“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” – Thomas Campbell

It is with great sadness that we share that Christopher Nelson Vessey passed away at the Palliative Care Centre on January 24, 2024, after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

Born and raised in York, PEI Chris pursued his passion for music at UPEI before embarking on adventures in Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Vancouver where he thrived working in the construction industry. He eventually moved back to PEI where he ended up finding his most rewarding career as a compassionate caregiver for people living with disabilities.

Chris was known for his unwavering love for music, which he wholeheartedly shared with his children and grandchildren, instilling in them a lifelong passion for melody and rhythm. Chris was a dedicated seeker of knowledge, constantly expanding his understanding of the world around him. He was also a proud member of the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights, advocating for responsible firearm ownership and individual rights. Chris' legacy will reverberate through the lives he enriched with his wisdom, boundless love, and unwavering dedication to those he cherished.

Survived by his devoted spouse, Bev MacLean, and his cherished children Kayla (Ron), Garrett (Paige), Morgan (Chris), and Logan (Charley), whom he held in the highest esteem. Additionally, he leaves behind grandchildren Ethan, Rebekah, Dawson, Porter, Jasper, and Harrison whom he adored beyond measure.

Preceded in death by his father, Nelson Vessey, who passed away on December 8, 2023. Chris cherished the privilege of being by Nelson's side during his final three months, a time for which he was profoundly grateful.

Mourning his death are his stepmother Barbara Vessey, stepsisters Lorretta Wooley (Mike Perry) and Colleen Ivey (Mike Doiron); uncle Dwight Vessey (Joan MacKinnon); daughter Jane Vessey (Jordan MacLeod) and aunts Florence (Bobby) Bryenton; children Geoffrey & Jennifer (Joey) Blaxland & Dorothy (Eric Groleau) Vessey; sons Jon Paquin, Thierry Paquin and Anthony Paquin (Véronique Goulet); mother-in-law Janice MacLean (Gordon, deceased); and brother-in-law Aaron (Lori). Uncle of Paija, Teagan and Maleck Doiron, Jesse Campbell and Julia (Ethan Wheeler) Mitchell, Joseph & Jacob MacLean.

Chris lived his life with one deep belief - to always do what is right and extend a helping hand to those in need. In honor of his memory, we humbly urge you to seek out opportunities to spread kindness and compassion to others. Should you feel so inclined, you are welcome to contribute to the Palliative Care Centre. The exceptional staff consistently exceeded expectations, ensuring Chris' final days were filled with peace and comfort, surrounded by his cherished loved ones.

Kay died on January 23, 2024 at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Born in Guelph, Ontario, to loving parents Earl and Anna Sault on July 24, 1937. Raised in Ormstown, Quebec, Kay was a Registered Nurse who trained at Montreal General Hospital and went on to receive a diploma in public health nursing from the University of Western Ontario. Kay met Doug, her husband of fifty-nine years at Albert College, and following their marriage in 1961 moved to Prince Edward Island where they made a home and raised a family.

Kay had a talent for friendship and many circles of friends: United Church Women, neighbourhood ladies, bridge clubs, book clubs, sorority, and the birthday bunch. She was well-known for her warm smile and sympathetic ear. Kay believed in the importance of community, whether it was canvassing for charities, volunteering with the school milk programme, tutoring kids, or helping with hospice.
