It is with heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of W. Dale Mallock at Saint John Regional Hospital on Wednesday, June 19th 2024. Born in 1962, he was the son of Sheila and Roy Mallock of Wilsons Beach, N.B.
Dale was a force to be reckoned with. Anyone who knew him could attest to his boisterous, unapologetic and carefree personality, love, and spirit. He was an avid storyteller, a passionate music lover, and wildly family oriented. There aren't many words that describe Dale that aren't a testament to his positive, and loving nature.
He was a born traveller, from diving in San Diego, Grand Cayman, and off the shores of Campobello. He later drove cross country, settling roots in Victoria, British Columbia, where he competed in bartending competitions, was a founding member of the Victoria Bar and Restaurant Association, co owner of Sugar Nightclub, Darcy's Pub, and Upstairs Cabaret. He then went on to manage the largest pub in British Columbia, Match Eatery and Public House. He met countless movie stars, rock stars, and models during his illustrious career. In his later years, he settled back in New Brunswick, and made a name of himself working small jobs, but talking through most of them.
He is survived by his parents, Sheila and Roy Mallock of Wilsons Beach, siblings, Kimberly (Burrell) Hatt of Chamcook and Calvin (Laurie) Mallock of Wilsons Beach, children, Matthew Mallock of Victoria, BC, and Hailey Mallock (Declan Seeley) of Wilsons Beach and his beloved granddaughter, Claire Anthony of Wilsons Beach, several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by many cousins, friends, and aunts.
Dale was predeceased by his grandparents, Calvin and Hilda Tinker and Walton and Myrtle Mallock of Wilsons Beach. He is joining his friends Blaine, Graham, Ronnie, Gary, Billy, Paul, and his beloved dog, Jack in a long-awaited reunion.
Funeral service will be held at the Wilsons Beach Baptist Church, Wilsons Beach, N.B. on Sunday, June 23, 2024 at 3 PM. Interment to follow at Wilsons Beach Community Cemetery.
