Obituary of David Alexander Nason

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my caring and loving husband, David Alexander Nason who passed on Friday, May 5, 2017 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. David is survived by his loving wife, Shirley M. Nason (Wood); daughter, Brenda L. Barford (John); son, D. Kent Nason (Teresa) and sister, Dr. Eileen Cambon; along with his six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. David worked as an operator/dispatcher with the CPR for 30 years. He had fond memories and always appreciated the help given to him by his former railroad buddies. An avid reader, David always dreamed of becoming an author. Coming from a railroad tradition, he accomplished that dream when his award winning book "Railways of New Brunswick" was published. David had a passion for the sea and sailing and spent many wonderful days sailing on the St. John River and Bay of Fundy. He was predeceased by his parents, Wallace and Eulah Nason; brother, John and sister, Margaret. The family wishes to thank. Dr. England and the caring nursing staff on 4BSouth at the Saint John Regional Hospital for the excellent care that was provided to him. As per David’s request, no visitation or funeral service will take place. Interment will take place at a later date. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Brenan’s Bay View Funeral Home, 1461 Manawagonish Road, West Saint John (634-7425). For those who wish, remembrances may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of NB.
