David Blount

It is with great sadness the family of David Allison Blount, loving husband of 45 years to Margaret (Mitchell) Blount, announce his passing which occurred on January 30, 2020 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born on July 19th, 1952, he was the son of the late Cyril and Jennie Viola (Brooks) Blount.

David spent over 20 years working at the Dry Dock as a boiler maker. He thought the world of his family and enjoyed joking around with his grandchildren. David loved to instigate and tease his grandchildren and go for walks out back to look at old smokey or the infamous bus. He was an avid gardener and enjoyed feeding his pet crow and the neighbourhood cats.

David will be remembered as a wonderful husband, father, great friend and neighbour.
