Obituary of Rev. Weldon "Sonny" Mutch

With his family by his side, Rev. Weldon “Sonny” Newton Mutch, husband of Shirley (Lovelace) Mutch, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, March 22, 2021. He was born February 5, 1959 in Newcastle, NB to the late Weldon and Carmel (Walsh) Mutch.

Sonny was an oil burner technician by trade and he owned and operated Aaliyah Heating and Ventilation. He had many contracts with the Department of National Defence at Base Gagetown and also worked as a contractor for Irving Oil Limited. His ultimate passion, however, was his call to the ministry where he served as Pastor of Victory Tabernacle. His greatest goal in life was to see souls saved. He also served as President for Emmanuel Fellowship.

Sonny loved being outdoors, whether it be gardening, hunting, trapping or fishing. He always had to be busy and one thing was certain, he was always thinking about and planning his next project. He took great joy in spending time with family and friends, always laughing and teasing. His greatest moments of joy were in times spent with his grandchildren.

Besides his wife, Sonny is survived by his daughters, Sandra Scott Collins (Michael), Heather Collins, Emily Houle (Neil) and Carmel Mutch (Austin Sweeney); his siblings, Raymond Mutch (Eloise), Noileta Mutch, Brian Mutch (Simone), Carmen “Pat” Mutch (Wendy) and Demning O’Reilly (David); his grandchildren, Zane Collins, Cheyenne, Willow, Autumn and Summer Houle, and Ned Scott Collins. Also survived by sister-in-law, Eileen Mutch; chosen daughters, Cholena Bagley, Kristen Lyons; and chosen son, Josh Fowler.

Besides his parents, Sonny was predeceased by brother, Karl; sisters-in-law, Joan Mutch, Linda Munn and Brenda Fowler; mother and father-in-law, Carl and Emma Lovelace.
