Obituary of Douglas Lester McCormack

It is with deep sadness that the family of Douglas Lester McCormack announces his passing on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Saint John, NB on November 15, 1960, Doug was a son of the late Gerald and Norma (Gallant) McCormack.

Doug loved living his life either in the middle of a stream or river on the lucky end of a fishing rod or in the woods hunting with his life-long friends. He was proud of and passionate about his work as a millwright and was a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Millwrights, and Allied Workers Local 2262. Doug also served as a proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Doug will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Sherry; his children: Gerald McCormack (Amelie Legere) of Moncton, NB, Jason Flowers of Fredericton, NB, and Natalie Flowers (Jeremy Anderson) also of Fredericton, NB; his grandchildren: Dayton, Dakota, Brock, Silas, and Riley; his great grandson, Weston; and his siblings: Ken McCormack of Hoyt, NB, John McCormack of Castlegar, BC, and Linda Peters (David) of Saint John, NB. Doug is also survived by his great Aunt Doris and his great Uncle Robert, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Doug was predeceased by his sister, Carol Wishlow.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sussex, NB (506-433-1176). In keeping with Doug’s wishes, all arrangements will be held privately.
