Frank Wood, of Riverview, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 12, 2026 at The Moncton Hospital surrounded by his loved ones. Born in River Hebert, NS, he was the son of the late Frank and Dorothy (nee Porter) Wood.
Throughout his working career, Frank was a Credit Manager with the T. Eaton Company for over 20 years before pursuing a career as a mechanic. Frank had a natural talent for working with his hands and took great pride in being able to fix just about anything. He loved spending time tinkering in his garage, where there was always a project on the go. Whether it was repairing something broken, building something new, or helping someone solve a problem, Frank was happiest when he was busy working with his hands. Known for his generosity and willingness to help others, he was always ready to lend a hand to family, friends, neighbours, or anyone in need. His practical skills, resourcefulness, and kind-hearted nature made him someone people could always count on.
Frank enjoyed snowmobiling during the winter months and spending time with those he loved. Above all else, his greatest joy in life was being a father and a Papa. He cherished every moment spent with his children and grandchildren, and the love, guidance, and support he gave them will remain with them forever.
He will be forever missed and remembered by his loving wife of 47 years Heather (Leaman) Wood; sons, Kevin (Joanna), Tim (Anita), sisters Melba (Carl), brothers: John, David (Dorine), grandchildren: Holly, Winter, Walker, Alaska and his several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his daughters, Kim (Marc), Sheri (Stephen) and their children.
Aside from his parents, Frank was predeceased by his sister Barb MacKenzie, infant son Jonathan, and sister-in-law Dora Leaman.
A special thank you to Extra Mural for all their help and especially to his favourite nurse Jane.
