Silver Creek Seniors Centre
Steven’s life was tragically taken on March 6, 2012 at the age of 54. Born in Salmon Arm on December 23, 1957, his life was both simple and complex. He was loved dearly and truly, for who he was, by his girlfriend and love Wendy, her two girls Kendra and Hannah, his little buddy Liam, folks Sam & Tammie, sisters Susan (Les), Diane (JP, deceased), brother Terry (Val), aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and true friends.
Steven has taken a part of everyone’s lives and will be remembered with love.
A celebration of Steven’s life will be held on Saturday, March 24, 1:00 p.m. at the Silver Creek Senior’s Hall.
My condolences go out to the Nakazawa family . Sorry for your loss. Eve this must be very sad for you also 🙁 Hugz and much love to all. Steven touch many hearts . Tracee.
Well E.L. I don’t know you but I can say the same. I just found this out moments ago and I’m tore up real bad here. An old friend once said that some of these hit you harder than others and this one is it for me. I hadn’t seen Steven probably since the eighties when he worked at his Dads salvage yard. I always wondered what happened to him. Was he still there? Everytime I passed by I thought I should check. Always was going to someday and now… I feel like I’ve been hit by a Mac truck.
Steven was the greatest friend to me I could possibly imagine in my difficult growing up years. He was a rebel and a rascal and he had my back 110% when I needed it most. He went to bat for me, taught me how to “be cool” and what was his was mine, don’t even need to ask pal. If you look up free spirit in the dictionary his picture must be there. I am truly grief stricken this day.
I didn’t know your family Steven but I am so so sorry. Be strong. Be cool. Be yourself…I’m sure he’d agree, at all costs, be yourself.
Til me meet again my good friend, I’ll never forget you and all you did for me. I am so sad.
A long time ago I was blessed to have Steven in my life. He had the greatest capacity for love, laughter and adventure. Thank you, Steve. Such a tragic loss and my deepest sympathy and condolences to Steve’s family and loved ones.
Sam, Tammie and family I am so very sorry for your loss. God give you strengh.
Helen
I am so very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Please let Susan know I am thinking of her, and all of you with sorrow. Marg
Stevie / Alex
Took a while to sink in but now I get it. I won’t see you again. Hard to swallow. I remember the last time we hung out with fondness. It was always like that. I admire the way you approached everything with zeal. Whatever we were up to whether on the mark or sometimes “slightly misguided” we always did it with passion and conviction. You can’t find that kind of running mate just anywhere. A lot of water under the bridge my friend and a lot of time and space apart will never erase the special place I keep for you in my heart. I know you know that.
Axel.
I’m sorry for your passing, Steve. Say hi to Rooster.
My condolences to all of the Nakazawa family.
I remember one of your favourite sayings, I used it for years myself. “some fun, huh Bambi?” And it was, it sure wasn’t boring, right or wrong, you wt ere a part of both of our lives that makes us shake our head and laugh. We were just talking about the day when Rose was driving The Taz. How on earth she got the keys, I’ll never know. She went flying past the Youth Center with flames shooting out of the breather because she didn’t know how to shift down properly…..just ripping up 5th Ave down from Shuswap up to the carwash…lol. That was a fast car. Rose and I will have as part of our story telling for ever. Much love to your family old and new.
Sorry for your loss everyone
