    Steve had a way of making everyone feel like you were his favourite. He had a special gift in that way. He would help anyone to connect with nature. He will be sadly missed by our family and we will remember our good friend and honour his memory for all of our days. I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss.

    Although we only knew Steve for a few years, I can say he was always so chipper, helpful and such a warm spirit around camp. We didn’t see him this year a lot at camp but when we did it was always with little Percy following along behind in tow. God speed my friend, your missed by so many.

    ‘Hey Crud’..anyone who knew that Steve & I were best friends for the best part of 30 yrs will understand this. It was our nick names for each other as far back as I can remember. Can’t remember how it happened but it stuck. Steve was my best man at my wife Judy’s & mine wedding. Seems like few years ago, but 32 now. I was like the 6th child in the Maxwell family, that’s how close I was with Steve. We essentially did everything together for many many yrs. Hunting, fishing, drinking, hockey. Two peas in a pod. We drifted apart over time as it sometimes happens but stayed in touch through social media. Lost track of Steve last few yrs but I know he hadn’t forgot about me, as he knew I hadn’t forgot about him. Saw him at June’s funeral few yrs back & when we saw each other time melted away. Now I’m saying goodbye to my best friend. I know we’ll see each other later on. Miss ya Buddy. R.I.P. Steve.

    Steve, my big brother, as siblings we may not have always seen eye to eye. When we were younger we fought as many siblings do. You got me in trouble and also got me out. You were a pain and a friend, I always knew you were there if I needed something and you would help in any way you could. You were a good friend to many, and as my big brother I am feeling the loss in ways I never expected to, Bye Steve, you will be remembered. Love forever, till we meet again. My heartfelt condolences to Heather, Samantha, Stacey, and Mike along with all their families, on the loss of their Dad and to Mike, Sheila and Shelley. Now Five become Four.
