STEPHEN BURNS Obituary

Published by Saskatoon StarPhoenix from Mar. 20 to Mar. 21, 2012.
Dr. Stephen Burns 1955 2012 It is with profound sorrow that the family and dear friends of Steve Burns announce his passing on March 17, 2012. He is survived by the love of his life Terri, his wife of 21 years; as well as his parents Bill and Sheila; his sister Kally; his brother Bill; and his best friend Lexi. He was predeceased by his brother Rick, and his sister Luanne. Stephen was born April 23, 1955 in Peterborough, ON. After graduating from chiropractic college in Toronto in 1987, he moved to Saskatoon and completed a clinical residency program at Royal University Hospital. He spent many years in private practice, with the past several years focused on lending his expertise in assessing and consulting on musculoskeletal injury claims. As a young man in Ontario, Steve had some success in bodybuilding competitions which fostered a love of the sport. He went on to win the Canadian Grandmasters Bodybuilding Division in 2005, and again in 2009. This win, in fact, garnered him a guest appearance on the David Letterman show. At the age of 55, he took great pride in winning the 2010 Overall Provincial Championship, and the following year placed second in all of North America. Recently he'd become a mentor and trainer for younger competitors in the sport. Steve was an avid outdoorsman: much of his recreational time was spent camping, boating, and fishing. He especially enjoyed spending time at Clarke Lake where he fished and hunted for years, eventually helping guide for the Lodge. To the folks up there he was one of the family, and the best person to have around the bonfire at night. An accomplished guitarist, an enthusiastic storyteller, and one of the funniest people most of us have ever met, Steve was a bright light in any crowd. His love for music was contagious, and his wit was legendary. Wellread and well-traveled, he had a gift for conversation with absolutely anybody, and was genuinely interested in others' lives. Steve will be forever held in the hearts of many. Donations can be made to the charity of your choice in memory of Steve Burns. A celebration of his life will take place Friday, March 23, 5 p.m. at Albert Community Centre (610 Clarence Ave. S.) Wine and cheese to follow.

I first started seeing Dr Burns at Plesant Hill Chiorpractic. I moved to Banff to work, and whenever home for a visit, made an appt. He always listened to what I had to say, and was genuinely interested. (often remembering things I had forgotten I had told him even!) My Brothers, Sisters and Parents were also his patients. He will always be remembered in our family with deep admiration, gratitude, kindness and humor. He touched us all and I feel honored to have had my life cross his.

Terri...I am so overwhelmed by your loss.I wish you comfort, I wish you peace,he will be a part of you forever.

An old freind, who I've often wondered about. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I worked with Steve in London at "Frye's". Many a laughter filled shift playing hangman. He was awesome with words and inspired me back 35 years ago to eat well, and take care of myself. Godspeed to a wonderful soul. With great respect, Gail (Deadman) Kennedy

I am very saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Terri and Steve at their private practice. Steve was truly one of the funniest and talented people I've ever known. We both shared a love of music, and when our breaks aligned, we'd play our guitars together in Steve's office. He always had some new great rif to teach me!
What a very sad loss for his family and friends.
My sincere condolences to you Terri.

Steve was a one-of-a-kind, to say the least. A really great man. I admired how he could be so humorous and professional at the same time. He and his yellow suit will always give me a chuckle!

Terri, I wish I could take the pain from your heart. I am so sorry you have to feel this sadness. My warmest thoughts are with you.

Dr. Burns was my chiropractor during my university years when my shoulders would ache from carrying my text books and riding the bus everyday. He was so much fun to 'visit' at the Pleasand Hill clinic. A few years later, I drove my mom to her appointment but waited in the car with my first newborn baby. At the end of her appointment, Dr. Burns walked my mom out to the parking lot to come and meet my little girl. What busy doctor does that?? It took only a few moments to make a new mom even more proud than I already was, and it is the kind of action that speaks volumes of man's character. May God's peace, which surpasses our human understanding, surround your family each day.

I was very saddened to hear of Steve's passing. He was one of my classmates in the Class of 1987 and he was one of the funniest and most involved people in the class. We are going to be having our 25th year class reunion in June, and although it will be nice to see everyone again, I know that Steve's presence will definitely be missed along with others who we have lost during the years. Rest in peace, Steve.

I had the pleasure of living with Steve my firstYear at chiropractic college and considered him a friend throughout. Steve was a lot of fun which helped us manage the stress of those early days. Being older he was almost the father figure of the house. Steve was just a big fun likable guy and I was very sad to hear of his passing.

Steve was truly a one of a kind. As a junior intern of his in CMCC and a fellow lifter; Steve had so much to offer and he gave so much. I still think of some of his one-liners that were priceless. I am grateful to have called him my friend. To his wife, family and close friends I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

Dr.Terri, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of working with Dr. Burns and Dr. Sheppard at Pleasant Hill. I especially loved the days he brought his guitar, the amp was a little over the top tho (haha). I also had the pleasure of getting to know another side of him when he came for massage when he was training for competition.He was funny, kind, motivated, and genuine.I still to this day think of him every time I hear Cat Stevens. My thoughts are with you Terri, Dr. Sheppard and family.

Such a sudden loss is so very difficult and can never be understood. I would venture to say that it is not for us to understand - only to realize that our soul's path is often a mystery. In this very difficult time , I hope that you ( Steve's family) might feel the blessing and grace of peace around you to help you through the days ahead. We all ( class of '87) loved Steve and have fond memories of how he shared his light and laughter with us. Terri, although we haven't met , I wish you strength and courage and know that you are in our thoughts.

March 25, 2012

As a classmate Steve had the ability to lighten the mood, to make things easier. His humour, and his positive attitude are things we will never forget about him. Thanks for making us laugh. You will be missed.

Terri, I am shocked and saddened to hear of Steve's passing. Through the years of our working together, there is one word that keeps coming to mind "LAUGHTER". It was only about a month ago that we were giving each other a hard time about having to get used to our bifocals and trifocals. My deepest sympathy to you. There are no words that offer much comfort right now, but please know that my thoughts and prayers and those of many others are with you at this very difficult time. Steve will be greatly missed.
