He was the stepfather of Chris (Laurie) and Tanya (Rod), the dear grandfather of Aidan, Audrina, Rebeca, Carter, and Jeremy and great-grandfather of Ryker and Findley. Overton will be fondly remembered by his dear friends Lee (Ava) Larkin and John (Glenda) Strudwick, and by his mother-in-law Margaret Milotte. He leaves behind his half-siblings Brian, Heather, Nancy, and Melody. He was predeceased by his half-siblings Marlene and Kenny. Overton will never be forgotten by Mary’s extended family, his many cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family, friends, and co-workers. Overton worked as an Elevator Mechanic in Ottawa for over 35 years, on many buildings and shopping centers across the valley and was a long-standing member of the International Union of Elevator Constructors Local 96, Ottawa. His passions were fishing and hunting, both he did at every opportunity granted.
