Jay Arthur Leslie Hewitt

It is with great sadness that the family of Jay Arthur Leslie Hewitt (61) announce his passing at

home with his family by his side on August 7th, 2022 after a long hard-fought battle with cancer.

Jay was the only son (born October 13, 1960) of Orville William Hewitt and Theresa Eleanor

Hewitt (nee Cloutier), (both predeceased) in Scarborough, Ontario and grew up in both the east

and west end of Toronto sharing his weekends with his family and grandmother and Aunt Marg

(predeceased).

Jay leaves behind his two beloved daughters, Krista Hewitt and son-in-law Mike Babineau,

Candace Hewitt and son-in-law Daniel Ricciardi, grandson Avery, loving sister Diane Kelly and

brother-in-law Ron Kelly, and beloved sister Candise Mather and brother-in-law Earl Mugford.

Nephews Adam and Joel, nieces Lauren, Alicia, Hayley and Danielle will miss their happy times

with Uncle Jay as will step son and daughter Ronnie and Aleisha Girard.

Jay worked as a craftsman in the restoration of historical churches, government and

architectural buildings and specialized in custom design work with metal and copper structures

across Canada. A big heart, a keen eye for detail and a quick wit, he always loved a good joke

and lots of laughs with family and friends. He will be so missed by many.

A further announcement will be made regarding a Celebration of his Life to take place in

October.

Any condolences please be sent as donation to the Canadian Cancer Society for Endocrine

Research.
