Dexter Minor Obituary

SHERBROOKE, Quebec - Dexter "Dex" Minor, 50, on October 23, 2016, left this life to a new life in Heaven where there is no tears, no more pain, no more suffering and no more death. Rev: 21-4
Dex battled his multiple sclerosis for over 15 years, with true grit, being very courageous.
He lived in Vermont, Western Oregon and Southern Quebec, always making sure there were rivers, lakes and mountains where he could hike and paddle. He loved the outdoors, in all weather.
When Dex was younger, he went to Chamberlin School in South Burlington, the Little Red School House in Ira, Calvary Christian School in Rutland and Mount St. Joseph, where he enjoyed football and hockey. He studied at the College of St. Joseph and Oregon Community College in Eugene, Oregon.
He also enjoyed Awana at Ira Baptist Church and Word of Life camps. Dex worked hard and played hard but no matter what, he knew he always had the unconditional love from his daddy, only given by the Spirit of Jesus.
Dex had a very giving heart; if any one needed it and he had it, they got it.
Surviving Dex are his Daddy, Mitch Minor, of Ira, VT; a brother and his wife, Derek and Laura Minor of Albany, NY; a beautiful daughter, Asia Minor of Philomouth, OR (from a divorced marriage); a grandmother, Olive Minor of Orleans, Ontario.
Dex was predeceased in 2005 by his mama, Joyce, who was our Angel on Earth.
The memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, November 19, in the Ira Baptist Church with the Rev. Eric May, pastor, officiating.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Ira Baptist Church Awana Fund, Route 132, Ira, VT 05777.

This will seem odd but i met Dexter almost 30 years ago through a friend of his, Brent Farrell when i briefly lived in Rutland, For some reason i thought about him and said, let me see if hes online anywhere. Needless to say i was shocked and saddened when i came across this article. Truly one of the gentlest human beings i have ever met. I am sorry about your loss but your son made an impact on a lot of people and certainly me in a matter of months. One of a kind. Seeing concerts with them at Castleton St. will always be a great memory.

My prayers and sympathies to you. Dexter was always a funny, kind, gentle soul way back so many years ago in high school. I always enjoyed our friendship, even when he tried to teach me to drive stick shift (yikes!). May you watch over all of us Mounties, Dexter!

Dexy....

I'm so sorry to hear you had some painful final years and that you left out of here at such a young age. It's been a very long time since we talked, but so odd that you crossed my mind just the other day. Maybe you stopped by on your way out of here.

Sorry I didn't keep in touch over the years. We had some fun back in the day and I could always count on you to partner up on the hunt for some kind of crazy adventure.

You're a good guy with a gentle heart and I know you have peace and joy in heaven.

Your buddy,
Jon
