MAYNARD, Clayton. It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that the Maynard family announces the passing of their dear Clayton on May 11, 2020 at Bridgepoint Hospital after a short battle with cancer - in his 71st year. Clayton, husband to Margaret, father to Caroline (Duncan), Rick (Lisa) and Darlene (Coady). Grandfather to Michael, Aaron, DJ, Emily, Ashley, Kelly, Mary Jai, Skylar and Travis, Great Grandfather to James, Nathaniel and Noah. Brother to Phyllis, John (Sue), Doug (Rachel), Howard (Elaine), Christine, Brenda, Caroline (Kevin), Andrew (Carolyn), Ava, Minnette (Hunt), Dan (Pat), Stan (Sarah), Bob (Darlene) and Winston (Nadine). Clayton was pre-deceased by his parents Andrew & Harriett of Newfoundland as well as his mother-in-law Annie Henwood (Nancy) of Toronto. Clayton was a good, caring family man who often put others first. Over the years he played Santa Claus to many children in his neighborhood as well as to family and friends. He will be missed by countless nieces, nephews and friends. Due to Covid 19, there will not be any funeral services but at a later date a celebration of life will be held. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Canadian Cancer Society. Please sign the guestbook and share a memory you have of Clayton.

Thank you,

The Maynard Family

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight.

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there. I did not die.
