Condolences & Memories (17 entries)

• April 7, 2025. I think of Steve’s family, kids, grandkids . . . how they miss Steve, and I am sad and sorry. I hope you are close and get strength from each other. Bonice (Victoria, BC) - Posted by: Bonice Raap (Friend from long ago) on: Apr 07, 2025

• I recently sent a tribute to Steve and realized I wrote we were together learning french in Chicoutimi. The French Immersion program was actually in Trois Rivieres. Sorry for the mistake. Bonice Raap, Victoria, B.C. - Posted by: Bonice Anderson (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2024

• I was a friend of Steve’s in the 80’s; we were in Chicoutimi together, studying french with a group of great people. I remember walks and conversations with Steve, around Chicoutimi, him describing Winnipeg and it’s amazing Folk Festival, and how he thought he’d maybe go into theatre. I thought one day I would make it there and we would ‘catch up’ on the years, ‘do’ the Folk Fest, and watch him do Improv at the Gas Station Arts Centre. That I never made it is a regret. Steve was a beautiful person; I remember his gentleness, inquisitiveness, vulnerability, fun, and his talent for writing. What a loss. . . but a gift for us who knew him, even for a shorter time. My late condolences to his family. Bonice Raap, Victoria, BC - Posted by: Bonice Raap (Friend ) on: Nov 03, 2024

• I went to school with Lyn and played football and street hockey with Steve growing up. He was the big Rider fan and I was the tall receiver he liked throwing the high balls too. Always remembered his competitive ways. My condolences go out to the entire family. Dan Speer. - Posted by: DAN SPEER (friend) on: May 31, 2024

• I had the pleasure (and privilege) of knowing Stephen through the Winnipeg theatre community. He was a true gentleman, a talented actor and a considerate and loving friend. My heart broke when I read about his passing. This is a tremendous loss for all of us. Rest in peace, Stephen. You are loved. - Posted by: Sylvia Fisher (Friend / Theatre co-worker) on: May 30, 2024

• I met Steve at the Edmonton Fringe through his former partner and my good friend, Alison. He was superb at the Fringe as an iguana (who else could make that claim?), and over the years, his acting always floored me, especially in The High Life. Contrary to his believability in his tougher roles, to me, it was his kindness and generosity of spirit that stood out. His love for his children was clear. Graham, Erin, Alison and all of Steve’s friends and relatives, please accept my deepest condolences. - Posted by: Kate Zimmerman (Friend) on: May 30, 2024

• Our sincerest condolences on Steve's passing. He will be missed not only by his family but the Arts & Culture Community in Winnipeg and all his colleagues across Canada. - Posted by: Barry & Karen Barss (Cousin) on: May 22, 2024

• High School Story: Steve and me happened to meet at the gym door at Dakota C.I. to check out the school wide dance contest inside. "Hey, want to enter?" says he, "Sure why not?" says me. (We had never danced together.) We discoed down to a second place win and got coupons for a free vinyl record album at Barron Records (right name?) on St. Mary's Road. Steve, so sad to be told that you had passed over. To Family and Friends, my sincere condolences. - Posted by: Darlene Wall (Friend from Junior and Senior High School) on: May 21, 2024

• Steve was a classmate at Dakota Collegiate - saddened to hear of his passing at a young age. Remembered as a real character and free spirit. 😀 So nice to see how big an impact Steve made on the cultural scene in Winnipeg. Condolences to all his family and friends. - Posted by: Murray Sisler (Classmate) on: May 20, 2024

• I wasn’t close to Steve, but I will always remember my interactions with him with great fondness. He was a very talented person in so many respects, and he will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Allan Barss (Cousin) on: May 20, 2024

• I knew Stephen before he became an actor. He was just a teenage boy, a student at Victor Mager Junior High. I hung out with him, and we smoked cigarettes and talked about girls. At Dakota, we ran into each other now and then. Stephen had a marvellous smile. He was all heart. Goodbye, Stephen. - Posted by: Steve Noyes (Friend ) on: May 19, 2024

• I was so sad to learn of the passing of my cousin Steve. We come from a very large family on his Mother’s side of the family. Steve was always one of my favourites❤️. He had the biggest heart, he was so genuine, and so fun to be around. He gave the best hugs in the world. I remember always being so joyful when I knew Steve would be present at one of our gatherings. I’ll miss you cousin. RIP. Heartfelt condolences to my beautiful Auntie Joanie, Uncle James, and the whole McIntyre family. Love you bunches! Love Trenna, Bobby and Brooke. - Posted by: Trenna Allain (Cousin) on: May 18, 2024

• I met Steve through the Winnipeg Fringe and he was always as stand up guy, a gentleman through and through. He will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Barb Buffington (Friend) on: May 18, 2024

• I am not only in shock but saddened by Steve's passing. I began seeing Slade and McIntyre at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival in its earliest of days ( 30 plus years ago.) They were magic as a team, but even in shyness spoke with their eyes. I decided Improv was for me. I participated in a few of Steve's workshops over the past few decades, and when he came as a guest to my Improv class 7 years ago, conducted by another theatrical artist, RIP Jeff Skinner, the class was mesmerized by his talent. My sympathy goes out to Steve's family, including his theatrical family. If it weren't for people like Steve, Robert, and Jeff, my life would have been dull. To this day I carry on having learned from the best and I mean that not just as Masters but as human beings. I hope there is a class up in the heavens where he can show everyone his craft. - Posted by: Laurie A Gydé (former student/friend) on: May 18, 2024

• We are heart broken and shocked to read of Steve’s passing. From the beginning, we marveled at the skilled improv team of Slade & McIntyre. We will never forget witnessing Steve’s inspired metamorphosis into an Iguana in 1988. He had such a presence and always owned every role. One moment, he could look like a guy who you’d cross the street to avoid, and the next you would wrap your arms around him enjoying his big broad smile and great laugh. Steve, we will think of you often and miss you. Our sincere condolences to Steve’s nearest and dearest. - Posted by: Richard, Karen & Martin Howell (Friends) on: May 18, 2024

• A few years ago, Steve appeared at an impromptu reunion of high school friends. And although he had starred in several movies and tv shows by that time he was remarkably shy, and thankful to be included. I’ve enjoyed some meals and conversations with him since, and will greatly miss him. His loss is felt tremendously by many he barely knew, who’ve followed his career and lived vicariously through it, as I have. God Bless you, my friend. - Posted by: Bill Peters (Friend) on: May 18, 2024

• Steve was a wonderful, kind and caring man. He was a one of a kind and will be missed by everyone his huge heart encountered. May his memory be for a blessing always. - Posted by: Terri Cherniack & Steven Schipper (friends) on: May 18, 2024
