Donald Hume

Born on May 11th, 1939 in Moncton NB, he is the son of the late Charles and Edith Hume.

Donald is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Julie; his brother Dale Hume (Kilby); his sister-in-law Bernie Hume. In addition, he will be deeply missed by nephews and nieces Jaime Hume (Amy), Marla Hume (Craig), Kaisa Valiquette (Craig), Alison Paixao (John), Dawson Hume (Rachael) and many grand nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Donald is predeceased by his brother Cecil Hume; his sister-in-law Marie Hume; niece Tanya Hume; grand nephew Cohen Valiquette; and his favorite furry friends, Patches and Goldie.

In his younger years, Don worked at the CKNB radio station in Campbellton. He had a golden voice that was very soothing and was known to many as having the best “radio voice”. Later, he worked for the Canada Postal Services where he remained until his retirement.

In 1996, he was inducted into Campbellton’s Sports Hall of Fame for his love and dedication to the local youth. Don started the Speed Demons Soccer Club and was very proud of his time coaching and mentoring youth in Campbellton. He would often tell stories about the good ol’ days when they would win soccer games and even go undefeated for a season.

Don was an active member of First Baptist Church in Campbellton and both he and Julie enjoyed fellowshipping with their church family.

We would like to thank those individuals for helping Don and Julie with care and drives. We are also very grateful to everyone who has been so supportive to Julie through phone calls, meals, and most importantly prayers.

We would also like to thank the staff at the Campbellton Regional Hospital, Palliative Care Unit. They were able to set up video calls with family so we could all give our love to Don as his journey Home began. Their care, compassion, and empathy shown to Don and Julie during this time went above and beyond.

We love and miss you and we look forward to seeing you again.

Visitation will be held at the First Baptist Church in Campbellton on Friday August 5th from 1:30 until the time of service at 3:30.

Interment will be at the Rural cemetery after the service
