Stephen Dale Elmy

Stephen Dale Elmy, 71, of Ajax, Ontario, passed away in the comfort of his home, surrounded by his family on October 3, 2022. Stephen is survived by his wife Elaine of 48 years, daughter Janine (Michael) Allen, son Scott (Cassie) Elmy, mother Ruth Elmy, brother David (Cathy Moore) Elmy, sister Esther (Lyle) Lloyd and grandchildren Kyle, Liam, Hunter, Chase & Hyde, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Stephen was born on December 13, 1950, to Harold and Ruth Elmy in Belleville, Ontario. He has lived in Belleville, Toronto, New South Wales, Australia, Stewart, Vancouver and Ajax. Stephen was a loving father, husband and grandfather. He was never happier than in the company of family, especially his grandsons. He also loved to travel and turned this into both a career and pastime. He worked in the travel industry for more than 40 years until he was forced to give up the career he loved for health reasons. During his life, he travelled to more than 50 countries, but his favourite places were his first home, in Belleville, and his last home. He also loved a great meal with family or friends, and the memories and laughter that these events created.

A special thank you to the people in the Ajax Pickering Palliative Home team for their care and support during his final days. Also, the family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude for all the messages and visits from family and friends.

Celebration of Life to be held October 29 (TBC). Please contact the family for more details. Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society .
