A Royal Canadian Navy Historical Project
In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
FRASER, Daryl Cedric - of Coldbrook, born on January 21, 1959 in Portage la Prairie, Man., passed away on Friday, February 21, 2020 doing one of the things he loved to do, snowmobiling with friends. Daryl's working career started off with him joining the Canadian Navy at 18 and enjoying the navy life for a few years before going to work with Michelin Canada for 20 years. At that point in life he was itching to be a entrepreneur and businessman. Daryl and his wife Kelly, together, they became Subway franchisees and for the past 25 years owned and operated four stores in Nova Scotia. Daryl, always civic minded, was an active member of the Coldbrook Community Association. Daryl had many varied interests. He loved technology; always interested in the newest and fastest way to do business of any kind. He had recently become a proud owner of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which was one of his lifelong dreams. He would just stand there and look at it with a big smile on his face, he couldn't believe he actually owned it. And, of course, it always had to be shiny with not a speck of dirt on it! Daryl always had a smile on his face, a story to share and a witty saying that you always remembered. He loved nothing more than to be with his Fraser and Bennett family, whether it was for a big family reunion or a phone call to a brother, aunt, uncle or cousin. For many years, Daryl and Kelly had a cottage at Sherbrook Lake, where they have lifelong friends of the best kind, who were always there for a laugh, a great meal, help of any kind and of course beer! He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to call him a friend, but especially his wife and business partner, Kelly, as well as his best friends, Marie and Jeff. Daryl was predeceased by his mother and father, Kathy and Fen Fraser and mother-in-law, Jean Akin. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Kelly; brothers, Dwight (Fay), New Brunswick; Jamie, Vancouver, B.C.; nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews; stepfather-in-law, John Akin; stepsister-in-law, Denise Akin; aunts, uncle and cousins. Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation, by request. The funeral service, followed by a reception, will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, February 28th in White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. A private interment will be held at a later date. Daryl was very close to his cousin, Margaret, who recently passed away from ovarian cancer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ovarian Cancer Research or a charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. (Halifax Chronicle-Herald 26 Feb 2020)
