Stephen lived a full life, touched many hearts, and accomplished so much as a professional and a family man, in his short 52 years of life.
Beloved husband of Linda McMahon. Devoted father of Kendall and Carson. Dear son of Marie and the late Leo, and loving brother of Louise, Peter (Sandy), Bernard (Susan Webb), Christine (Gerard Forget), and Anna (David Carter). Lovingly remembered by his in-laws Ray and Marion McMahon, and brother-in-law Gary McMahon, and by his many nieces and nephews, Jared, Mason, Taylor, Peter Jr, Heather, Madeleine, Holly and Melanie. Stephen was so very proud of his roots and all of his family, and spoke of them quite often.
As the proud President and CEO of BILD, Stephen earned respect and admiration for his leadership role in the building industry, and will be missed by the many people he touched, mentored, encouraged and advised.
Visitations were held at the Thompson Funeral Home in Aurora, on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 from 2-4 & 6-8pm and the attendance and flowers were completely overwhelming. Linda and family thank everyone for attending and their patience with the long lines and traffic. It is comforting to share such a great loss with so many others.
The Memorial Mass was held at Our Lady of Grace Church in Aurora, on Wednesday at 11am. It was a perfect send-off for a wonderful person; eulogies by brother Peter Dupuis and friend Gord Shields captured the essence of Stephen, and Father Joe delivered a lovely service.
Many refer to Stephen as a "class act" and the reception hosted at Timberlane Athletic Club was suited to just that. Stephen deserved the absolute best! Reception eulogy by BILD colleague Bob Finnigan spoke of Stephen as a Leader, Teacher, Friend.
The day of Stephen's funeral was a beautiful, sunny and warm day, and concluded early evening with a perfect double rainbow arcing over the Dupuis household. It was Stephen's rainbow, letting us know that he will always be with us.
Our dearest Stephen, thank you for all of the wonderful moments we were able to share with you. May you rest in peace. We will always remember you. We will always love you.
