Hudson "Coady" MacDonald

Hudson “Coady” MacDonald, 45, Tower Road N.S. Passed away suddenly on August 14th, 2024 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital in Sydney, N.S. Born in Charlottetown PEI on October 21st, 1978 (but a Cape Bretoner always), he is survived by his mother, Brenda MacDonald (Musick) of Tower Road, daughter Nicole MacDonald of Glace Bay, brothers Tyler of Stratford ON., Lawrence (Lisa) of St. Marys ON., nieces Charlise, Hayden, and Haillie, nephews Nathan and Lukas. Coady was predeceased by his father, Angus MacDonald.

Coady was a loving, sometimes complicated man that loved his family immensely. He had a charming personality and was the life of the party wherever he went. He made friends easily, wherever he was, and had lots of them. He lived life to the fullest. Coady was a lover not a fighter, however bowed down to no man. Coady was a very hardworking man, and was known to always be very handy. He worked different jobs over the years and was often at the top of his profession, whichever it was at the time. Most notably, Coady spent time working in the oil patch for High Arctic Fracking or as an oil burner technician. Whether Coady was working ‘out west’ or simply doing roofing, carpentry, or other odd jobs, he always strived to be at the top of his game, the very best. Coady had a deep love of the outdoors, especially being at ‘the cabin’ in Upper Grand Mira with his family. He absolutely loved fishing and would never pass up the opportunity to be out on the water casting a line. We know for sure he is casting one with his dad right now, always looking for the big one.

The family would like to express thanks to all medical staff from top to bottom for their efforts the evening of August 14th. Anyone who wishes to give donations can do so directly to the family, or to the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia. "If others wonder where I’ve gone missing, just tell them that I’m gone fishin".

A memorial service/celebration of life will take place from 3:00 - 4:30 pm, August 2, 2025 at Pattens Funeral Home. Those who wish to attend may contact the family for more details. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family by visiting www.pattenfuneral.com.
