Kenzie Beaton

It is with heavy hearts and the greatest of sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, grandson – Kenzie John Beaton on Jan 28, 2012, in the Royal Alexander Hospital in Edmonton Alta. He was the son of Debbie (MacDonald) and A.J. Beaton of Mabou Harbour. He was born December 8, 1989, at the Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital.

Kenzie went on to graduate from Cumberland Community College in 2010, with Utility Lineman Technician and worked with McGreger Construction as a lineman in Alberta.

His big heart, humour and infectious smile will live forever in the hearts of those he touched and the close friends he made.
