Steven Leon Cymet

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle, Steve Cymet, age 75 years, on September 26, 2023 at home in North Vancouver with his loving wife at his side.

Steve was predeceased by his parents, Abram and Cypora Cymet. Steve is survived by his wife, Leslie, 2 sons, Emerson and Ian, granddaughter, Abbey, older brother Erwin (Anne), younger brother Jack (Anita), younger sister Sura (Stan), nieces and nephews and many good friends.

Steve was born in Berlin and immigrated to Canada with his family in 1949. He grew up in Montreal, working for many years for CP rail in both Montreal and Vancouver and then with CN rail in Vancouver before he started his own consulting business.

Steve will be remembered for his love of life, family and friends and his love of the outdoors. He loved all sports but his greatest love was skiing. One of his greatest joys was volunteering with the Whistler Adaptive Ski Program, and then with Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports, until his health prevented him from continuing. More recently, despite ill health, Steve could often be found at the gym on the exercise bike listening to music and doing his Sudoku puzzles.

Steve inspired all those who knew him with his extraordinarily positive attitude to life and his great sense of humour, as he faced more health challenges with equanimity and courage.

Thank you to the North Shore Palliative team and the North Shore Home Support program which allowed Steve to fulfill his wish to be cared for at home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports or to a Charity of Your Choice. A celebration of Steve's life will be announced at a future date.
