Steven John "Steve" King

1968 - 2023

Steve never enjoyed saying "goodbye" but as an alternative he has said, "See You Later", knowing that his passing will now allow for his Spiritual Journey to begin by making connections with those previously deceased, those that are open to spiritual connections and those family and friends that are still to pass.

On the day of his passing, his family and friends have now begun their exploration in Celebrating his Life. He is survived by his loving wife, Sandi, his loving parents, Bob and Pat, his sister Cathy (Andrew), brother Doug (Lila), niece Cheryl and nephew Trevor, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

Steve was born in Vancouver, moved to Kamloops at age eleven where he graduated from Kamloops Senior High and then Cariboo College. He was an energetic member of the 3rd Kamloops Scout Group where he received his Chief Scout Award. After graduating from Cariboo College, Steve moved to Calgary where he developed his career as a Graphic Designer with several companies as well as starting 16 years of vigorous volunteering with the St. John Ambulance Volunteer Brigade. He received several Provincial commendations, won a National Competition award and most importantly met Sandi, where they developed a wonderful relationship full of fun, adventures and memorable shenanigans.

Steve and Sandi were married in Calgary in 2007, relocated to Kamloops in 2012 with a Canada Post work transfer and then approximately 8 years later the opportunity arose for them to put their lives in storage and move to Vancouver Island and live in their travel trailer while exploring the local communities before  permanently settling on the Island. Steve and Sandi have resided in Comox for the past two and a half years and have enjoyed every aspect of this wonderful community.

With all the challenges thrown his way in the past few years, Steve has continued to focus on the positives of life with his strength and sense of humour continuing to shine through.

Steve and Sandi would like to acknowledge and thank all the doctors, nurses and tech supports that have provided such premium care through the Comox Hospital, Home Medical Care and the Palliative Care Services.

A Celebration of Life followed by a reception for Steve will be held on Saturday, August 19th, 2023 at 2:00 pm at the Piercy's-Mt. Washington Funeral Home located at 440 England Ave, Courtenay, BC V9N 2N1.
