It is with heavy hearts, shock and disbelief that we announce the death of our boy, Asininini - Stone Man - Alexander Charles Dalton, at the age of 23. His journey here ended before we were ready, returning to the spirit world, leaving an unfathomable void. Alex was killed in a horrific hit and run 3 vehicle accident in the evening hours of April 23, 2021. Just taking a quick scoot 'round the block testing out adjustments while working on his motorcycle. Before making it back home, he was stolen from our world in that unchangeable ripple of time.
Alex was buried at the King families Heritage Farm on Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation on Friday, April 30th. Alex was blanketed in an outpouring of love from those closest to him and his family. We are all so grateful to have the love and support from our community, friends and family at this time.
Alex leaves behind his Mom, Andrea King; his Dad, Wayne Dalton; his big sister Kaytee and his "little" brother Jake. Survived by his Nana Diane Dalton and Grandma Karen King predeceased by his Papa, Max King.
Alex remains in the hearts of The Browns; Auntie Katharine, Uncle Andrew, cousins Myles (Maddie) Sylas, Julius and Alysse. The Kings; Uncle Matt, Aunt Steph, Thyssen and Ethan. His cousins; Falcon King and Jazmin Sault, their mother Kari Ivany and recently predeceased by his Uncle Karl King. The Dalton's; Uncle Larry, Auntie Silvana, Robert, Chiara and Sara. Alex will be remembered by the hundreds of relationships he has with his extended family on both King and Dalton sides and an immeasurable number of friends and CGC mine co-workers whose lives he touched as he travelled on his path. Special thanks to his pallbearers who represented his crews from all aspects of his life; Myles Brown, Keith Dalton, Craig King, Hayden Atkins, Julien LaFleur, Travis Sinclair, Ethan Lee, Callum McDonald and Brody Case.
"The boy I call my first son left a positive impact on everyone he met. I'm so proud of him and honoured that he chose me as his life giver. He loved his existence. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his trucks. He loved his toys. He loved hanging with his boys. He loved his freedom. He savored every moment. He smiled at everyone. He dreamed big, set unrealistic goals and did crazy stupid things! He was gorgeous. His blue eyes melted hearts. His magnetic energy filled rooms. His voice echoed love for everyone and everything that surrounded him. He walked the talk and honoured his connections to the world he inhabited." - Andrea, aka "Ma" - Chi Adewewin Agwanjin Aazhoge Miigwan Aniishinaabe Kwe
