1963 - 24 septembre 2019
Steve peacefully passed away on the evening of September 24, 2019, at the age of 55. He is survived by his wife, Sammy, and his children, Jasmine and Justin.
We created this page for those who wanted to share their memories of Steve, a proud Canadian who lived an adventurous life with friends from all over the world
Steve's life was defined by his adventurous and independent spirit, and his (sometimes offensive) sense of humour. As Steve’s mom, would put it: he was always entertaining, never boring, and usually hair-raising adventuresome.
When Steve had a goal, he achieved it. This resulted in his successful career as an engineer and his international lifestyle. He loved to travel; his first major trip after high school was a trip touring through Europe. That was just the start of his travelling story. Throughout his life, he also ended up in Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and Oceania. He enjoyed the adventure of working overseas and ending up in new places, and he loved sharing those experiences with his loved ones.
Steve was never afraid to speak his mind, especially when it came to his sense of humour. His confidence and sense of self earned him many friends. As many of you know, Steve loved to joke around and laugh. Even after his brain surgeries, he could find humour in the situation, making jokes about only having 3/4 a brain. One of his accomplishments after his first surgery was becoming a MENSA member. His drive to bounce back after each health setback, quite likely as a result of his determination to live his life by his own terms, meant that we had so many more extra years with Steve than anyone could have expected.
In memory of Steve, we hope you will consider donating to a cancer research foundation.
Here is an awesome Canadian foundation: https://www.braintumour.ca/6915/donate-now

I first met Steve at the Santa Fe Base, Merak, West Java in 1988 when he arrived to join the site commissioning team for Suralaya power station. He became great friends with my wife and I and was like a hilarious uncle to our son. While at the base he bought a wind surfer board and would practise in the bay. He was a natural and encouraged me to try it. We also arranged a trip together with the team on a diving boat to Krakatoa volcano, a very long day but a memorable experience! Steve was a great photographer and would take long exposure shots of the frequent lightning storms. I still have one he took of Merak base and gave to us. It's been on the wall of our home office for decades. (A happy memoriy of our friend Steve). Eventually, we all moved on but kept in touch. One day a few years back he contacted me to say he was coming to Scotland on business and I gave him our home address. So Maureen and I are sitting in the family room watching tv and out of the blue, Steve strolls in, grabs a beer and joins us. In no time at all we were back in step , laughing over a great meal and joking about life in general. That was the last time we saw Steve but heard he was having health issues. We are so sorry to read so late about his passing and would just like to send our belated condolences to his family. Steve was a great guy and we miss him so we'll try to still do his favourite things.

Steve was a great guy to work with, highly intelligent and really knew his stuff. His sense of humour was infectious and helped everyone around him get through the day. He got a kick out of a show called Noel Fielding’s luxury comedy and hated the term pre-planning. Steve spoke proudly of his family and his home in Canada. He was a great guy and will be missed by all who knew him.

I met Steve when he was in Shangri-La nursing home, Hurstville, NSW Australia. His brother, Scott introduced me to him. It was one of the greatest privileges I have had to see him begin a spiritual journey before he left this world. I was blessed to have travelled with him in those last months and see the great transformation that happens when a person trusts in the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Amazingly Steve came back to consciousness when Scott arrived from Canada and the two brothers had some precious moments together a few days before he went to his eternal home. I know many of his old friends would find this hard to believe, but IT IS TRUE. I am a witness of Steve's final weeks. And I am certain that He is safe in the presence of Jesus Christ even now. May God bless all who read these words.
