- It is with great sadness that the family of Douglas Marshall Irvine announces his passing on November 6th at the age of 68 years.
He was predeceased by his parents Lt. Colonel Arthur Marshall Irvine M.B.E, CD (born in St. John, NB) and Margaret Mona (McMaster) Irvine (born in Montreal, QC); and nephew, Marshall Webb.
Doug will be remembered by the countless lives he touched across 30 years as an educator at Hantsport School and through his extensive involvement in the communities where he resided. He took great pride in leading and participating in numerous clubs, organizations, sports teams, hosting decades of Dart Tournaments and litter cleanups. He also donated his time and efforts to the Harbourview Cottagers’ Association, Smiths Cove Cemetery Board, Smiths Cove Museum and the Order of St. Lazarus.
The family would like to thank all of those who gave their love, time and positivity through difficult times. Thank you to Heather, Bruce and Tyler Horne for their unwavering support. We thank the dedicated team of personal care workers, Amber Phillips and the palliative care team, the oncology team from both the QEII and Kentville hospitals, VON, and the extensive list of friends and family who supported us along this journey.
Safe journey Doug, Dad, Babudee, Duck, Doogie, D.
Respects can be paid at the Irvine residence in Hantsport between 2:00 - 6:00 pm on Tuesday, November 10th with a celebration of life to follow at the cottage in August 2021.
Memorial donations may be made to Nova Scotia Nature Trust (nsnt.ca) to help support Doug’s vision of sustainability.
