TARBOX, Wade H.

Age 74 of Gold River passed away Saturday June 5, 2021 at South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater.

Raised in Martins Point, former employee of Farmers Dairy, Moosehead Breweries and finally retired from Halifax Regional Municipality.

He had many hobbies such as wood turning, fishing, and gardening. He enjoyed an annual fishing trip to Mooseland and the Nova Scotia Salmon Association dinners. There was not a yard sale that he would pass by, he could always find a treasure to pass along to the many people who meant so much to him. Wade would drop everything to help family and friends. He made an impression on everyone in his path, helping so many people along the way. He was a dedicated family man, spending 40 years with the love of his life Shirley. They enjoyed travelling and going for drives around the province. He especially loved spending time with his grandson Zachary and grand dog Scooby. He was very proud of his two boys. Trips to Tim Hortons in Chester and Mahone Bay and feeding the ducks became a weekly tradition with him and his boys.

Wade was predeceased by his wife Shirley, father Frank, brother Oran.

Survived by his Christopher (Tracy), grandson Zachary, mother Marion, brothers Brian (Janet), Gary, sister Karry Lynn (Travis), nephew Craig (Haley), nieces Josie and Karley.

Funeral services will be scheduled at a later date, arrangements will be communicated through Mahone Funeral Home.

Donations can be made in Wade’s honor to two places close to his heart, the Canadian Cancer Society and the IWK.

Wade’s family would like to thank the staff of South Shore Regional Hospital for the care they provided to Wade during his stay.
