Lyndon Duncan Fleming
June 14, 1964 - June 8, 2023
With profound sadness the family of Lyndon D. Fleming announces his passing on June 8, 2023 at the age of 58.
Lyndon was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario where he began his career in roofing with his uncle Frank Trombley.
Lyndon went on to become a Red Seal Sheet Metal Journeyman.
He was a proud, hard-working, well-respected member of the SMWU Local 8 in Edmonton and Local 30 in Toronto.
Lyndon was also an avid learner who excelled in every additional trade ticket he acquired at George Brown College (Toronto) and N.I.A.T. (Edmonton).
He most recently graduated from the HVAC Specialist program at N.I.A.T. with Distinction.
Although Lyndon’s heart often pulled him back to Ontario, he had found his home in Edmonton, Alberta. He hoped to retire in Northern Ontario, closer to his family, but his life with us was cut short before he could enjoy a well earned and well deserved retirement.
Lyndon’s strong faith and Christian values guided and sustained him throughout his life and provided great strength, courage and grace when faced with cancer, a battle he fought valiantly, but one he could not win.
Lyndon was predeceased by his father, Arthur Balfe Fleming and survived by his mother, Mary Elizabeth Fleming (nee Trombley), brother George Fleming, sister Carolyn Rutetzki, sister Susanne Fleming, many cousins and many friends.
Lyndon is remembered for his calm, quiet nature and as someone who always made time to listen when someone needed to share.
Visitation will be held at the Mangan Funeral Home Beaverton on Saturday June 17th from 11a.m until time of funeral service in the chapel at 1p.m. Interment St. Joseph's Cemetery Beaverton to follow.
In lieu of flowers, please consider performing a simple act of kindness in Lyndon’s honour, as Lyndon was a strong believer in paying it forward.
