STEPHEN McNEIL Obituary

McNEIL, STEPHEN CHARLES September 5, 1956 - May 10, 2020 Suddenly at his home in Markdale, Ontario, Stephen passed on May 10, 2020. Spouse of Christina Nash. Son of Marlene (predeceased) and Vincent McNeil and loving older brother to Joe (Laura), Cameron and Leigh. Uncle to Nikki (Eric), Marlee, Dylan and Warren and Great-Uncle to Hunter and Autumn (Nikki). Friend and Cousin to many. Stephen was a Steamfitter and member of UA Local 46 for 44 years. He retired 3 years before his death. He had many passions but the primary one was travel. He and Chrissie took many trips together in their over 30-year relationship. He was an avid photographer and took many great photos on his journeys. He was extremely knowledgeable and self-taught about all things computer related. If you had a problem, Steve was your man. He also enjoyed playing hockey and baseball in his youth. In his later years, he became a birdwatcher. He and Chrissie have had many budgies and canaries.

Our condolences Chrissy and the McNeil family regarding the passing of Steve. He was a lover of many sports, different kinds of music, travel and his photography. We played hockey at Ted Reeve, Stephen Leacock and Kew Beach arenas since 1970. We would attend hockey,football and baseball games, also concerts like Dire Straits and Bob Seger. Once we saw The Moody Blues after 18 holes of golf. One hot sunny day, last September, he introduced me to the exciting Toronto Wolfpack Rugby game at Lamport Statium: that would be the last time I would see Steve. Although it wasn't the last time we spoke. Recently we discussed his travels to Cuba. Steve and Chrissy were avid travellers, posting their incredible photos on line. We were best friends sharing many interests over fifty years. You will be missed. REST IN PEACE!

Steve was a kind and loving brother. He even taught me to read when I was little. He was 11 years older than me. When we were adults we became closer. He and I shared a love of music and went to many concerts together. One of the last times I saw him was at a Led Zeppelin cover band concert. My one regret is that I never got to travel with him. RIP Big brother xoxo
