PAQUETTE, Sgt. Neil CD Suddenly as the result of a motor vehicle accident on Friday evening, June 20th, 2014; Neil Gaston Paquette of Fitzroy Harbour passed away. He was 33. Cherished son of Marcel and Joan Paquette of Lower Sackville, N.S. Beloved and devoted husband and best friend of Karen (nee Brown). Adored and proud "Dad" of Abigayle (4) and Jack (14 months). Much loved "Little Brother" of Stephen Doughty (and his wife, Kim) of Petawawa. Loved son-in-law of Leonard and Christine Brown of Fitzroy Harbour and special brother-in-law of Krista and Matt Petch of Ashton. Neil cherished and doted over his niece and nephew Tana and Sean Doughty; and nephew Blake Petch. Fondly remembered by his many co-workers, friends, neighbors and countless acquaintances. Neil was the man who could do anything and whose vocabulary did not include the word "no". He willingly answered everyone's call and never refused to help out where help was needed. A talented, determined, self-taught entrepreneur, Neil learned to turn his hand to anything and accomplish every task to perfection. He will be missed by all.
