Steven MACFARLANE Obituary
1961-2013
Steven passed away suddenly on Sunday, June 23, 2013 at the age of 51. He will be lovingly remembered and missed by his parents Jim and Agnes, his two brothers Andrew (Adele) and Peter, nieces Erin and Megan, nephew Cameron, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins in the U.K. and his many friends. He enjoyed all sports both as a participant and a fan and also enjoyed traveling to many countries over the years. He was a teacher at Kitsilano Secondary School for the last 20 years and found teaching his young students very rewarding. Steven and his dog Jock were well known in the Arbutus Walk area of Kits and will be missed by many people. A Memorial Service will be held at Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Rd., Richmond on Friday, July 5th at 2:00 p.m.

Mr. Macfarlane, I miss you very much and I will never forget you. It's so strange not seeing you and Jock around my neighbourhood any more and I'll never forget our conversations about the stock market and all the great topics of your interest when we met for coffee. Where ever you are now, I'm sure you're getting the best you deserve. Rest In Peace!

I remember our Friday evenings with steven and his dog, Jock at Raoul's place where, after week of hard teaching we would relax and laugh over a beer or glass of wine.
I always admired Steve's dedication to teaching, his ironic sense of humour and quiet and respectful loyalty to all his friends. t

For twenty years you stopped into the office on your way to the classroom and said "Good Morning!". This I will miss along with the visits from Jock.
Rest in Peace Steve.

An especially great loss at such a young age. He was a good teacher and a kind man. As a former student of his, I will remember his strong contribution to my education. I'm confident that others will as well. Therefore, although he is gone, he remains alive in our collective memory.

I am so shocked to learn of Steve's sudden passing after just seeing him a few short weeks ago at Joy MacPhail's house. Deep condolences from my wife Shirley Ross, daughter Erin Coward and I to Steve's family and friends. Steve was one of Erin's teachers and also a strong NDP activist in Vancouver-Point Grey. Steve's irreverence and dedication to making the world a better place will be sorely missed.

Steve my great friend we will all miss you so. I wish we had had more time together, but will never forget all the good times, especially those high school/college nights in the 70's and 80's when we were footloose and fancy free.
My thoughts go out to the Macfarlanes, Agnes, Jim, Andy and Peter, my condolences.

You will be missed in the 'hood, Steve. Your unique perspective on life and sense of humour are what I will remember most and I will miss our chats. Arbutus Walk is just a bit quieter now as Jock's excited bark always announced your presence---it just isn't the same without you guys here.
