Michael Joseph Steeves

Mike was born in St. John's Newfoundland on May 28th, 1939 the son of the late Stanley C. and Margaret (Ryan) Steeves.

 

Mike was a truck driver and spent most of his career with Newcomb Lumber and last worked at T.P. Downey & Sons before his retirement.  He had a passion for the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman.  He loved to keep busy and had a small lumber mill in his backyard.  He liked old cars and enjoyed travelling around in his 1936 Chev.  He had a special place in his heart for animals, especially his little dogs, Teddy, Skip and Rudy. He spoiled every dog he had with love and affection.  He had a great sense of humour and loved to laugh and tell stories.  He enjoyed teasing and tormenting, all in fun.   He loved his family and has always been there for them.  Whenever anyone needed anything he did what he could to make sure they were looked after and happy, often putting his own needs second.  He loved his home in Lower Cape and knew everyone in Albert County as he has lived here his whole life and made many lifelong connections over the years.  He will be remembered for his contagious smile and twinkle in his eye.
