August 22, 1965 ~ October 17, 2022 (age 57)

In loving memory of Kenneth Austin Norton who passed away Monday, October 17, 2022 at the age of 57 at his home in Kindersley, Saskatchewan.

Born in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, Ken was the beloved son of the late Jean Gayton. He was raised in Malagash, Nova Scotia by his grandparents, the late Clara and Ora Scott. Ken worked for Sandy Ross Well Servicing in Kindersley. Ken previously worked for many years with Seagull Pewter in Pugwash, Nova Scotia where he was very talented as a glass cutter.

Ken will be deeply missed by his family and friends. He loved hunting, farming, kids, animals, watching sports and having a good chuckle with those around him. He was an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs and will forever be cheering them on.

Ken is survived by sisters Karen Langille (North River, NS), Kimberly Norton (John Beardsmore, Toronto); brothers Brian Gayton, Scott Gayton (Tatamagouche, NS), Darren Gayton (Kasandra MacKay, Kerrobert, Sask.); nieces Bethany Norton, Aryanna MacKay; nephews Zachary Norton, Bryson Norton, Konnor MacKay, Mason MacKay-Gayton, Kaleb MacKay-Gayton, and Nathan Buker; great-nieces Kennadi Carde, Paige Carde and Jordynn Norton; and great-nephew Charlie Norton. Ken was predeceased by his sister Cheryl Gayton, brother Gary Norton, brother-in-law Allen Langille and great-nephew Kenneth Carde. Special mention to Sandy Ross, Scott Ross, Marie Kapustianyk, Randy Kimiak, Rikki Ross, Ray Borgal and life-long friend Bobby Duggan. The family sincerely apologizes for not acknowledging everyone special to Ken.

Interment will take place in Riverside Cemetery in Wallace, Nova Scotia at a future date. A celebration of Ken’s life will take place at dates yet to be determined in Kindersley, Saskatchewan and in Nova Scotia.
