Dennis Sinclair

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and father-in-law Dennis Reginald Sinclair who passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025, in the Cape Breton Regional Hospital surrounded by his loving family. Dad was born in Glace Bay to the late Bill and Ida Sinclair on November 3, 1947, in Glace Bay.

Dad will be remembered with love by daughters Darlene (Shawn), Ida (Kevin) and son Brian (Joanne); Grandchildren, Shawn (Brittany), Meranda (Michael), Brian Jr. (Katie), Kevin, Gauge, Shunaye, Journey, and his little buttercup Lexi of whom he adored; great-grandchildren, Sophie, Jensen, Lucas and Oliver. He is also survived by many brothers and sisters.

In addition to his parents, Dad was predeceased by his loving wife Donna Sinclair and his son Shaun Micheal Sinclair.

Dennis worked in the coal mines up until his retirement, working in both 26 mine and Phalen. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and watching his Toronto Maple Leaf’s and he never missed a game they played. His favorite place to be was at his cabin in Framboise along with his friends the Turner boys, Glenn and Terry.

At this time, the family would like to send a special thank you to Dr. Cabi Thana, nurse Aunalee and the staff at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital for their exceptional care of our dad in his final moments.
