It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Max Glover on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, in Bathurst, New Brunswick, following a short illness, at the age of 86. Born in Hopefield, Prince Edward Island, Max was the ninth of ten children of David and Catherine (MacDonald) Glover.

Growing up, Max worked on the family farm in PEI. He then held many jobs over the years, including working at the Royal Bank of Canada, Central Trust and the Northumberland Co-op. Following this he worked in the Intensive Care Unit at the Chaleur Regional Hospital, where he is remembered to this day for his intelligence, patience and kindness. A skilled woodworker, he built many homes and much furniture (furnishing entire university apartments for his daughters) throughout his life. In retirement, he enjoyed volunteering at St. George’s Anglican Church and giving back to that community. Patient and helpful to all, he would sit for hours helping his daughters with their math homework, a subject that came easily to him, and was always there for whatever was needed. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, and always remembered.

Visitation will be held at Elhatton’s Funeral Home on Friday, October 23, from 7 to 9 p.m.A funeral service will take place at St. George’s Anglican Church in Bathurst on Saturday, October 24, at 10 am.

The family would like to thank the staff on the 4th floor of the Chaleur Regional Hospital for their excellent care and kindness during Max’s last days.
