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.

Although I had not met Stewart, throughout the years, I’ve heard so many warm loving comments about him. What a wonderful young man he was.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Although his physical presence is no longer here, you have not ‘lost’ him. He is forever in the hearts of everyone who knew him, and so many lives have been made far richer by having known him.

Dear Suzanne
So sorry to hear of the loss of Stew. We did not know him but I remember when he was born as I was taking accordion lessons from Irv & he said that he had a grandson. Sue, you have kept us up on the family happenings for which it has been much appreciated. After 11 years of lessons, it makes you feel part of the family. Our sympathy goes out to everyone of you as well as his friends. Take care everyone at this difficult time.
