Stephen Ellis

Steve peacefully ended his earthbound journey at Saanich Peninsula Hospital on Thursday, March 12, 2015, four months shy of his 49th birthday. He leaves two sons, David and Jason; brother and sister-in-law, Cameron and Christina and two nieces, Fiona and Gwendolyn; parents Dauna and Robert, plus an extended group of family and friends in Canada and Australia. Thank you to Laurie and to Jim, good friends to Steve. Thanks also to Dr. Ambrose Marsh, Adam Newton and staff at SPH for the care and comfort given to Steve, especially by Mavelle, at the end. He had a special place in the hearts of many, making connection was very important to him. Steve struggled with his demons, but he had a beautiful heart, and will be remembered for his wit and sense of humour, his work ethic and his generosity. We have deep gratitude for having had him in our lives. There will be no service, but please raise a glass to Steve, and in his memory, pass on a random act of kindness. We love you, Steve - rest easy. Be at peace.
