It is with great sadness that the family of Kenneth Hayman of Cantley, Quebec announce his passing on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the age of 71. Beloved husband of Anne-Marie for nearly 48 years. Proud and loving father of Melissa (Mark), Cory (Courtney), and Chris (Karlee). Cherished grandfather of McKenna, Graysen, Harrison, Sienna, River, Rorie, and another grandchild soon to join the family.
Ken was predeceased by his parents, Reginald and Isabelle Hayman, and his brother Ron. He will also be remembered by his siblings Rick (Sandy), Rob (Shannon), and Candace, as well as by his many nieces and nephews. Ken’s greatest happiness came from spending time with his family and watching his grandchildren grow. In retirement, he embraced what became one of the great joys of his life – travelling the world on cruises with Anne-Marie. Friends and family often joked about just how many cruises the two managed to take over the years, but for Ken there was always another ship to board, another destination to explore, and another adventure waiting. Ken will be remembered for his quiet strength, his deep love for his family, and the pride he took in seeing the next generation grow.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the compassionate caregivers at Wakefield Hospital for their kindness and care. In keeping with Ken’s wishes, there will be no funeral or wake. Those wishing to honour his memory are encouraged to do something Ken loved – take a cruise, see the world, and enjoy the journey.
