Stephen James Patrick “Stevo” Redmond
September 10, 2026
Stephen James Patrick Redmond, affectionately known as “Stevo,” passed away peacefully in his sleep, with his beloved wife Shelly by his side, on September 10, 2026, following a courageous four-and-a-half-year battle with prostate cancer.
Steve leaves behind Shelly, his wife and partner of 42 years, and their daughters, Jackie Redmond (Emmett Blois) and Marcy Thomas (Reid Thomas). He was the enormously proud PopPop to his twin grandsons, Tanner and Taylor, who brought him immeasurable joy.
Steve was predeceased by his parents, Carl John Redmond and Ethel Margaret Snooks, and his brother Kenny. He is survived by his siblings Ronnie “Mickey,” Gerry, Robert “Chip,” and Carolyn, along with an extended family of relatives and friends who will miss him dearly.
Above all, Steve adored Shelly. Through 42 years of marriage, he was her biggest fan. He was fiercely proud of her, endlessly supportive and always encouraging her to chase her own dreams. Their partnership was built on love, laughter and a deep admiration for one another, and there was never any question that Shelly was the love of his life.
To describe Steve simply as a devoted husband, father and grandfather would somehow still fall short. To those who knew and loved him, he was simply “Stevo.” He had an extraordinary zest for life and a rare ability to find genuine joy in ordinary moments. A lifelong hockey lover and die-hard Toronto Maple Leafs and Blue Jays fan, Steve loved a good game, but he loved the people he watched it with even more.
People were, in many ways, Steve’s great passion. He was endlessly curious about them. Neighbours, old friends, new friends, the person sitting beside him at the local pub. Steve wanted to know you, talk to you, laugh with you, and probably tell you a story or two. When Steve was with you, he was truly with you. He made people feel welcome, interesting and important, and his warmth, humour and unmistakable presence drew people to him everywhere he went.
Steve made the most of the life in front of him. Whether it was a conversation in the garage, a hockey game, a drink at the pub or time with the people he loved, he had a way of making ordinary moments feel special.
His family will miss his stories, his laughter and his larger-than-life presence beyond words. Most of all, they will miss the husband, Dad, PopPop and friend who made life more fun simply by being in it.
Visitation will take place Thursday, September 17, from 12:00–3:00 p.m. at Westview Funeral Home, 709 Wonderland Road North, London. A Celebration of Life will also be held at Westview Funeral Home on Saturday, September 19, from 2:00–3:00 p.m. For those unable to attend the Celebration of Life on Saturday, a livestream has been made available.

Shelly, Jackie, Marcy and family, We are so saddened by the loss of Stevo. We are also very grateful for having him part of our lives until now. We loved his sense of humour, his positive attitude and his dedication and commitment to his beloved Leafs. Our girls loved hanging with him and there is no doubt he was their favorite uncle. He will always have a special place in our hearts. We are so sorry that Les and I can’t be there in person for the service, but will be watching the live stream and our girls will be there and will party like Stevo in his honour. Sending you our love and we will see you in Oct Love Jen and Les
Jackie - I'm so sorry to read of your Dad's death. I know you both meant the world to each other and he will be so missed by all of the family. Hold each other tight and in time I know you will share special memories of him as a family.
So very upsetting to hear of Steve's passing. He always had a smile for everyone and was truly a happy, go lucky guy. So many great memories from our neighborhood parties! Our deepest condolences. Sincerely, Janet, Ian and family.
Stevo, what can we say about a friendship that spanned 45 years or more? Although we lost touch over the years as life took us in different directions- you and Shelly raising a beautiful family, working and all of us simply being busy- retirement brought us back together. I'll always remember you saying "Nothing has changed over the years."And you were right.❤️Steve was so much fun, we agreed on almost everything-except hockey! I a Canadian fan, but today I bought a Leafs hat in honor of my great friend. 🏒💙Our deepest condolences to Shelly, Jackie, Marcy and the entire family. Steve will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Love you, brother. Until we meet again...#pints.
Shelly, Jackie, Marcy and family, we are so sorry to hear of this great loss to each of you and your families. May your many shared memories and stories of your time together help you navigate your sorrow. Our prayers are with all of you.
I am sorry for your lost condolences from the Salmon family
A larger-than- life neighbour, an avid sports fan and a true friend to my late husband, Mike. I can still hear from across our backyards “Stevie is that you? Yes it is Mikey. I will be right over!” And then they would have a beer and talk sports. Steve had a soft heart and always took time to chat from your garage about your family. He was so proud. Steve will be missed on the ‘Haven.’ My deepest condolences to you all. ❤️
Stevo left a beautiful mark on anyone who had the privilege to meet him. I will forever cherish the bond we had, he was more than just an uncle to me. He was very important to me and brought me immense amount of joy every visit I had with him. I will never forget all the memory’s, belly laughs, and fun times I shared with Stevo. I will miss him dearly and continue taking on life as he would want me too; having fun, partying hard… and having a few too many…#pints.

On behalf of my dad, Gerry, his brother, and our family — Vivian, SherriLynne, Todd and Tanya — we want to say how deeply loved and remembered he will always be. We will miss his smile, his silly jokes, his stories, and simply having him in our lives. We are so grateful for all the memories and for the love he gave our family over the years. Rest peacefully, Stevo. You were loved more than you know, and you will never be forgotten. With all our love, Gerry, Vivian, SherriLynne, Todd & Tanya ❤️
Our hearts are heavy with the loss of Stevo. He was a life force! Always so happy and enjoying life. We are so very lucky to have had him in our family and were able to create many great memories with him. We will miss him and our weekly calls with him very much. Forever in our hearts.

We had the pleasure of meeting Steve through my brother Dale and sister-in-law Judy. From the moment we met him, we felt like we had known him forever. His sense of humour and zest for fun were so familiar, just like our own family. The many funny stories my brother Dale shared about their video chats and visits always brought a smile. Steve was truly a gem who was adored by so many and will be deeply missed. To Shelly and the entire family, please accept our deepest condolences on your great loss. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. 🙏❤️
