Michael Edward Hamilton

Micheal Edward Hamilton, age 68, of Kingston, Nova Scotia, passed away peacefully at home on November 9, 2026, surrounded by his family.

Born on January 21, 1958, in Middleton, Nova Scotia, Mike was the son of the late Edward and Lexie (Mumford) Hamilton.

Mike was raised in Lawrencetown, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, where he began his working career in the family business, Hamilton Construction. He later built his own home just up the road, which would become the family home and the setting for many cherished memories.

After spending his early working years in construction, Mike moved into sales with Annapolis Valley Radio. He and his wife, Christine, later purchased the Save Easy in Middleton, followed by Town & Country Video and then Venus Video. After many years of owning and operating businesses, Mike returned to construction, working for himself and building a new home for himself and Christine in Kingston.

In his later years, Mike worked in car sales at Connell Chrysler before becoming a sales trainer with Exclusive Private Sales Inc.

Mike enjoyed spending time with family and friends, especially the many gatherings in the backyard around the pool at their home in Lawrencetown. Those summer days were filled with laughter, music, and memories that will be treasured by those who shared them.

A lifelong lover of classic rock, Mike always had music playing and passed along his appreciation for music to his children and grandchildren.

Mike is survived by his wife of 38 years, Christine (MacCarthy); his daughter, Kristin (Rick) Hubley of Hillsvale, Nova Scotia; and his son, Ryan (Heidi) Hamilton of Middleton, Nova Scotia. He will be lovingly remembered by his three granddaughters, Rachel, Kaylee, and Maycie, who held a very special place in his heart and loved their Grampy dearly.

He is also survived by his brothers, Rick (Sandi) Hamilton and David (Elena) Hamilton; his sister, Sue (LeRoy) Wood; several nieces and nephews; and his special "adopted son," Reid Crooks.

Mike was predeceased by his father, Edward Hamilton, and his mother, Lexie Hamilton.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mike’s good friend Rodney Veinot for all of the visits over the years. A special thank you to the Palliative Care Team and the doctors and nurses of the Kidney Clinic in Halifax for their compassionate care and support.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Middleton Funeral Home on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
