It is with heavy hearts that the family of Carter Coffin announce his sudden passing on Saturday, October 19th, one month shy of his 92nd birthday.

Family will receive condolences on Friday, October 25, 2024 from 1 pm to 2 pm. Funeral Mass will also be held at St-Andrew's Church at York at 2 pm on the same day.

his ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
He also leaves to mourn his nieces, nephews, his many lifelong friends and companions.

Predeceased by his parents Russel Coffin and Hilda Falle as well as his seven siblings.

Carter lived his life in Gaspe and was a pillar of the community. He spent over 30 years working for the Augustine Nuns. He was very proud of his 45 + years of service as an Eastern Shores School board member. He was a dedicated Mason and throughout his life, gave a lot of energy and commitment to them. Carter was a man of integrity and strong opinions. He loved his community and made many contributions to it. He will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Fondation Santé Côte-de-Gaspé and Gaspé Cancer Foundation.

On behalf of the family, we would like to thank the staff at Gaspe Hospital, especially Patrick Clark, for taking great care of our father during his last hours.
