Sherbrooke, 14 septembre 2022

Stephen Andrew McLean went home to heaven on Wednesday, September 14 and is now dancing with the angels.

In 1992 he furthered his education while working at Coopers and Lybrand accounting fi rm in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He earned his Chartered Accountant designation in 1994. Stephen met Trudy Clark (every woman in the world to him) in 1988 in Fredericton and they were married in Woodstock, NB on July 20, 1991 and celebrated their 31st Wedding Anniversary this summer.
Stephen and Trudy lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia until they moved to Sherbrooke, Quebec in 1995 where they raised their family. Stephen was a faithful steward of the resources and gifts God had given him. He worked faithfully in business with his brothers and father ultimately for the glory and spread of the Kingdom  of God.

Stephen loved Jesus, his family and friends, coffee and maple trees, preferably all at the same time while enjoying a walk. His thoughtful genuine interest in others was displayed in the way he loved in action. He was an active member of Hope Community Church and took delight in helping those around him. Stephen’s competitive and fun-loving nature brought joy to all who knew him. A celebration of Stephen’s life will be held at Hope Community Church at 1 p.m. on Monday, September 19.

As a memorial tribute, donations to the Frontier Lodge Christian Youth Camp at frontierlodge.org/support/ would be appreciated.
