Passed peacefully away surrounded by his loving family at the Health Sciences Centre on Monday, January 5, 2026, Maxwell (Max) E. Saint of Clarenville, formerly of Musgravetown, age 79 years.
Predeceased by his parents Alfred and Barbara Saint, father and mother-in-law Fred and Ethel Somerton, sister-in-law Elizabeth Mitchell and her husband John; as well as sister-in-law Una Brown.

In retirement, Max enjoyed traveling, RVing, hunting, and fly fishing; and he also became an accomplished furniture maker, a skill he inherited from his father. He also spent many evenings cheering for his team, the Montreal Canadians.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Critical Care Unit for their care and compassion during his stay; your support was greatly appreciated.
