Predeceased by his father, Stefan, Steve will be deeply missed by his wife of 37 years, Elisabeth; children, Stephanie and Nicolas (Sonja); granddaughter, Ella; brother, Michael; mother, Fiona; and dog, Jojo.
Steve received his Bachelor and Master of Civil Engineering from Carleton University before moving to Vancouver in 1984, where he later received his designation as a Chartered Accountant. He worked for the BC Public Service for 32 years, most recently serving as the CFO for the Ministry of Finance before retiring in 2019.
A devoted husband and family man, Steve adored his wife and took joy in spending time with his kids.
He was intelligent, patient, humble, and a natural problem solver. He designed and built the family home and could often be found woodworking in the garage or tending to his garden. Steve loved to travel with his wife – and often in the company of good friends, Tim and Viki.
A heartfelt thank you to the nurses and doctors at Victoria Hospice and BC Cancer for the warm care Steve and his family received. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Agency or Victoria Hospice.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.
