Obituary of Eric Clayburn

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Eric Clayburn on June 5th, 2025, at St. Marys Hospital, surrounded by the love of family and friends.

Eric was a devoted husband to the late Colleen Clayburn, who passed in July 2024. Together, they shared a life filled with love, resilience, and deep family roots. Eric was a proud and caring father to Dan, Alan, Willy (Jane), and Neil (Shayla). He was also a beloved grandfather to Brandon (Kelsie), Nick (Danielle), Mike (Katherine), Austin (Heather), Kyle, Colby, Reegen and Emma and to seven great-grandchildren, each of whom brought him great joy and pride. Eric’s quiet strength, warm spirit, and deep love for his family will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all who knew him.

Special thanks to staff at St. Marys Memorial Hospital and Stratford General Hospital.

A private memorial service will be held at the gravesite, in accordance with the family’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, a cause close to the family's heart.

Forever in our hearts, Eric’s legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the family he cherished.
