Weatherhead, Norman “Todd” – passed away at home in Rawdon Gold Mines on December 16, 2021 at the age of 46.
He was predeceased by his father, Norman Weatherhead; grandparents, Clyde and Gertie (Bond) Weatherhead; grandfather, Ken Fenton; cousins, Joey White and Shane MacPhee; father and mother-in-law, Dana and Orma Wilson; and great-grandmother, “Nana” Curran.
Todd is survived by his loving wife, Lana (Wilson); mother, Valerie (Fenton) Weatherhead, Rawdon Gold Mines; brother, Corey, Lower Sackville; grandmother, Lill Fenton, Falmouth; goddaughter, Megan White, Kennnetcook; sister-in-law, Tina Patten, Calmar, AB; nephew, Quinn Patten, Calmar, AB; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends
With heavy hearts the family announce the passing of Todd after a brief, but courageous battle with cancer at home surrounded by family and friends. Todd was a long-time employee of The Shaw Group Ltd. where he was manager of the Block and Brick divisions. Todd took great pride in his work. He was known to be somewhat stubborn but fair to all his employees and co-workers alike. All who knew Todd will remember and miss his sarcastic and somewhat dry sense of humor, quick wit and one-liners. Todd’s love of music, especially Classic Country (Hank Williams: Jambalaya) and racing led him to an interest in travel, taking him to several popular locations with friends and family, such as Nashville, Bristol, New Hampshire and a near cross country trip across Canada. Todd loved to do the driving and as expected he was a firm believer that if you got off route there was no need to turn around. Todd had a “Keep it Real” attitude that earned him the respect and admiration of anyone he knew…whether they liked it or not.
Special thanks to Todd’s family and friends who visited, called and helped-out in many ways during his illness and all of Todd’s doctors and nurses in Halifax and Truro, VON care givers, nurses and palliative care team.
A Celebration of Todd’s life will be held later in 2022 once the weather turns warmer…a much better time for classic cars to be on the road
Flowers gratefully declined.
