It is with deep sorrow that the family and friends of Gary Fredrick Stevenson announce his passing on Friday, June 27, 2025, at the Tofield Health Centre at the age of 80. Gary was surrounded by his most cherished loved ones as he peacefully transitioned to his next chapter.

Gary will be remembered as a devoted father, proud grandfather, caring brother, beloved uncle, and loyal friend. His warmth, generosity, and enduring love for his family and friends touched the lives of all who knew him.

He leaves behind his son, Cameron Stevenson, and his family—Melanie, Jillian, and Maxwell; his daughter, Carrie Anaka, and her family—Greg, Grady, and Kade; his sisters, Pat Syrnyk, and her family – Don, Colleen, Brad, Cathy, Brittany, Jeff, Harper, Dale, Franco, Siena and Mimi Stevenson, and her family – Alexis, Kyle, Tavin, Easton; and his lifelong friends, Joe and Rose Yurkowski and their family.

Gary was predeceased by his parents, Fred Clifford Stevenson and Mary Theresa Stevenson, nephew Donnie Syrnyk and brother-in-law Luby Todoruk.

In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. Gary’s ashes will be scattered in Inuvik, Northwest Territories—a place that held deep meaning and cherished memories for him.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Tofield Health Centre for the exceptional care and compassion they provided to Gary in his final days. Gary expressed sincere gratitude for their kindness and support.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Gary’s memory may be made to the Tofield and Area Health Foundation.
