CLAYTON, Michael John Clayton - In Loving Memory of Michael John Clayton

Born July 26, 1961, Mike passed away peacefully at home with his wife Sharon by his side on Friday, June 28, 2024. Loving husband for 21 years. Much-loved son of John "Jack" (deceased) and Margaret. Much-loved brother to Peter (Jennifer) and Kim. Loving uncle to Taylor, Braeden, Sarah, and Emma.

Mike retired in 2020 after 32 years of teaching in secondary schools in Durham. Teaching was his passion, which led him to a career in education. He loved the challenges of educating the next generation in a safe and nurturing environment. Mike is remembered by countless students and colleagues as a life-changing influence. Mike had a great sense of humour and believed in having fun in everything he did.

Another passion was rugby. It was in Mike's blood as a player and coach. He played rugby at Anderson CVI, York University, and Oshawa Vikings. After that, Mike coached rugby at the high school, club, and rep levels. Most rugby players remember his favourite place to stand was in the in-goal area.

A great friend, coach, and mentor to many, Mike lived by the code of Clayton's four things:

1. Don't whine, don't complain, don't make excuses.
2. There is no substitution for doing the simple things well.
3. Play in the present.
4. It's all about how you finish.

We would like to thank the staff at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, the Durham Regional Cancer Centre, and Lakeridge Health Oshawa for their care and compassion for Mike, specifically Dr. Marta Davidson, Dr. Vasanthamohan, and Peggy Chen NP, among many others.

In lieu of flowers, we request donations to the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, the Durham Regional Cancer Centre, or Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

Brian was predeceased by his mother and father Jack and Amy Kennett and his sister Sheila Boliska who emigrated to Canada together when Brian, the youngest, was 17.

Brian's family and loving wife Pauline were saddened by his passing but happy to have had so many years together. Brian lived his life expecting to pass in his 50's as had all the previous generations of Kennett men. He retired from traditional work and started the snowbird lifestyle in his early 50's which lasted a good 25 years. Dealing with snow was not Brian's favourite pastime.

Brian had many careers starting the with Canadian Air Force where he rose to Corporal and teaching electronics. After 5 years he was scooped up by a fellow ex Air Force corporal into the computer industry which was in its infancy. Brian later started his own business, Kendata Electronics and other entrepreneurial activities including real estate and a Mr. Submarine franchise in Bowmanville.

Brian and Pauline met in the Air Force and had 3 children. Brain will be sadly missed by his wife Pauline, daughter Judy (Herve), son Steve (Angie) , grandchildren Matthew, Crystal, Nick, Brittany, son Alan (Karen), grandchildren Martin, Mike, Jason and Ashleigh and many great grandchildren, niece/nephew Susan (Peter), Elliot, Andrea (Jory) and in law family sister Audrey McVeigh (Jim), nephew Ralph Raike (Betty).
