Gary Frederick Steeves
We Celebrate a life well lived, Gary Frederick Steeves left
us on August 14th, 2019. His absence has left a huge void in our
lives, but the memories we made will never go away.
Gary was 75 years old, born in Midway NB, the second son of
Ernest and Myrtle (Crawford) Steeves formerly of Hopewell
Cape.
After graduating from Hillsborough High School in 1961 he
went to work for the Bank of Nova Scotia then moved on to enjoy a
lengthy career (and the camaraderie of his many co-workers) in Credit
Management, first with the T. Eaton Company until 1975 and then with
Co-op Atlantic until his retirement. Throughout his career Gary was
also very involved with the Credit Institute of Canada, receiving many
awards recognizing him for his work in promoting credit management
education. He also gave generously of his time volunteering on various
Credit Union Boards.
Gary will be remembered for his unique sense of humor,
practical jokes, kind heart and generous nature. We are all
the better for having had him in our lives.
Gary is deeply missed by his wife of 46 years Sharron
(Munson), their two children Matthew (Nell Chitty) and Sarah. His
cherished memories will also be shared with the most recent member of
the family, his infant grandson Thomas Steeves. Also grieving his
absence are his many in-laws, nieces, nephews and
cousins.
He was predeceased by his older brother Richard and both his
parents.
A very special thank you to family, friends, the amazing
first responders, volunteers of the Alma and Riverside Albert Fire
Departments and the Tri County Ground Search and Rescue who assisted
on August 14. Your care and compassion will never be
forgotten.
The family would like to invite all who knew and loved Gary
to attend a celebration of his life on Monday, October 14 at the
Albert County Funeral Home, Hopewell Cape beginning with a service at
1:00 PM followed by a time of visitation with the
family.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial
donations to the Waterside Cemetery or the charity of your
choice.
Arrangements are in the care of the Albert County Funeral
Home, 4130 Route 114, Hopewell Cape, NB, E4H-3K2 734-2780
