Obituary of Darrell James Lake

Darrell James Lake, 45 of Fraser’s Mills, Antigonish County. The family of Darrell Lake is sad to announce the passing of a wonderful son, brother, father, uncle on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish. He was born in Antigonish, the son of Sydney and Evelyn Lake. As a young man Darrell moved to Parrsboro to work as a welder at Parrsboro Metal Fabrication. He bought a team of Clydesdale horses and hauled wood in his spare time. He followed his best friend Rollie MacHattie into truck driving. A car accident years later, left Darrell a quadriplegic. He started raising Bernese Mountain dogs and with the help of his caregiver Lucia he felt he could do anything. Darrell was the thinker, Lucia was the worker. Besides his parents Darrell is survived by: sons Cody (Rebekah), (Melbourne, Australia) and Brody (Samantha), Moncton, NB; brothers Robert, Saskatchewan, Doug (Gladys) Newfoundland, and Stephen (Candace) Alberta; sisters Donna (Kevin) DeWolfe and Brenda (Darryl) Green both of Antigonish County; and his amazing caregiver Lucia BaA; his best friends Rollie and Joey MacHattie and Russell and Marjorie MacHattie and family with whom Darrell spent much of his teen years with as well as many nieces and nephews. Funeral Service will be 2:00 pm Friday in Kings United Church, Loch Katrine, Rev. Meredith Marple presiding. Burial at a later date in Cummings Cemetery, Upper South River.
