STEVEN MacNAY
Steven Robert MacNay passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Nov. 1, 2023 at Huron Shores Hospice in Tiverton after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 66 years old.
Steve had a love for life that will not be forgotten. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved spending his days socializing with family and friends, fishing, hunting and traveling the world. His happiest days were spent living his dream, travelling in his motorhome to the East Coast and Florida.
Steve is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Mary A. MacNay; and his mother Mary B. MacNay.
He will be deeply missed by his children: Candice (Kyle) Wilson and Michael (Nicki) MacNay. Steve was a proud Papa of his three granddaughters: Evie, Poppy and Addi.
Dear brother of Sharon MacNay and brother-in-law to Dianne (Brad) Rotteau, Al Matheson, Linda McQuillin, Tom (Pauline) Kempton, and Helen (Brian) VanOsch. Cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by his father Robert A. MacNay, father-in-law Bill Kempton, mother-in-law Janet Kempton, brother-in-law Rick McQuillin and sister-in-law Sandra Matheson.
Though Steve was taken from us too soon, we will remember his quick-witted humour and brilliant one-liners. He will be missed by many friends who were like family and the community which he proudly called home.
Heartfelt thanks to the team of doctors: Dr. Michael Ott, and Dr. Michael Sanatani of London Health Sciences Center, and Dr. Damian Gunaratne for the compassionate care. A special thank you to Katrina Kruller, Steve’s favourite nurse.
