Besides his parents, Benjie leaves behind several aunts, uncles and cousins, as well as his lifelong friend Angie, and his very special aunt Linda who brought so much joy to his life. He also leaves behind his caregiving family at the Jordan Life Care Center who took care of him with love and devotion. A great pastime of his was listening to country music with his dad and caregivers. Benjie also enjoyed listening to his mom reading him stories. Those who knew him well treasured his beautiful spirit. He taught us about life, unconditional love and compassion. He will live forever in our memories for his unique sense of humor and his exemplary life. Benjie was an incredible teacher; teaching patience, humor and devotion without saying a single word. We are so fortunate to have had him in our lives. Dear Benjie, thank you for 35 years that we were blessed to have you. Benjie was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Charlotte and Lee Steeves and paternal grandparents, Donald and Eva Alward.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Armstrong’s Funeral Home, 33 Russell Street, Petitcodiac, from where the family will be receiving friends on Thursday, January 30, 2014 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. The funeral service will be held at the Petitcodiac Baptist Church on Friday, January 31, 2014 at 2 pm with Pastor David Woodworth presiding. Donations to the Jordan Lifecare Centre or to the donors’ choice would be appreciated by the family. On-line condolences are available at www.armstrongsfh.com.
