December 19, 1943 – January 7, 2021

January 7th Steve Sanesh left us at the age of 77 to be with Jesus after a brief and humble battle with cancer. He will be deeply missed by his children: Rebecca, Cathy (Mike), Desmond (Elizabeth), Natalie (Barry), and Gregory. He leaves behind eleven grandchildren (Trisha will ever be dear to him) and two great grandchildren as well as his siblings: Rose, Katie, and Bill (Karen).

Dad came from the school of hard knocks and was known for not holding back his opinion if he didn’t agree with you. He was not afraid of hard work and was always up for a good time. He could play the accordion and was pretty good at it too. In his early years he logged with horses in Trinity Valley. Eventually he sold that accordion and bought a train car full of insulation and started insulating houses at night. He owned several small businesses most notably Western Roofing Ltd (1973). He liked his four letter words and fine leather shoes. When invited out for dinner he would always order the most expensive thing on the menu. His regrets were few, but did include riding the wooden roller coaster in Vancouver in 1967. Where Dad came from, how much he had and where he found himself years later, he was always proud of his faith. Steve’s word of advice, “Always advance your education.” He was predeceased by his sister, Elizabeth.
