Peacefully, Mervyn McBride went home into the arms of Jesus, on the morning of December 5, 2019 at Southbrook Retirement Community, at the age of 91, with family by his side. Beloved husband of the late Eleanor McBride for 65 wonderful years. Loving father of Leslie, Douglas, Doreen and Louise, their spouses, twelve grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. He had a passion for woodworking, clocks and everything in need of repair. The sound of his baritone voice, his guitar and fiddle playing will echo in our hearts forever. The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff of Southbrook Retirement Community for their exceptional loving care. Merv will be greatly missed by members of his extended family, close friends and all who knew him.
The family will receive friends on Monday, December 9, 2019, from 10am-12pm, followed by a funeral service at 12 p.m. at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 44 Church St. E, Brampton, Ontario. Private interment. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Canadian Cancer Society.
