It is with great sadness and much love that we share the passing of our dear father, Iver MacNeill Cotton, of Charlottetown, on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at the age of 81. A devoted husband to his beloved late wife, Judy (Lea). He was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, whose life was filled with love, laughter, generosity, and countless stories.
In his younger years, Dad had a passion for hockey, whether it was on a pond or in the rink. He loved the competition, but it was the lasting friendships that meant the most to him. He always had a great sense of rhythm too and could be found on the dance floor jiving along. Dad found great joy in the game of golf. He could drive that ball like no other. He cherished the time spent on the course with his dear friends, Brian and Rodney, as well as his sons and grandsons.
In addition to his late wife, Judy, Iver is lovingly remembered by his children Shawn (Karin) of Fredericton, NB, and daughter Nicole (Curtis) Doiron, of Chile. His greatest joys were his five grandchildren: Rebecca, Jaden, Ryan, Carson, and Quinn. He will be fondly remembered by his brother-in-law Bob (Anne Marie) Lea. Dad was predeceased by his infant daughter, Andrea Nicole, his parents, Athol and Madge Cotton, and his sister, Isabel Brown.
Resting at MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. There will be no formal services at Dad’s request. Interment later in Peoples Cemetery, Kensington. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the PEI Humane Society. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com
