It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Shawn Dale Mitton, age 44, of Sackville, NB, at the Moncton Hospital on Saturday, March 16, 2024. 

Born in Sackville, he was a son of Brian and Shelley (Thomas) Mitton.

Shawn was a family man who loved spending time with his sons.  Whatever his sons were involved in, he was in 100%, announcing at their hockey games, outings in the woods, or enjoying an impromptu meal over a campfire.  He looked forward to any activity that took him outside; playing with his animals, taking long hikes, dirt biking, or fishing just to name a few.  He enjoyed sports and loved playing baseball.  He knew how to make those around him feel good and make every event special.

Always ambitious, Shawn recently had followed his dreams and started his own business.  The community welcomed his achievement with open arms and in only a short time he was already flourishing.  Shawn was excited to take on this endeavor and everyone who knew him was extremely supportive and proud of his accomplishment.

In addition to his parents, he will be dearly missed by his life partner Kayla Estabrooks, Sackville; sons Dylan Mitton, Samuel Mitton, Greyson Estabrooks and Braden O'Watch; grandmother Dorothy Thomas, Sackville; countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course friends.

Arrangements are under the care and supervision of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville, NB (506-364-1300) where Times of Remembrance will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 2024 from 2 to 4 pm and 6 to 8 pm.  Burial will take place in the Sackville Cemetery at a later date.
