It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the loss of Lawrence Gordon Hawton, who passed away on October 24, 2025, at the age of 88, surrounded by his loving family.

His grandchildren Kurtis, Koddy (Amanda), Garett, Jake, Marshall (Caitlyn), and Jenna will cherish the countless memories with him. Lawrence always took an interest in their lives and work, instilling in everyone a strong sense of responsibility and a tireless work ethic. He was overjoyed to welcome his first great-grandchild, Ivy, who brought him great happiness.
Predeceased by his parents, Lillian and Gordon Hawton, he will be fondly remembered by his brother Paul (Gerrit), (predeceased by Helen) and nephew David and predeceased by niece Janet. Brother in law to Gail (Jim) Gould and Wayne (Marjorie) Whiteside.
Born and raised in Beeton, Lawrence had a lifelong passion for farming and a deep commitment to his community. Lawrence was a carpenter and built several homes in the area. At just 16 years old, he joined the local fire department, claiming he was old enough to serve, which he was not. He went on to dedicate more than 50 years of service, proudly holding the positions of Captain and later Chief. He was also a Councillor and then Reeve of the Village of Beeton. He was on the Committee of Adjustment for New Tecumseth. Lawrence was the Livestock Evaluator for Beeton and Bradford for years and also a member of the Beeton Lions Club. Lawrence and Joan also had a partnership with his good friend in the Beeton store “Doc’s Gift and Variety “ for several years.
Forever remembered and always in our hearts.
