Stephen KELLY Obituary

KELLY, Stephen Joseph April 18, 1960 – March 11, 2018 Stephen departed suddenly and unexpectedly from the world leaving his father Peter Thomas, his four siblings Danny (Maureen), Peter (Cathie), Patty and Mary Theresa and his four nieces Brenna, Deirdre, Taryn and Leah. He was close to his mother Esther who passed in 2016. Stephen was a beautiful artist, gifted songwriter and self-taught musician. He was known for his outrageous wit, kindness and the care he extended to his parents as they got older. He rode the LRT and subway thousands of times to cook dinner and visit them in Scarborough over the years. For over 20 years he played music every Friday night with Danny, making music and entertaining everyone with his character impressions and absurd insights about life. He worked as an art framer and lived with simplicity. Burial at Pine Hills Cemetery. Family and friends are gathering to share our loss and love for Steve at the Stan Wadlow Community Centre on Saturday, March 24, 2018 from 5 p.m. onward. Online condolences at www.etouch.ca

Steve was creative, ironic, musical, tender. And so much more. Words are shadows in the struggle to describe him. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of this wonder of a man: Steve Kelly

No words can express the impact of his loss. I hope someday you will find peace in the memory of his laughter and his love.

The last time I saw Steve, we sat talking over beers and somehow the topic of passing on came up. Steve said, with a wry grin on his face, that he hoped people wouldn't be sad when he was gone.

It was a typically kind and thoughtful statement, but somehow the sun doesn't shine as brightly and the world seems to be spinning slightly off its axis with my longest and most treasured friend's passing. Our grief will pass, but the loss will always be with us. Farewell my friend, I'll see you again a little further down the road.

Our thoughts are with Dan, Maureen, and the entire Kelly family.

Such a staggering loss for all of you. I'm holding Dan, Maureen, the girls and all of Steve's family in my thoughts and prayers. A beautiful obituary for a beautiful soul who will be greatly missed. Bev Wybrow

I took this photo of Steve exactly two years ago, simply can't believe our bro is gone
