Earl Leroy Kay, born on August 15, 1941, in Newmarket, Ontario, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2025, in Huntsville, Ontario. He was a cherished member of his community and a beloved family man whose legacy will continue to shine through the lives he touched.

Earl dedicated much of his life to managing Sifton Horse Farm, later working as a loader operator at Domtar until retirement. In 1977, he moved to Huntsville, where he created many lasting memories. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, motorcycling, ATVing, camping with family, and custom woodworking. He especially loved country jamborees.

Predeceased by his beloved wife, Margaret Elinor Kay (née Hayes), Earl leaves behind his daughter Brenda (Vince) Letford, son Blair (Teresa) Kay, grandchildren Caitlynd, Tristan, Shailey, and great-grandchild Aubree. His wisdom, kindness, and love will live on in each of them.
