Obituary

David Graham Steeves

 

Graham, 86 years of age, of Port Elgin, passed away on Saturday, November 22nd, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished friendships and memories.

 

Graham was born on September 8th, 1939 in Hamilton, Ontario, where he attended elementary school and Delta Secondary School.  He graduated from McMaster University, majoring in mathematics and later earning a Master’s degree in computer science.  

 

Graham was known for his warmth and the quiet encouragement he offered to others, notably the students he taught at Saugeen District Secondary School and those he mentored as vice-principal at Walkerton District Secondary School.  

 

Graham was a longstanding Rotarian and enjoyed athletics including curling, downhill skiing and golfing.  He was a member of the Port Elgin Curling Club and Saugeen Golf Club.  He also loved classical music and was a passionate supporter of his beloved wife Jeanette’s choirs over the years.  Graham was also very supportive of his children’s interests in life, including competitive swimming, public speaking and music ensembles.  He had an abiding affection for the Maritimes where he spent many happy childhood summers with family in Main River, New Brunswick.

 

Graham will be remembered forever by his wife, Jeanette, his children, Natasha (Steve), Kelly (Cathy), and Jennifer (Herb), his six much-loved grandchildren, Callum and Cole, Kieran and Rowan, Kate and Max, his twin sister, Jane Steeves (Ron), his sister, Margie Guild (Don – deceased), and brother-in-law, John McKinley (Carol – deceased).

 

A Celebration of Graham’s life will be held at Port Elgin Tolmie Presbyterian Church on Monday, December 1st at 2 p.m. with visitation beginning at 1 p.m.  In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to SickKids Foundation.
