Obituary of Clayton Dumaresque

DUMARESQUE, Clayton Clarence

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of a beloved brother and uncle on November 4, 2021, at the age of 69.

Clayton was born on August 13, 1952, in Forteau, Labrador to Herbert and Caroline Dumaresque.

Clayton will be fondly remembered by his brother Nelson (Marjorie), his sisters Greta and Winnifred (Eric) Nieces: Donna (Rod), Carolyn (Emil), Brooke. Nephews: David (Tracy), Jonathan (Ruth), Stephane (Amy), Philip, Daniel, Jack.

Clayton will be remembered for his keen interest in mechanics at a young age and an interest in geology which led him to pursue a degree at Memorial University.

This interest also led to a hobby in rock polishing and clock making using rocks native to Labrador.

The family wishes to thank the paramedics in Labrador City and the staff at the Labrador West Health Centre for their amazing care and compassion.

Thank you to the parish of L’Anse au Clair for their kind devotion to our family especially Rev. Nath Larkin, assistant Nancy Turnbull, the amazing musicians, and the nourishment provided by the ACW.

Many thanks also go out to all of those who sent messages and brought cards of support.

The arrangements entrusted to Penney’s Funeral Home in Labrador City and Fillatre’s Funeral Home in L’Anse au Loup.

The funeral service and interment took place at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in L’Anse au Clair on Wednesday, November 10, 2021.
