Steacy, Graham McMillan

We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Graham McMillan Steacy, on Monday, December 12th, 2016. Graham was preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Dick Steacy of Saskatoon, and his wife Debby. He is survived by his sons, Jim (Brittany) and Sean (Ashley) of Lethbridge, and his daughter Heather (Mandy) of Victoria. He is also survived by his sister, Miriam Buswell (John) of Borden, and his niece, Kerry Buswell Brown (Dave) of Regina.

While attending the University of Saskatchewan, Graham met the love of his life in Debby. They were married in 1974 and spent several years building memories of their own and continuing their educations before having their family and moving to Lethbridge, where Graham worked for Agriculture Canada for 26 years.

Graham happily encouraged his three children through all kinds of activities, from music lessons to cub scouting, and especially their careers in track and field. He was very involved as a field official and travelled to many different competitions both indoors and out in that capacity, as well as a spectator/supporter. He also spent countless nights volunteering with his wife Debby for Operation Red Nose in support of the U of L Pronghorns.

He was always there for his kids, travelling with them, volunteering with them, and offering support to each of them whatever their endeavours. His children, his cats, and everyone who knew him will miss him dearly.

At Graham's request there will be no funeral service.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Graham's memory to the Lethbridge Humane Society would be appreciated.

Dear Jim, Sean and Heather, Words cannot express fully how tremendously saddened I was by Graham's recent and sudden passing. I have known your dad since grade two in elementary school and we have remained friends since that time. Have many great memories from high school, university and beyond and they will stay with me forever. "Grumper" was a good man. Al Patey Cowichan Bay, BC

Graham was a lab tech when I started my Animal Science studies in Saskatoon and he was our Livestock Farm Manager at Ag Canada in Lethbridge when I was Director. He was a great friend to all and always very cheerful and helpful. He is greatly missed.

I am very sorry to hear of Graham's passing. He was an important person in my life. I supervised his MSc, and he was the unofficial mentor of many other students. He never looked for the limelight, but was quietly supportive to all.

The world is going to be a poorer place with his loss. Real sorry to hear it....
