Clayton Aker, 81, of Falmouth, Hants County, passed away at home on Tuesday, August 27, 2019. Clayton lived in Falmouth all his life and was a loving husband of 59 years to Brenda, proud father of Jo-Ann, Kathy and Shelley, grandfather, brother and friend. He was the son of the late Stanley Aker and Annie May (MacKenzie) Aker.
He is survived by his wife, his daughters, his granddaughters, and his grandsons
Clayton is also survived by his sister, brothers, and sister-in-law, Jean Aker, Calgary. Clayton was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Austin Aker.
Clayton was a very proud Canadian and served as a paratrooper in the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry regiment in the late 1950s. He was a carpenter by trade and a proud member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners of America Union, Local 83. For many years he travelled from Falmouth to Halifax each day to work and was employed by many companies including B.D. Stevens Limited and Butler Brothers. Clayton was well known for his woodworking and wood carvings, and his work is proudly displayed in the homes of many family members.
Clayton retired in 1999 and over the last twenty years spent time travelling. He took several trips to various locations throughout the country from Gros Morne, NL, to the Inside Passage, BC and many places in-between. He liked Nova Scotia the best and, along with his wife Brenda, hiked many of the trails and beaches in the province. He also loved to spend time with family and friends, and to have a lively game of 45s – Clayton will be dearly missed.
A private family interment will take place at the Centre Falmouth Cemetery, 155 Town Road, Falmouth.
