It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Kenneth Joseph Nantais, 69, of Amherst,
NS, on Thursday, December 30, 2021 at the Cumberland Regional Health
Care Centre. Born in Windsor, ON, Ken was a son of the late
Hillary and Virginia Nantais.
Our Dad was someone who was seen as a
quiet listener but very generous and loving to those who knew him
well. As a person who celebrated his sobriety for over 20 years and a
tutor to many students in Amherst over the years, he was well known in
the community.
Since 2018, he became an avid traveler
and he and his 2 children, and partner Julie, were able to travel and
see the world, going to Iceland, Portugal, Peru, United Kingdom and
Morocco which he thoroughly enjoyed and reviewed the photos from his
adventures on a regular basis.
Ken will be dearly missed by his
children, Jennifer Nantais, Toronto and Darrel (Jane Logan) Nantais,
Scarborough, ON; his common law partner, Julie Lines, Amherst; his
brothers and sisters, Donna Marie (Gerald) Wellings. Raymond
(Helen) Nantais. Christopher (Sherry) Nantais.
Darlene (Eriks) Ekmanis. Joel Nantais. Denise

well as several nieces and nephews.
