We Remember

JOHNSON, Stewart

—

Stewart passed away, surrounded by family and friends, on Monday, November 26, 2018 at the age of 62.  He is survived by his daughters Erin Martin, Sarah Johnson and Michelle Johnson; sisters Charlene (Larry) Scott, Heather (Roger) Gabel and Janet (Dana) Kaplanchuk; lifelong best friend and “brother” Peter Ibsen; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents Carl and Ivy Johnson.

Born and raised in Kamloops, Stewart accomplished many things in both his personal and his business life and had many friends and colleagues. He had a passion for Body Building, and in the 1980s achieved 1st place at the BC Body Building championships, owning the title “Mr. BC” along with many other awards.

Stewart had a love for hockey, ice skating, skiing and scuba diving, as well as photography: he loved taking pictures at our many family functions. To provide for his family, he worked on the CN Railroad in Kamloops in the 80s, as well as selling Real Estate and driving taxi cabs, eventually owning a taxi business in Kelowna.

He was a mechanic and loved rebuilding classic cars – even a speed boat, which he enjoyed taking on the water. He will be remembered for his love of life and his love for friends and family, his big laugh and gentle nature.

He will be greatly missed by all and always remain in our hearts. Rest in Peace, Stewart. We Love You.

There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Stewart’s name may be made to Brain Trust Canada, www.braintrustcanada.com or the Heart and Stroke Foundation www.heartandstroke.ca.

Testimonials

Thank you to your team for your kindness to me at a very challenging time.  You have now taken care of both of my parents with professionalism and care.

Nancy Farran

Springfield Funeral Home is always professional, caring and very knowledgeable.  We appreciate that you have dedicated staff for all needs from planning the service to completing government paperwork.

Timothy Morio Tahara

I am not sure there was anything you could have done to make a very intense emotional time less stressful.  Although we hadn’t expected Ken to want a service, when he said we needed to have one for us not him, it was true.  Your sincerity and compassion meant everything to us.  Thank you.

Gwen Harvie

David Henseleit, your compassion and professionalism is truly amazing!  The entire staff were courteous, super professional and caring as each guest arrived.  Everything was done to perfection!

Myra Neuman

Keep up the good work that you do as it is such an important service you provide.  It is still the most difficult time in a person’s life.  Your kindness is so appreciated.  We appreciated the peace of mind that everything was being looked after.

Gloria Couture

Kim McCaveney

Thank you David and staff for your help in letting us say goodbye to our wonderful Mom, Granny, Great-Granny and Friend.  It was a beautiful service and your attention to the details, care and concern eased our hearts so much.

From the family of Joan Churchill

We had many friends and relatives that were not able to come to the service so we found the live-stream capabilities was HUGE.  David Henseleit and the staff were professional, courteous and friendly, helping us with things we did not think of and always gave constructive advice and alternatives.  Springfield went beyond due diligence.

Harold Huber

The service of the staff at this funeral home is beyond exceptional.  They certainly go an extra mile to help out.  It was comforting to have David Henseleit assist us with all the arrangements.  It was much easier dealing with the loss of a loved one when there is so much care and support provided.

Michael Pawluk

Both my parents funerals were handled by Springfield Funeral Home.  Our family is thankful for how they handle people going through the loss of a loved one.
