Our sincere condolences in the loss of your son, brother and grandson. Children aren’t supposed to die before their parents, but obviously God has something in mind for Stephen. May God be with you in your loss.

Our deepest condolences to you on Stevie’s passing.We started working on the line together in Strathroy.
Many memorable times at the picnic table talking about computers and all components.
His wit and sense of humor made breaks interesting. And his willingness to always give a helping hand at work was very much appreciated.
Especially the past few weeks on the new line.
He will be deeply missed by many.

Being a cousin of Stephen’s Aunt Jane I have never met Stephen, but now have the elation of meeting him in God’s Devine kingdom. Our sincere condolences to all Family & Friends of Stephen. I feel Stephen might have composed the following:
I’M FREE
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard his call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found the peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys-
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief-
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee-
God wanted me now; He set me free.

You’ll smile again dear sister
Much sooner than you think
As from Christ’s cup of Life
Stephen begins to drink.
Each sip he takes will nourish
All that knew him here on Earth
Especially you dear sister
God chose You for his birth.
Love in the Lord

It’s been one year since Steves been here
With his family,co-workers and friends
Where he is now,with Christ we pray
His life will never end.
His suffering has gone,and likewise his pain
Also, pulled apron strings,and big toothy grins
Good memories…he left with us all
And it’s those, this day we recall.
In loving memory of my dear nephew Stephen
