Steve was a special person who was a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend. He was a kind and gentle soul who always gave to others with a smile and a hug, but Angels always do. Steve was employed by PCL as a journeyman carpenter and enjoyed many close friendships with his colleagues and co-workers. He was well respected and very respectful of others and took pride in his workmanship. The family would like to thank auntie Lorraine and uncle Steve, close friends Bryan and Cathy and Paul and Tori and all our family and friends for all the love, care and support during this very difficult time.

A heart of gold stopped beating, Hard working hands went to rest, God took you home to prove to us, He only takes the best. You always did your best, Your heart was true and tender, You lived your life for those you loved, And those you loved will remember. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
