Dennis Metcalfe, aged 57, passed away peacefully, after a short battle with cancer, surrounded by his wife and family, on Monday, November 9, 2026, at Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC.  Born in Haute-Aboujagane, he was the son of the late Philip and Claudette (Bourque) Metcalfe.

After high school, Dennis enrolled at NBCC Moncton and received his diploma in Electronic Engineering Technology, Avionics, in 1989.  After working many years in the avionics field, he pursued his studies at the Moncton University, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1998.  Dennis worked at NBCC Moncton as an engineering technology instructor for 25 years.

He started as a volunteer firefighter for the Haute-Aboujagane Fire Department in 1987 and eventually moved on to be captain and training officer.  He kept that role for the Cap-Acadie Fire Department until his passing (for 39 years).

He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 28 years, Lisa; his brother, Gary (Elisa) of Haute-Aboujagane; his niece and goddaughter, Emilie (Alyssa), his niece Abigail; his parents-in-law: Joseph and Patricia Richard of Grand-Barachois; his brother-in-law, Serge (Gary) of Shediac; and his godson Luka Jacob of Truro, NS.

Besides his parents, Dennis was predeceased by his sister, Darleen Metcalfe (2011).

In keeping with Dennis wishes, there will be no visitation, and no funeral service.  Dennis will be laid to rest in the Sacré-Coeur cemetery, in Haute-Aboujagane.

In memory of Dennis, a contribution to the Dumont UHC (oncology) would be greatly appreciated.

Funeral arrangements are under the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 396 Main Street, Shediac, NB (506-532-3297).
