Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Stephen. I had the privilege of meeting him through our work between AutoTrader and the Myers Automotive Group, and he left a lasting impression on me. He had a remarkable way of making people feel welcome, always with a warm smile, even during challenging times.
His kindness and sense of humour will not be forgotten. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve over several years, and he was always a gentleman in every sense—kind, thoughtful, and someone you genuinely looked forward to meeting with. 

It’s clear he made a lasting impression on so many of us who had the privilege of working with him.

My heartfelt condolences to the Holmes family, Steve’s friends, and the Myers team.

I had the pleasure of knowing Steve and am forever thankful for the gift of his friendship.  He was one of a kind in the best possible way.  I treasure all of his Steveisms and will remember every moment of our time with gratitude.  🙏🏻   Heartfelt condolences to Joanne and Jessica.  You were his everything.

So very sorry to hear of Steve’s untimely passing.  I got to know him a little bit through my time at Hyundai.  Steve was very patient with me as he shepherded me through my first ever round of golf…and always took time to speak with me at every meeting afterwards.  A true professional and someone everyone learned from.  He will be sorely missed as one of the great guys in our industry.

Rest in peace Steve.

So sorry to hear this Joanne and Jessica.  So many great memories of Steve.  He made everyone feel like they belonged and was always smiling.  Take care during this difficul time.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Holmes Family. Or  should I say Clan. He always asked how the Brennan Clan was when we met.  Then we’d get into stories and tales of life “up the line” . Steve was a great colleague and friend. He was proud , humble and saw the kind side in everyone. He will be missed.

Our sincere condolences. While Stephen was a distant cousin, he always made us feel close.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of such a wonderful man. From our school days together to the many moments shared later at Mamma Teresa , he was always someone who brought warmth, kindness, and a genuine smile wherever he went.

He was more than just a familiar face. His presence will be truly missed.

Our hearts go out to his loved ones during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the many memories he leaves behind and the lives he touched along the way.

Our deepest sympathies to Joanne and Jessica and the Holmes family.  Steve was one of those people you will never forget and love.  His witty humour and laugh was one of his best known traits.  So many stories to remember of Steve and times at the farm.  Sleigh rides, house parties in the earlier years and then through the years, getting together and catching up.  Being part of his wedding to Joanne and seeing his daughter grow into a young woman.  He will be forever in our thoughts.  Rest in Peace House  Cat!

Joanne and Jessica, we are so very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. 

Virginia, Garry, Michaela, & Brayden Lowe

He will be truly missed no doubt. May he rest in the peace of our Lord and Savior!

Deepest sympathy to Joanne, Jessica and Steve’s extended family,

Steve was the salt of the earth, someone who enjoyed chatting and catching up on happenings about his beloved Gatineau Hills.  We had many chats (and laughs) and he treated customers with such care and kindness. Another good one gone way too soon! May his family find comfort in their many memories.

Thinking of Joanne, Jessica and the Holmes family and sending heartfelt condolences.

I am so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. 
I first met Steve when he was a parts consultant and I was in Sales at Turpin Pontiac Buick. We again connected at Myers.
He was one of the good guys and always had time to chat and talk and laugh about the old times.
My deepest condolences to the  immediate family and his Automotive family.
RIP my friend, you will be missed!
