We are beyond brokenhearted to share that Blane passed away at the Saint John Regional Hospital on September 12, 2025. He was born in Saint John on April 17, 1989, and is survived by his parents, Barry and Darlene, and his brother Brent.
Blane started playing sports at a young age, excelling in basketball and soccer, always giving his all on the court and on the field. He graduated from Simonds High School in 2007.
Blane was an outdoor enthusiast, and an avid gardener. He was very creative and enjoyed drawing and painting. He had a soft spot for all the furry friends that found their way into our yard, especially one little guy we call Cleo. Blane was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever he could.
As there won’t be any visitation or funeral service, if you wish to honour Blane’s memory, shoot some hoops, plant some forget-me-nots, or put up a bird feeder. Most of all be kind to yourselves and to others. As well, remembrances can be made to the Canadian Kidney Foundation.
Sincerest Thanks to everyone in the Dialysis Department at the Saint John Regional Hospital. You are second to none.
“Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared, and in the love, they have brought into our hearts.”
