Scott McCHESNEY Obituary
Scott passed away, at home, surrounded by his family, on Sunday, October 7, 2012 at the age of 41. Loving husband of Tammy Zubyck (Née Bélair) and step dad to Gabrielle. Son
of Jeannette McChesney and the late Francis McChesney. Dear brother of Yvonne, Greg (Terry Lee) and Mark (Denise). He is also survived by his father-in-law and his mother- in-law Richard and Diane Bélair; his sister-in- law Nathalie (Paul); his uncles Elmer (Dorothy) and Laurence; his aunts Ann (Angus) and Helen. He will be missed by his nieces Kaitlyn, Emilie, Tegan, Tori and his nephews Nicholas and Rhys as well as many close friends. Scott was an avid athlete throughout his life but perhaps better known for his goaltending skills during his school years. He went on to graduate from Acadia University in 1994 and was most proud when recruited to the RCMP in 1996. He was posted to Dawson Creek, B.C. where he spent 9 years enjoying the work and making many friends. In 2005, he transfered to Ottawa and worked in the field of Protective Policing where he had the opportunity to travel worldwide. Scott was best known by all who knew him for his bright smile, gregarious personality and contagious laugh and most loyal fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The family would like to thank the Oncology staff at the Ottawa General Hospital with a special thanks to Doctors Louise Coulombe and Vincent Young for their compassionate care. Relatives and friends may pay respects at the Heritage Funeral Home 2871 St. Joseph Blvd, Orleans, Tuesday, October 9 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A memorial service will take place at Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Ave, Ottawa, on Wednesday, October 10 at 11 a.m. This will
be followed by viewings on October 12th from 2 p.m to 4 p.m. and 7. p.m. to 9 p.m. at H.C. MacQuarrie Funeral in Stellarton, N.S. Funeral Mass to be held at Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church on October 13 at
11 a.m followed by internment in the parish cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Condolences may be made at:

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Scott's passing. When I think back to my Acadia days or Edmonton days Scott plays a big part in those memories. His smile, his laugh, his zest for life and his very firm beliefs in what was right and what was wrong. My thoughts are with the family.

Dear Yvonne. How very sad I am to read about Scott's early passing. Far, far too young. And such an accomplished life he has lived.
I am touched to read all of the condolences from his many friends from school. I do want to add my sympathies to you and your family. As you know, I knew Scott as a kid in one of my classes. And, I also remember very well that wonderful smile of his. It's heartening to read that he never lost that smile and enthusiasm.
I know that God will be with you and your family at this extremely sad time.

Our deepest sympathies to Scott's family. I got to know Scott as a troop mate from our RCMP training in Troop 1, in 1996. Such a good friend; an easy going and gentle person. Strong like a bull but equally sensitive to others feelings. The weight he could bench press was amazing. It deeply pains my heart to know that Scott had passed away at such a young age. May Allah bless you Scott, and give courage to your family to face this tragedy. You will always be remembered, my friend!!

My deepest condolences to the Mcchesney family! Moving to a new school as I did is never easy but Scott certainly made it easier. He was a blast to be around and the thing I remember about Scott is he had protected me the odd occasion from bullies. He was truly a genuine person with a big heart to go with his big smile! Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family at this very difficult time

My condolences to Scott's family and friends. I will remember Scott from school, crossing paths again at Acadia University, playing soccer with him in the summers, and meeting him again in Dawson Creek, BC. What a fun guy to be around. One specific thing I remember from a long time ago, is in elementary school - there were outdoor games arranged for the school, running, jumping, etc. One of the competitions, believe it or not, was "the biggest smile". Everyone's took a turn making a smile, and they were then measured. I remember who had the biggest smile in the entire school -Scott. All the best to the McChesneys.

Scott was both my and my husband's troopmate at Depot. I didn't even know he was sick. I will always remember his colossal smile, and of course his bear walking at depot. What a sad loss to the world. RIP Scott.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Scott's passing. We shared a lot of laughs through hockey years ago. I haven't seen him since then but his smile and friendship will stay in my memory. My condolences to his family.

Yvon, family and loved ones; Thinking back to our High School days, Scott stood apart from the crowd. Not just for the contagiousness of his genuine and easy-going smile but for the appreciation and respect that he held for each individual he encountered regardless of circumstance. It is with little doubt that such a model citizen would find himself in the role of an RCMP officer. I am saddened by the news of his passing and at the same time, feel blessed that I had the opportunity to know such a wonderul person.

Scott touched the lives of many people, and I know that we are better because we knew him. After hockey and high school ended it was nice to run into Scott way out west.Please know your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers.

We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear the terrible news. Scott and Paul were close troop mates. His million watt smile will be missed by all who knew him. I looked through some photos and laughed at one of Scott duct taping Paul to his bed in training. Always so much fun to be around. Our deepest condolences to his family. He will be missed....

I met Scott on an occasion when he was home to visiti his family, I was at his mother's house on my way to New Glasgow to Referee a Rugby Match. I liked Scott from my first contact, he loved sport, he was physical, he was in Law Enforcement, he loved his family and his friends with a great passion. Scott was a man that you could count on, a man that was not afraid to speak his mind. They say that " the good die young", this surely applies to Scott who made a great impression in a short time, his early death leaving much undone.
