Obituary of Joseph Charles Craig "Beav" MacDonald

Age 48 of Spryfield, passed away with his family by his side on February 27, 2016 at the V.G. Site QEII. Born in Halifax, he was a son of the late Edward and Rose Marie (Mosher) MacDonald. Joe was a drywall taper for 30 years and often known as "Beav" on job sites for being busy as a beaver. He was a family man, the more people he could fit around the kitchen table with a few guitars and laughs, the happier he was. Joe was kind hearted and would do anything and everything for you, even if he didn’t know you, even if you needed an honest opinion, he gave it, his loving, caring and stubborn personality will be greatly missed. Joe leaves behind his four girls in his life, his world and everything of 35 years, his wife Tabitha; the beautiful blessing who made him a father, Chrystal; his baby girl Justine, and his prized possession, his granddaughter, his little piggy, McKenna; his baby boy he’s wanted his whole life, grandson baby boy Smith (due July 2016); son-in-law, Russell Smith, who has gone above and beyond all expectations and is trusting to take care of his girls. He is also survived by siblings; Rose Greenwood (Dennis) and John (Joan), Halifax; Jack (Stephanie), Toronto; Crystal Little (Mark), Elmsdale; best friend of 40 years Patrick Evans; many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.
