Vance was an exceptional athlete in both hockey and softball, as well as a valued coach to many minor hockey league teams and Bathurst minor baseball.
Vance especially enjoyed spending time in nature at his camp with family and friends. He could always be found down by the lake with a fishing rod in hand hoping to catch “the big one” or out exploring in his side by side.
Vance worked for the City of Bathurst for 20 years, during which time he was a well-respected Union President for 10 years.
From there Vance went on to work in the mining sector for 11 years where he worked until his passing.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Wade for his exceptional care and compassion over the past few months.
