Billie Joe (William Arthur) Steever
1954-2021
It is with great sadness that the family announces the
passing of Billie, third child of Marie (Young) and the Late Joseph
Steever.
Survived by daughters Jill and Lisa (and their
mother, Paulette); grandchildren, Alyssa (Papa’s nickname
Boo Boo), Julia (Papa’s nickname Cheeks), Maxim, Everett and
Joseph; siblings Barbara Steever-Banks (late Danny), Sheila
Steever Ingersoll (late David and George Gallant), John (Mabel), as
well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Growing up, Billie had the nickname of Rooty toot the
Professor and was always wiring, building, tearing apart or putting
back together one thing or another – much to
Marie’s chagrin at times. Partners in crime
(besides siblings) while growing up, were buddies Gordon Bye and Tom
Springer – we’ve all heard the
stories!
An electrician/welder by trade (IBEW Local 2166),
Billie’s interests and talents were many, including but not
limited to, flying remote control airplanes, fishing, hunting,
motorbiking, scuba diving, metal detecting and dancing.
Billie built two homes that Jill and Lisa grew up in and
held many family gatherings with the specialty being the annual
Steever Mussel Party (started by dear old Uncle Vic). Over the years,
Billie ran a skidder, backhoe, farm tractor and chrome plating
shop. Life with Billie was anything but dull.
Billie was a past member of the Fredericton Motorcycle Club which
resulted in many great trips and memories, especially with dear
friends Ann and Chris Stewart, long-time travel buddies. A past member
of the NB Liberal Association and Local Service District, Billie had a
caring spirit when in good health. The family is grateful for
many years of wonderful memories.
Due to Covid restrictions, a private family service will be
held at St. Dunstan’s Roman Catholic Church with Father Bill
Brennan officiating. For those who wish, the service can be watched
online on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 11 am, at the following link:

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canadian Mental Health
Association or a charity dear to your heart.
