Roy John Sutton

It is with sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Roy John Sutton, with his daughter by his side, on November 4, 2026, at the age of 90.

Roy was predeceased by his parents Cecil and Rita and sadly, by his beloved wife, Ruth.  He will be lovingly remembered by his long-time cherished companion, Donna, her children Janice (Barry), Jim (Lori), and their families.  Survived by his daughter Kelly (Paul), and grandfather to their son Max.  Survived also by his daughter Debbie (Dave), is grandfather to their daughter Brittney (Robyn), and great grandfather to their daughter Finley; he is also grandfather to their daughter Lexie (David), and to their daughters Ruthie, and Sally.  Roy was the last surviving brother of George, Harvey, and his twin brother, Ross.

Born and raised in Shanty Bay, Roy grew up on the family farm, where he developed his strong work ethic and practical skills that stayed with him throughout his life.  He dedicated more than 30 years to Brewers Retail, now known as The Beer Store.

Roy will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humour.  A natural jokester, he had an exceptional talent for delivering the perfect one-liner and bringing smiles to those around him.  In his spare time, he enjoyed woodworking and took great pride in creating furniture with his hands.  He also enjoyed a good game of euchre, curling and many rounds of golf.  Roy spent the last months of his life at Station Place Long Term Care in Havelock, where he was well cared for by his family and their wonderful staff.

A Celebration of Roy’s Life will be held later this month.

If desired, donations in Roy’s memory may be made to Breast Cancer Research through the Canadian Cancer Society.
