RANDELL, MATTHEW

February 10, 1956 – December 21, 2021

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Mathew Randell on December 21, 2021. Matt was born on February 10, 1956.

He leaves behind his brother Leslie Randell of Roddickton, his brother in law Jacob Dredge, his nephews Tyson Dredge (Josephine) and Trevor Dredge, his great nephew Reed and numerous cousins.

After finishing high school, Matt did a carpentry course at trade school, subsequently travelling to Alberta for work. After a short duration of working in Alberta, Matt returned home, later moving to Ontario where he worked as a cabinet builder. Upon his return from Ontario, Matt commenced work with a survey crew, working on the highways. This job led to Matt’s permanent employment of 24 years with the Department of Highways. He spent most of those years working out of the Plum Point and Flower’s Cove depots. During his time in the Straits, Matt lived with his sister Ruby, brother in law Jacob and their family.

One of Matthew’s loves was working in his workshop, creating a variety of wood crafted items. He was always ready to lend a hand to those who required help or wanted items made. Matt loved all types of tools, in fact his workshop is overfilled with tools that were never opened. Matt was a very quiet and unassuming man, often seen on a warm summer’s day, sitting on the bench by his workshop and looking out at the neighborhood activities.

Shortly after his retirement, in 2020, Mathew was diagnosed with Cancer and succumbed to the disease. Matt will be missed by his family, friends, and coworkers.

He is predeceased by his Wife, Marjorie; parents, Uriah and Mary Elizabeth Hughes; In laws, Albert & Laura Parrill; Brother, Christopher; Sisters, Virtue (George) Parrill, Nancy, Velma, Dorothy & Olga.

The magnitude of love is not restricted by parameters or definitions. Nicholas adored Nancy, technically his niece, but forever his daughter. He provided her with so much comfort and care her entire life and she was happy to return the same. His pride only grew as his family expanded with his son in law, Hank and then the blessings of his little girls, granddaughters Chloe and Sara. How he adored them all, wanted the best for them, strived to give them all he could, especially his affection. His family was indeed his treasure.

Nicholas will be greatly missed by all who have known him. There’s hardly a house on this coast that hasn’t been touched by Nicholas's carpentry skills, from building houses, installing kitchen cupboards and building front decks, there was nothing he didn’t try to accomplish.

Since his wife’s passing in January there has been quite a few good family and friends to tended to him on a daily basis especially his brother Hughie who was his right hand man, he couldn’t do anything without him and vice versa, Hughies Wife Marie always made sure to keep his belly full each and every day. No words can express how much they meant to Nicks and the family is very thankful for their selfless acts of kindness daily.

We would also like to send a special thanks to “his Nurse” Cindy Coombs-Williams who went above and beyond to make him as comfortable as possible during his illness. He thought the world of her and she cared for him dearly.

Visitation to take place on Sunday December 19, 2021 at St. Andrews Anglican Church, Lower Cove from 6-10 pm. The funeral will take place on Dec 20th, 2021 at 11am pm with Rev. Deacon Vernon Short officiating. The service will be followed by burial at the Green Island Brook cemetery.
