Allan G. “Snib” Weatherby

Allan G. "Snib" Weatherby passed away peacefully at the Charlotte County Hospital on Saturday, April 22, 2023. Allan was born in St. Stephen on October 14, 1950, the second child and first son of Mona (McShane) and Melvin Weatherby.

Allan was raised in Milltown and he graduated from St. Stephen High School in 1969. He attended Moncton Tech for a year and then moved on to Saint John Tech where he studied Instrumentation Technology.  He held various jobs in his younger years.  In 1972, Allan along with his buddies, Ally Lindsay and Ray Tyrell travelled to British Columbia in Ray’s VW Bug. They found employment in the lumber industry in Tasish. They were later joined by his brother Bob.  Allan returned home in 1973/4 and moved to Fredericton in 1976, where he accepted a position with the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission. There he met and married Debi Seymour Hawkins.  They moved to St. Stephen in 1983.  He continued to work for NB Power until his retirement in 2005. Following retirement, Allan continued to be a hard worker, working on the construction of Route 1, and at a security job with Border Security.  He even raked blueberries and picked tips into his sixties.

In his younger years Allan was active in sports, playing Little League baseball, as well as hockey on make-shift outdoor rinks in Milltown. In his early life, a coach dubbed him with the nickname "Snib" and it stuck.  As a young adult, he played hockey with the St. Stephen Bisons.

Allan enjoyed all sports and was a die-hard Toronto Maple Leaf’s, Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots fan. He loved fishing and hunting, and he took pride in keeping his yard in pristine shape.  His greatest love was his family, his son Ryan and his daughters, Pamela and Melanie and his grandchildren.

Allan is survived by his wife Debi, son, Ryan of St. Stephen, daughters, Pamela MacMillan of Grand Lake, NB, and Melanie Hawkins Duffy of Bedford, NS, grandchildren, Emma, Daniel, Dylan, Danielle, Dustin, Jordyn, and Ainsley; great grandchildren Sophia and Landon, brother, Bob, sisters, Sandra and Betty (Brent), many nieces and nephews and cousins.
