We Remember

VERSEGHY, Steven Mark

February 16, 1968 — July 25, 2017

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Steve on July 25, 2017 at the age of 49. Survived by his loving family – wife Natalie Verseghy; daughters: Hayley and Lauren Verseghy of Kelowna, BC; parents Frank and June Verseghy of Brooklin, ON; brother Mike Verseghy and nephew William Verseghy of Whitby, ON; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins in Ontario and Australia. Steve was born in Toronto on February 16, 1968. He began swimming with the Ajax Aquatic Club and eventually made it to the Canadian National team where he swam with the likes of Victor Davis and Alex Baumann in the 1980’s. Swimming was Steve’s passion and his dream was to pass his knowledge of swimming on to the next generation of swimmers. Steve had a big heart and was always willing to drop everything to help someone in need or volunteer his services to various organizations. Steve came to BC in the mid 90’s to Victoria to pursue a career in swim coaching. He then moved on to a career in the banking industry which eventually brought him to Kelowna in 2000. From the moment he came to BC, he never wanted to leave. Steve loved camping on Vancouver Island and the Kootenays with his family. He will be forever missed by all who knew him.

A Celebration of Steve’s Life will be held on Friday August 4, 2017 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Interment to follow at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

    Please forward my condolences to his family and his parents. Steve’s father is my cousin and although I never knew him growing up, we connected on FB this year and I realized how much of a dynamic person he was. Zest for life, how proud he was of his daughter’s art and her art is fantastic. Love to all and he will be with me forever, even in that short time I got to know him. Bless you all and my prayers will be with you. Both my parents died of cancer so I will make a donation in Steve’s name to that charity.

    I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Steve’s passing. I only knew Steve for a few months but I will always remember him. He was so passionate about swimming! But beyond that, he had a genuinely kind heart and I just wish there were more people like him in the world. I sincerely hope he is now at peace.

    Steve was one of my first friends in Ajax when i moved onto his street in 1974. I have fond memories of us skate boarding and building forts with Steve. My deepest condolences to his wife and children and to his mom dad and brother.

    It was with great sadness I learned of Steven’s passing. Mark, Jo-Anne and myself wish to send our condolences to Frank and June, Michael and all his family at this very sad time. We all have very pleasant memories of his time at 95 Bolland Crescent, Ajax when he was our next door neighbour and learned his swimming skills in their back yard pool. Our hearts go out to you all – June Hillion.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
