The family of Lawson Barkhouse announces his peaceful passing on July 26, 2023. He was surrounded by his family when he lost his short battle with cancer at the Halifax Rehabilitation Center.
Our Father was born on January 18, 1948 in Truro to the late Elizabeth “Betty” (Lynds) and Carl Barkhouse. He was to married Judy MacKay in 1972.
Our Father worked for many years in automotive sales. He enjoyed all sports and in particular loved telling stories of his Truro Bearcats days. He had many tales of his fishing trips, especially his deep-sea adventures. ¬¬He was a Habs fan right to the end. His passion for music was a huge part of his life, playing saxophone in a number of bands and always singing unrequested songs when the mood struck him.
He is survived by his loving wife Judy and his four children, Cleve, Erin (Keith Grakist), Lesley (Garron Carmichael) and Morgan (Anthony weeks); He will also be missed by his grandchildren, Ashlyn and Brayden (Grakist) Sawyer and Rory (Weeks) and Calvin and Reese (Barkhouse-Carmichael).
The family wish to extend their appreciation to the incredible Nurses of the 7th floor of the Halifax Rehabilitation Center, the cleaning staff and the Nutritional team for their care and outstanding kindness.
As per Dad’s request there will only be a private family gathering.
In lieu of flowers, take your family out to dinner ~
