STEPHEN GILBERT

Steve was always a great friend growing up. We shared many a good time that will always be in my most precious memories. He taught me courage, and the will to never give up.

Our family shall miss your wisdom, kindness, and endearing smile, as well as your wonderful cooking!
You will remain forever in our hearts.

Julie, Tom and Johnny

To the families,

May the wonderful memories you have sustain you all through these most difficult times.
He was a class act.

Very nice and gentle person. A great help to the Owlshead Ski Patrol. He will be missed.

I will forever be blessed with the grand image of your enquiring glance, your eyes sparkling with insight and awareness as you would listen to me trying to make sense of life. Then your smile, up to then respectfully suppressed, would escape and play across your face and you would lean in and say “No, No .. Garth don't you get it...” While many people struggle to find the dots and to figure out how they connect you would take a glance and be musing over all the patterns the lines make. You will always be in my heart.

Thanks for everything Steve. Your kindness and helpfulness was infectious. It was an honour to have known you. We will certainly miss you.

Dear Steve, it was our great honor and privilege to have known you for so many years at Owl's Head. Our family remembers you with fond memories of the skill and patience you always showed us. So glad to have shared that sunny day on the boat with you, then meeting Colleen in Magog for lunch. Always in our thoughts and prayers, the Gerrard Family.
P.S. have a beer with CJ, maybe you can get Robbie to pour it for you

Where to start...Steve was such a gentle man and a gentleman. He was a great friend at Richelieu Valley Regional High School. Had some great conversations on the bench in the caf and latter teenage years in Chambly. He had the best hair..lol sorry but that is something I really remember from way back when. Anyone who knew him will know what I mean. I lost touch with him but he touched my heart and that is something I will always hold dear...that will never be lost. Thanks for being part of my life Steve. Condolences to all his family and friends.

You could always count on Steve to rescue your kids brand new skis from the front of the chalet on a Monday morning. Was well worth several cases of beer. So sorry...

You were a very special person, Steve, and have impacted so many lives. To meet you is never to forget you.

I worked with Stephen for 5 years in that ski shop at Owl`s Head and never once did he have anything negative to say. Smart would have been an understatement, Knowledge of all subjects absolutely. Kind and thoughtful, Steve would stay late if you needed your skis sharpened for a trip to another mountain the next day. or if your car wouldn't start guess who had booster cables. Gift of gabb he had it, but not boring stuff content that was current or interesting. Love you buddy I really can say I learned loads having spent all that time with you. So happy to have seen you this past winter.

Always the best smile and laugh, made me laugh every day as I sat beside him on the bus to school, he was such a great friend to all that knew him, bless you Steve for giving us all such great memories

Steve was kind gentle man taken to soon my deepest condolences to his family and friend's he will be deeply missed R.I.P Steve

A true gentleman and a class act. R.I.P. Steve, you will be missed.

Sweet sweet man. Thank you for your kindness, Steve. It doesn't go unnoticed in this world, and will definitely be missed.

Stephen, my best friend. We grew up together! Thanks for the challenges and showing me how. I never met anyone so strong. I think if we all got together and shared our stories we still would not know the depth of who you were and what you have done for people you met. Love Gordie

My condolences to family and friends. I'll always remember Steve as calm and reflective. A voice of reason in our younger days and someone I had tremendous respect for. We are all better for knowing him.

Truly a sad day. Though it has been many years since we last met, I will remember that day forever. Labour Day weekend at the Brome Fair, we shared a pint and talked of old times. A great friend and trusted pal, I will remember you for the rest of my days. We shared good times and tough times and through it all we remained friends. Thanks for the memories Steve, God bless.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Will always have memories of you and your family down the " lower road" across from my grandparents.......Nancy Ward

They say only the good die young. You will be missed Steve. Memories are flooding in. RIP my friend... RIP
