MCISAAC, STEPHEN DONALD - 1955 - 2014 - It is with great sadness and endless love that we announce the death of Stephen Donald McIsaac, within the comfort of his home, on Thursday, May 15, 2014.
Born in Moncton, he was the first of five children and only son of the late Donald and Georgie McIsaac. Stephen was employed, with great pride, with Modern Construction for 37 years. He was Founder and Past President of Tri-County Ground Search & Rescue, Past President Atlantic Chapter ISEE, Past President Canadian Explosive Association, Provincial NB Blasting Instructor and Examiner, Provincial Member of Blaster Advisor Board, Past Hunter Safety Instructor, Provincial NB Licensed Guide, Explosive Training Instructor for Safety Inspectors for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Stephen loved helping others and teaching them the skills of hunting. Being in the woods brought him great peace to his mind, body and soul. He worked extremely hard all his life to provide for his family and friends. He would never hesitate to drop everything to help someone out. For those who have had the opportunity to truly know him and cherish him, knew he was a man of honor and principle, who lived his life on his own terms, but deep down he was just a teddy bear. He will be fondly remembered for his devotion to his family and friends and his occasional visit with the “Captain”.
Stephen will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 37 years, Deborah McIsaac; and his precious daughters, Christine and Jenilee McIsaac (Chad Steeves) of Moncton. He especially loved his grand dog, Piper, who was always overjoyed to see Grampa; four devoted sisters, Doreen Carde (Ed) of Stratford, ON, Monica Symes (Mervin) of Shediac, Donna Willis (David) of Surrey, BC and Patricia Hocking (Jeff) of Ajax, ON. Lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, sisters and brothers-in-law and many, many friends. The family extends a sincere Thank You to Dr. Assi, Dr. Haché, Dr. Salloum and all the nurses for the unconditional care that he received during his 28 months of treatment.
Visitation at Fergusons Funeral Home, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (858-1995) on Sunday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. A service celebrating Stephen’s life will be held at Fergusons Funeral Home Chapel on Monday, May 19, 2014 at 11:00 am, with Rev. Allison Carroll officiating.
