SAWYER, Marc
1962 - 2024
It is with immense heartbreak that we announce the unexpected passing of Marc R. Sawyer on July 22, 2024. Born on May 6, 1962 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario to the late Harvey and Rose Sawyer.
He unfortunately leaves behind his son Adam Sawyer (Karlee), grandson Liam, grand-dog Sully, daughter Valerie Champion (Marc-Antoine) and grand-dog Molly.
He spent a great deal of his working time in construction and maintenance at the Kirkland Lake Medical Centre on Second Street.
Marc was incredibly proud of his children and would cheer them on at their athletic events and Valerie’s pageants. He celebrated their academic and professional achievements and never missed an opportunity to tell others what his children were up to.
Memories of good times, singing and dancing to music, tobogganing and fishing will be cherished by all those who knew him.
It’s not goodbye, it’s we’ll see you later.
In lieu of cards, please donate to the Salvation Army - Food Bank (6 Sylvanite Avenue, Kirkland Lake, ON P2N 2C7) if you can.
A Celebration of Marc’s Life will be held upstairs at The Federal Tavern on Saturday August 3rd, 2024 from 1:00pm-4:00pm.

Dear Adam, Val and families, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I will always remember Marc as a hard working, loving and caring person. We went to school today. I worked with Marc for 14 years at the Medical Centre and he would do anything to help. He ALWAYS carried a great conversation, would always put a smile on my face, lightened my sadness when I needed it by his caring words, advice and jokes. He talked a lot about you and Val in how much he loved the two of you. You two were his ENTIRE world. He told me this over and over again. We never walked by each other without stopping and chatting. He would update me with what was going on in his life and the hardship he was going through towards the last couple of years of his life. The last time we spoke was at the doctor’s office and I had wished that they did not call me in for my appointment as we were having such a great conversation. Although what he was going through at the time, he always had that contagious smile. He left this earth way way too soon. My heart is broken for all of you. He sure will be missed by all that knew him. Sending you all my sincere condolences!!! Micheline and Paul Guertin

I am very sorry to receive the news of Marc’s death. I taught Marc so many years ago and always enjoyed having him as a student! He was always interesting and friendly to speak with then and later as a citizen of KL. Some good memories!
I am so sorry for family’s loss- Brian Hamilton

I got to know Marc and his brother Mike during the years they lived on Hudson Bay Avenue and would often stop into Goldland Billiards. I always enjoyed seeing them and later in life I would coach Adam in minor hockey which afforded me the opportunity to see Marc frequently at the rink. God Bless the family during this difficult time️

I was so very heartbroken to hear of your dad's passing. Marc was a kind and loving soul.
In 2006, we had a St. Joseph reunion. He was very kind in opening up his home on 3rd Street to all of us. He took pride in making everything just perfect. I was so grateful for his help.
We often talked. He will be missed dearly. My prayers and condolences.
