Sadly, we announce the sudden passing of Raymond David MacKnight on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at the Miramichi Regional Hospital at the age of 85.

Born in Napan, New Brunswick, on November 26, 1940, he was the son of the late Cecil and Irma (Turbide) MacKnight.

Raymond worked as a painter all of his life.  He was known for his love of hunting, fishing and his social nature like story telling, dancing and playing cards.  He was a long-time member of AA for over 38 years.  Raymond will be remembered for his steady hands, kind heart and the warmth he shared so freely.  His love of family, laughter and the simple joys of life will continue to echo through the generations he leaves behind.
