Lamont Walcott

In Loving Memory

November 19, 1948 – December 31, 2024

Lamont Baswert Walcott (Trevor), 76, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2024, at
Lakeridge Health Ajax Pickering. He was born on November 19, 1948, in Burnt Savannah, Westmoreland, Jamaica, to the late Lynden Wellesley Walcott and Valerie Eunice Patterson.

Lamont was a loving father, brother, uncle and grandfather. He is survived by his two son’s Michael Leo Walcott and Radcliff Samuels; and his four grandchildren, Mykal Walcott, Mical Walcott, Malachi Walcott and Elara Walcott. He is also survived by his 6 siblings, Emzie Martin, Lloyd Walcott, Clive Walcott, Lorna Walcott, Shanie Walcott, and Sharon Patterson.

Lamont was a skilled Welder and an avid Football (soccer) enthusiast. He lived in Jamaica for 33 years and immigrated to Canada in 1981 to join his family who had migrated to Canada over the years. Lamont was a religious man who dedicated his life to Rastafarianism in his early years. While he was often known for his serious demeanor, beneath it all was a man with a heart of gold. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering loyalty touched everyone around him. Despite his reserved nature, he was always ready to lend a helping hand, offer support, and show compassion to those he loved. His actions spoke louder than words and his love for his family was evident in everything he did.

In his later years, Lamont faced several medical challenges that required him to use a wheelchair and receive round-the-clock care. He resided at Orchard Villa Long-Term Care Home for 22 years, where he was lovingly supported until his passing. During his time at Orchard Villa, Lamont began attending the Agape Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church, where he was eventually baptized as a Seventh-day Adventist.

A visitation will be held prior to the funeral service on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, from 9:30 AM – 11 AM at Agape Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1999 Fairport Rd, Pickering, Ontario.
