Derek Allen Capstick
Passed on: May 19th, 2019
Derek Allen Capstick, age 42, of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, passed away on May 19, 2019 surrounded by family. Derek’s battle with cancer was short but courageous.
Born in Cape Breton on January 16, 1977, he is survived by his loving parents, Claude and Patricia Capstick (nee Allen); his brother and friend, Ian and sister-in-law, Kelly (Greg, Colby and Shelby); his fiancé, Kyla (Sophie); best friend but more like a brother, John O’Rourke, and half-brother, Matt Parker (Michelle, Julianna and Noah).
Derek grew up to be a hard worker with a strong work ethic. Over the years, he has earned the respect of many a truck driver and worked for numerous companies, but it was Cherubini where he spent most of his career. He prided himself on being someone you could always count on to get the job done.
In his spare time, Derek enjoyed spending time with his dogs, Sydney and Breton, riding his motorcycle, yearly Wharf Rat rallies with John or just being in his garage, planning his next project.
Derek had a good heart. He was a great provider and loved his family. He was a wonderful father figure to Sophie and known as “Uncle Dee” to Greg, Colby and Shelby. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.
Funeral will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, May 24 at the Cole Harbour Funeral Home located at 1234 Cole Harbour Rd.
