It is with sadness that the family of the late Fabian Augustine Curry announce his passing on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2014 at the Glace Bay Hospital following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Port Morien, he was the son of the late Mabel (MacDonald) and Rupert Curry.
Fabian was a boilermaker by trade and was a member of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Local 73. He was a member of St. Mary’s Parish in Port Morien. Fabian enjoyed hunting, spending time with his friends at Mike’s Lunch, tinkering with his tractor and watching the Montreal Canadiens. His most enjoyable moments came from spending time with his family. We were all blessed to experience his incredible sense of humour and wonderfully caring heart.

At Fabian’s request, cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held on Friday, Nov. 28, from 7-9 p.m. at Curry’s Glace Bay Funeral Home, 775 Main St. A funeral mass will be celebrated on Nov. 29, 10 a.m. at St. Mary’s Church in Port Morien. The Rev Norman MacPhee will be officiating.
Thanks to Dr. Ley, the nurses and staff of 3 West at the Glace Bay Hospital, the staff of the VON and the staff of palliative care
Special thanks to family friend, John 'Bear' Matheson, who was incredibly supportive to our family throughout our dad’s illness.
Dad always wanted children to have a special Christmas which is why he put a great deal of time and effort into his Christmas decoration display.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Christmas Daddies or Palliative Care.
