October 8th, 1951 – Jan. 15th, 2023

Beloved husband for 22 years to Micki (Michelle) Dover, proud Father to Keeshon and Taymon, Brother to Trevor Charles and Sandra (Laurie) Sargeant, Son to Alwilda Sargeant, Nephew to Dorothy (Melvin) Bailey and Janice Headley.

He was born on the beautiful Island of Antigua, and moved to Canada in his early 20’s, first living in Toronto, then Winnipeg and eventually settling down in Edmonton, Alberta. He became a Canadian Citizen in 1991.

Eustace was an extremely hard-working man who was passionate about the game of football and would enjoy a beer after a long hard day at work. All of which he got through because of a fierce love and desire to support his family. He loved his two sons and taught them, among many things, to grow up to be hard-working young adults and always
emphasized that they were to take care of their Mom, his wife, Micki. Whom he adored from the moment he met her 28 years ago.

Eustace was loved by all who were blessed to know him.
As per his wishes, he was cremated and we will celebrate his life in a unique way that he would absolutely love, on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. We know he will be cheering on and continuously supporting his family from his place of peace.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in his honour to

Carol always had a book with her, usually something from the historical romance genre. She also had an extensive collection of science fiction.

The winter was filled with computer games, reading fan fiction (especially Vin Diesel), watching action movies, and enjoying her retirement years.

A wake will be held for Carol at a later date, likely in the late spring/early summer. Carol’s ashes will be interned at a family plot in the Evergreen Cemetery.
