Edward Prosser

1937-2017

Edward Prosser

  Surrounded by his family, Edward Gordon Prosser, 79, passed away peacefully on Feb 5, 2017 at Moncton City Hospital. 

  For 56 years Eddie was the beloved husband of Marilyn (Hicks) Prosser, the father of three loving and well loved children in Joanne (Jeff) Conrad, Steven (Wanda) Prosser, and Dawn (Greg) Geldart, and grandfather to four cherished grandchildren Alex, Katie, Russ, and Matt.  Born and raised in Petitcodiac, he was predeceased by his parents Ron and Irene Prosser, and sister Marion (late Herb) Hicks and brother Robert (lateDoreen) Prosser. 

  He is survived by siblings Mabel (Art) Smith, Sandra (Austin) Young, Dian Goddard, and Gerald (Debbie) Prosser.

Eddie loved to travel and see the country, and spent his career of many years behind the wheel of a transport truck, both in Canada and the US.  He extended his love of travel into his personal life where he was an avid camper for many years, making many memories from summer weekends at Pine Cone campground to winters spent in Florida and a cross Canada family adventure.  He was a long serving member of the Citation Indians trailer club.  Eddie never traveled far without one of his beloved dogs at his side, particularly Sam and Quincy who were the pride of his retirement years.

  Eddie was well known in Petitcodiac where he was a member of the Baptist Church, and spent many an hour with his friends at the local coffee shop where he was known for giving as good as he got.  He loved nothing more than a good community breakfast or dinner, and could be found many a weekend enjoying the company of friends and community. 

  The family wants to offer thanks to the excellent caregivers that supported Eddie in his last days, the team from Vitalaire, the staff at Extra Mural, and the palliative care team at the Moncton Hospital.

  A special thank you to Dr. Nayak who has been a wonderful support, Doctor, and friend to Eddie not just in his last days, but over the past 40 years.
