d'Eon, Mark Gordon – age 48 of West Pubnico, N.S., passed away peacefully with his family by his side on March 6, 2021. Born in Yarmouth on August 3, 1972, he was a son to Carmen (Priscilla) d'Eon and Lynn (Rob) Kaufmann. Mark was known to work hard and play harder. He was a lobster fisherman by trade but also went herring seining, crabbing, and swordfishing. He had a passion for ski-dooing and frequented NFLD on Ski-Doo trips with his friends. He was also an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and spending days on the water in his speed boat with family and friends. Mark loved to make people laugh and was known to tease.
