STEPHEN ANDREW METCALFE

It is with great sadness that the family of Stephen Andrew Metcalfe announces his death on July 4, 2025. Surrounded by loved ones after a fourteen-month battle with pancreatic cancer, he transitioned on his terms, in the sunshine and under a canopy of trees. He valiantly fought the disease with incredible stoicism and dignity, while shining a bright light on those around him. He was a loving son, devoted husband, much-loved brother and father, adored uncle and loyal nephew, friend and mentor to all. Stephen was a wonderful cook, an avid fisherman, a keen hunter, and a caring contributor to his community. He was a role model to his children, leading his son and the 69th Cub Scout troop in many outdoor pursuits. His passions included cricket, geocaching, curling, snowboarding, gardening, blink-182, country music, and home improvements. Perhaps most of all, Stephen loved the sport of rugby, which he played into his late 30s with both the Toronto Scottish and at Wilfrid Laurier University. Stephen is survived by his parents Gary and Carolyn, wife Coralie, children Jack and Annie, brother Peter (Susan), brother Paul (Alexia) and nieces and nephews Claire, Henry, Pierce, Evan, Zoë and Axel. He is fondly remembered by his godmother Aunt Sally and Uncle Alan and their family in Australia and his wife's aunts, uncle and cousins and their families in Toronto. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. There will be a visitation on Thursday, July 10th (4-7 p.m.) at the Humphrey Funeral Home A.W. Miles – Newbigging Chapel (1403 Bayview Ave.), followed by a Celebration of Life Friday, July 11th (2-4 p.m.) at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club (44 Price St.). In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation at thepmcf.ca or by calling 416-946-6560.
