In Loving Memory of Burton A. Dumaresq

1941 – 2024

Burton Allan Dumaresq (b. August 18, 1941 in Halifax NS, d. April 6, 2024) of Miramichi passed away at the Miramichi Regional Hospital on April 6, 2024, at the age of 82.

Born in Halifax, NS, on August 18, 1941, he was the son of the late Alan and Geraldine (Wells) Dumaresq.

Retired Canadian Airforce 1959-1985. In service of his country, Burton’s dedication and commitment were unwavering. Burton served in Canada and as a Peacekeeper in the Middle East. Educating children about Remembrance Day became Burton’s passion, instilling an understanding of the sacrifices made by veterans and the importance of honoring their memory.

His faith in the Lord Jesus Christ guided his every step, shaping him into a man of integrity and kindness.

He was predeceased by his parents, Alan and Geraldine, and his son, Scott.

Burton leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. For 63 years, he stood by his beloved wife, Alice, and together they nurtured their cherished daughter, Carla Dumaresq (Teresa Love). Burton is also survived by his sisters: Charlyne Swan (Larry Swan), and Cheryl Bremner (Denis Bremner); as well as his extended family of nieces and nephews.

Burton’s warm smile, humor and quick wit endeared him to all who knew him, making him a beacon of light in the lives of many. Today, as we bid farewell to a true patriot and faithful servant, we find solace in knowing that Burton’s spirit lives on in the memories and hearts of those he touched.

May the Lord bless you and keep you; may he make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.  Numbers 6:24-26
