Eric Lesley Coston

With heavy hearts, the family of Eric Coston announces his passing, which occurred peacefully on Sunday, September 26th, 2021, at the Saint John Regional Hospital, with his daughters by his side. Eric was born in Bath, NB on July 23, 1947; a son of the late George and Daisy (Archer) Coston, and the loving husband of the late Janet Coston, who predeceased him on August 5th, 2021. Eric was a self-employed carpenter, and enjoyed the great outdoors, whether that was hunting, fishing, camping, or geocaching. He made many missionary trips to Guatemala and the Dominican Republic with his church, and loved picking fiddleheads, and snowplowing. Surviving are his daughters; Kimberley Kilpatrick (Stanley), Cindy Clark (Jeannot), step-daughter Sharron McPhee (Jeffrey), step-son Michael Hayden, brother Archie Coston (Ruth), sister Edna Fitzherbert (Clarence), as well as grandchildren Kendra, Ryan, Christopher, Tyler, Jacob, Katie, Jack David, Jenna, and Jessica. Along with his wife and parents, Eric was pre-deceased by his daughter Tammy Coston, brother Alfred Coston, as well as his sisters Rita Grant, Opal Fitzherbert, Marguerite Coston, and Joyce Coston.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road, Saint John (646-2424).
