It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved youngest brother, Steven Bruce Ward. He passed away at the age of 56 in Calgary at the Rockyview General Hospital on March 20th, 2022. The youngest of nine children, he was born at Moosomin Hospital in 1965 to Dennis and Clara Ward, and grew up in McAuley, Manitoba.
Steven received his education at both McAuley and Virden schools. He had many jobs in his short life, but the one he loved the most was as a Custodian at the McAuley school. Steven always said he hated the kids, but in fact he truly loved them, and he was a fantastic uncle to his many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by our parents, Dennis and Clara. He leaves to mourn his eight siblings: Arthur and Patricia of Calgary, Alberta; Marie and Don of Watrous, Saskatchewan; Richard and Diane of Virden, Manitoba; Peggy and Charlie of McAuley, Manitoba; Barry of Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia; Charles and Flo of Portage, Manitoba; Keith of Calgary, Alberta; and Susan and Bob of Killarney, Manitoba.

My prayers go to the Ward family and friends. So sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories.
Thinking of all of you my prayers to a great family, students and neighbours
Dear Little Brother Steven
Your death has left me in shock. 56 was much too young to pass away.
I know that you had some health challenges, but I never thought any of these would take you.
But now you are no longer suffering with any pain. I am glad that I was there to wish your spirit on to it’s next journey.
Now you are with Mom and Dad, and that brings me some peace of mind.
God bless you baby brother.
Arthur
Dear Steven,
Your passing was quite a shock. Never thought you go like you did or as young as you did.
You had some health issues and some challenges, but you are no longer suffering anymore. Your body is at rest and at peace.
God Bless you on the next step of your journey. Your spirit is now with your Mom and Dad’s spirits.
Rest in Peace.
Your sister-in-law Pat.
