With profound sadness and broken hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Stewart Lang (Stew) on April 17, 2022 in Victoria, BC. Beloved son of Yvette and Gord; adored brother of Marcelle (husband Brian); cherished Uncle to Reyven; treasured grandson to Irvin (who preceded him in death) (Suzanne) and Dorothy, loved nephew to Stewart Thompson, Ian Thompson, Michelle Johnson, Brent Lang (Jill); and loved cousin to Dylan, Yvette, Shelly, Reagan and Jesse.
Stewart was also preceded in death by his cherished dogs Duke and Nitro.
Stew was a beautiful soul with a kind, loving and generous heart. He loved dogs more than anything, previously volunteering at an animal rescue farm in Vancouver. He was also a Big Brother to his dear friend Ben.
A highly skilled Red Seal Journeyman Plumber, Stew was also a Certified Gas and Pipefitter and was part of the Victoria Plumbers and Pipefitters Union.
Stew adored his family and friends. He had a small circle of lifelong best friends and a huge circle of friends and extended family, whom he loved dearly. He had a beautiful sparkle and energy, a mega-watt smile and a laugh that lit up the room.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Stew’s name to the Humane Society, the SPCA or Big Brothers Big Sisters.

I just found out about Stewart’s passing two years later. I went to Lake Hill with him and haven’t seen him since then but I’m shocked and saddened by this. He was such a goofy, fun, bright person when I knew him. Rest in peace, Stewart.
Dear Geordie and Yvette,
This morning, out of the blue, Dave said he was thinking of you both and we talked about Marcelle and Stewart, and the last time we ran into you, Yvette, at a store. So, while Dave was at his men’s group, I thought I would try and find a phone number. Sadly, instead I found Stewart’s memorial page. I cannot tell you how sorry I am to you all in the loss of your wonderful son and brother. I have such pleasant memories of Marcelle and Stewart and the mischief they got into at times as well.. I was able to watch the memorial and see how loved and cherished he was. Yvette, I would love to get together. If that is something you would like to do, just let me know❤️
Love to you, Gordie, and Marcelle.
