Steven Russell

STEVE RUSSELL After a long and arduous battle with cancer, his caring fiancée Amy Rohr with him to the end, Steve passed away July 10, 2009 at the age of 38. Loved by Amy, his father Bob, brothers Warren, Darryl and their families in New Zealand, and Dave, Donna and Andy Rohr. Steve was loved by many, respected by everyone, an accomplished squash player and project manager. He fought his illness the same way he lived, an intelligent, generous, quiet, modest, dignified, never-blaming, a great man who never spoke of his many accomplishments and never complained about his debilitating illness. He will be immensely missed by family, friends and his workmates at Konverge Digital. Visitation will be held at the Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street, Oakville (905-844-3221) on Thursday from 7--9 p.m. A celebration of Steve's life will take place on Friday, July 17, 2009 at 7 p.m. in the Ward Chapel. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations in Steve's memory may be made to the Melanoma Research Foundation. Messages of sympathy may be sent to www.wardfuneralhome.com.
