Clint passed away suddenly, though surrounded by his family and their love, on June 22, 2022, in Victoria, BC. He was born on October 29, 1977 in Prince Albert, SK.
He was predeceased by his mother Jeannine Megaffin, niece Rebeca Durand, grandparents Eleutheria & Thomas Dewey and Geneva & Albert Megaffin. He is survived by his son Nolan Megaffin, ex-wife Courtney Megaffin, father Gary Megaffin, sister Jennifer (Cory) Durand, brother Scott (Sarah Tait) Megaffin, nieces Cory Jo Durand, Brianna & Brooke Megaffin and nephew Austin Megaffin.
Clint attended primary school in MacDowall, SK, and then secondary in Prince Albert, SK, where he graduated from St. Mary High School. After high school, he moved to Saskatoon, SK, and obtained his Bachelors of Commerce (Finance) degree from the University of Saskatchewan and was accepted into the College of Law at the University of Victoria in 1999. He received his Juris Doctor, Law in 2002, and was called to the bar after articling in Vancouver, BC, in 2003. He then returned to Victoria, BC, where he would call home. Clint worked for the Province of British Columbia in various departments for more than a decade, before venturing out to private practice. He loved the research involved in supporting and arguing his cases.
In the midst of all that, Clint took on the most important job of all in 2008 by becoming a father. Nolan was Clint’s pride and joy. They enjoyed kicking each other’s butts at video games and Clint used his joy of cooking to spoil Nolan with special meals. They shared a passion for sports and took trips together to attend NFL and NHL games. Clint took great joy in watching Nolan in all of his pursuits, but football was his passion. He was a dedicated father and was excited to be a football dad. The two of them enjoyed camping as well as spending time with family.
Clint was a member of Mensa Canada and loved learning and challenging himself. He also loved trivia and could retain the weirdest information. It was a mistake to challenge him at Trivial Pursuit. He’d also skunk you any day of the week if you made the mistake of saying yes to a game of cribbage. He was an avid reader and often researched topics that piqued his curiosity. He loved vintage sport cars as well as working with his hands.
A celebration of Clint’s life will be held at the Shelbourne Street Church of Christ, 3460 Shelbourne Street, Victoria, BC, on Saturday, July 2, 2022 at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a local food bank.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Judi Bechard-Lambert It is with a heavy heart I express my deepest condolences to each and every member of the Megaffin family. Clint and I began working together 18 months ago at Lambert Law. Clint’s buoyant spirit and cheerful disposition always brought a smile. His knack for remembering details combined with his consideration for others have left a lasting impression on me. Weeks after Clint learned I was launching into an ambitious new specialized course of learning, he thoughtfully took time to pop into my office to ask me how the course was going, and find out more about it. Thoughtfulness is the hallmark of Clint’s personal interactions me. Nolan and the entire Megaffin family will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant you the strength and courage to walk through this difficult time.
