It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dad, Miles Ludlow Carpenter on Jan7, 2026. He was the son of the late Perley and Rheta(Wilkinson) and husband of the late Fernande(Robichaud) Carpenter.
He was born in Oakville, NB and raised in Marysville.
After graduating from FHS he attended the University of South Florida in Tampa, earning his BBA. He then came back to Fredericton and started his career with the provincial government.
In 1972, he met mom and a few short months after their first date, they married. They spent the best 48 years of their lives together, until mom’s passing 5 years ago. Volunteering, church and community service was always part of their life together.
Over the years, dad was involved with Scouting, Knights of Columbus and various committees and organizations. Upon his retirement from government, he started a consulting company and was able to devote more time to the Knights of Columbus and his interest in genealogy. He spent many hours researching the Carpenter family tree, writing 2 books and helping to organize many family reunions.
He loved gardening, fishing, hunting, reading, woodworking, being outdoors and most of all, spending time with his family especially mom and his grandsons.
He is survived by his loving children, Michelle(Brent) Dore and Jamie(Jennifer) Carpenter; grandsons, Jake Dore(Alyssa) and Riley Dore(Robyn); great- granddaughters, Oaklynn, Vallie and Daphne, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
