Wamboldt, Edgar “Eddie” Stewart – passed away at the age of 72 with his family surrounding him on November 10, 2025, after a courageous 15-year battle with cancer. Born in 1953, Eddie was an east ender from Truro, where he developed cherished childhood friendships that lasted throughout his life.
Eddie dedicated his career to Lafarge in Brookfield, where he was a respected employee for 42 years until his retirement in 2018. Outside of work, Eddie was known for his love of the outdoors, fast cars, and time spent with family and friends. In his younger years, he enjoyed weekends at the cottages in Brule and Sutherlands Lake, driving his prized 1978 Camero Z28 and sharing his passion for drag racing and stock car races with his close friends. In his retirement, Eddie enjoyed attending car shows, going for a cruise, tinkering with small projects and weekends at the camper making memories with his family.
Above all Eddie’s greatest joy came from being a father and a grandfather. He will be missed by his son, Colin (Melinda), East Mountain, NS; daughters, Sarah (Jake), Dieppe, NB; and Emily, Dieppe, NB; grandchildren, Bailee, Brooklyn, and Cooper, who brought an endless number of smiles and laughter. Eddie was also survived by his brother-in-law, Phil Nelson; sister-in-law, Colleen Wamboldt; and several nieces and nephews. Eddie was predeceased by his parents, Lawrance and Mary Wamboldt; sister, Sandi Nelson; and brother, Jack Wamboldt.
Eddie will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor, his kindness, his stubbornness, and the way he always was available for those he cared about. His strength, love and spirit will live on in all who knew him.
Cremation has taken place; burial will be determined at a later date. A Celebration of Life will be held in Truro Horseman’s Club on Friday, November 28th, 2025, from 1 pm to 3 pm. In honor of Ed’s easy-going attitude, the family asks you to come as you are in casual attire. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.
