Myatt, Bernard Isaac – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing our father and brother, Bernie of Westville on May 14, 2023 at the age of 81.
Born in Little Dover, he was a son of the late Donald and Evelyn (Bouchie) Myatt.
After living in Ontario for many years, he moved to Westville to be nearer to his family. Bernie enjoyed a lifetime career as a burner mechanic. His love of country music, friends and family, were the things that made him happiest. You could always hear him singing a tune whenever the opportunity was put in front of him. In fact, he actually won a singing contest a short time before his illness progressed. It was what he loved to do. Bernie will be sadly missed by all his family and friends, especially the ones he made at Stellarton Legion and his AA group where he was mentor to many participants.
Bernie is survived by his four sons and two daughters, Bart (Millie), Newfoundland; Kara, Florida; Blaize (Tracey), Timberlea; John (Tanya), North Carolina; Laurie (Aaron), Massachusetts; Bernie (Hollie), Halifax; 14 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; as well as brothers, Dave, Canso; Harvey, Cole Harbour; sisters, Vera, Centerville; Sylvia (Harold), Mount William; and Bernadette (Ray), Westville.
Bernie was predeceased by his brothers, Bert, Bill, Fred, and Donnie; and sisters, Gloria and Beatrice.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life for Bernie will be held in Stellarton Legion Branch 28 from 2 - 4 p.m. on Friday, May 19, 2023.
Burial will take place at a later date.
We, the family of Bernie, would like to thank all the wonderful nurses and doctors on the fourth floor and on the palliative care unit of the Aberdeen Hospital for providing such loving, compassionate care during his illness, not only to Bernie but to our family as well.
We ask that any donations in his memory be made to the Aberdeen Hospital, Palliative Care Unit, or the Stellarton Legion Branch 28.
