Stephen MAYHEW Obituary

Passed away peacefully in his sleep Sunday, October 9, 2022, after living his life to the fullest, for 55 great years. Steve was born December 11, 1966, in Kingston, Ontario by a beautiful and loved mother (Wanda Mayhew) and late fathe (Kenneth Mayhew), not long after the family would add the second and final son (Scott Mayhew) to create a beautiful family of his own (Candace, Kendall and Kayleigh). Steve then went onto getting his culinary degree at St Lawrence College with a Red Seal Endorsement and work his way up the ladder of the Culinary Industry.
All would change once meeting the beautiful woman he would cherish as his wife for 14 years (Tammy Mayhew), having two amazing and loving boys that truly meant the world to him (Jacob and Jarod Mayhew). He would find himself living his beloved years in Peterborough, Ontario commuting to Warkworth Penitentiary to support his family. Building a long-esteemed career throughout the prison starting off in Food Services, his beloved passion and continuing that path for 30+ respected years in many departments throughout the prison.
Steve was always an adventurous and outgoing man, training and coaching his two boys growing up in hockey, taking his "boys" weekend trips' down south to grow his soon to be obsession with pickleball. For nothing loved is ever lost and oh you were ever so loved dad.
Goals of ice-cold rum and coke on a beach in Florida taken from him just a few years too soon.
Family and friends will be received at the Ashburnham Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 840 Armour Road, Peterborough on Saturday the October 15, 2022 from 2-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. The Celebration of Life will be held on a later date and updated by the family.

My condolences to Steve´s family he was way to young for this to happen. Here is a pic of Steve and our friend Nancy Dupras in his early days at the Harbour Restaurant snack bar in Kingston. Steve got his start at the harbour restaurant starting off as a dishwasher and never looking back.

My sincerest condolences to Steve's family and friends. I first met Steve when he joined a friend of mine as a third in a round of golf. I came away from that thinking what a great guy, I'd love the chance to play with him again, years later he was a regular part of our foursome. Steve always had a smile or a joke and was so inclusive wanting everyone to have a good time. Thanks for some great stories and memories, you friends will miss you but are richer from having known you.
