Bathurst - It is with sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Arden Marc Mallet of Bathurst, which occurred peacefully with his beloved Bonnie Ross at his side on Tuesday October 4th, 2022, at the age of 79.

Born in Tracadie, he was the son of the late Marc and Eileen (Witzell) Mallet.

He was the proud father of his daughter Karen Mallet (Ottawa) and step-daughter, Shelley Ifantis (New York). He was also very proud of his grand-daughters Jaden, Siena and Mataya.

He is survived by his brothers Patrick Mallet (Paula) of Petit-Rocher, Alfred Mallet (Glenda) of Bathurst, his sisters-in-law Donelda Ferguson and Albertine (Twinksy) Mallet.  Also, his mother-in-law Eugenie (Jenny) Doucet, brothers-in-law Ralph Doucet (Elva) and Vernon Doucet (Maureen), as well as his many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his brother Clayton Mallet and his adoptive brother Wallace Ferguson as well as his step-son Scott Ross.

Arden was well known in the community for his kindness and compassion that he gave to grieving families while working at Elhatton’s Funeral Home for over 50 years.

He lived a good life and enjoyed great travels, great friends, great food and great drinks. He enjoyed golfing, curling, and played hockey as a goaltender in his younger days. Arden also enjoyed being part of the MGB Club, where they would drive around New Brunswick with the top down taking in the sun. He has now peacefully driven into the perpetual sun!

At his request, his body was entrusted to Dalhousie University Medical Program for research.

A memorial mass will be held at Holy Family Church in Bathurst on Tuesday October 11th, 2022 at 4:00 pm.
