In memory of

Steve Martin Reid

October 17, 1957 -  July 25, 2023

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Steve Reid on July 25th, 2023, at the age of 65. He fought bravely until the very end but lost the battle to cancer. He was the loving husband of Carole, father of Christopher, and grandpa to Zayden. He was predeceased by his mother Mrytle Reid. He is survived by his brother Rodney, sisters, Judy, Nancy and Cathy, the Forde family, mother and father-in-law, Hyacinth and Keith Dormond and their daughters and son, Juleen, Maureen, and Keith Jr. Everyday of his life, Steve lived by the motto, “what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong.” He loved travelling to warm Caribbean islands with his wife and in-laws, taking long brisk walks and watching football. He was a remarkable man and gift that God provided in all our lives. He was taken too soon and will finally be able to rest. He was employed at Grafton Apparel as the Warehouse Distribution Manager for 43 years. He infused energy, humour, intelligence, and care into his work. He will be dearly missed by all his co-workers and friends. There will be no service. Steve’s request was to be cremated so in Lieu of flowers the family asks that you donate to the Canadian Cancer Society https://cancer.ca/en/ or Trillium Health Partners Foundation https://trilliumgiving.ca)

I am deeply shocked with the news after I heard from our Human Resources Manager. I worked with Steve for a number of years after I joined Grafton in 2013. He was simply a great man and always raised his helping hand when required.

I wish him to Rest in Peace in the next world.

My condolences to Steve’s Family and Friends.
I have known Steve since the early 1980’s.
As a fellow employee at GFI and later as a vendor partner.
As many will say, Steve was a fantastic guy with a strong work ethic.
Always smiling, always enthusiastic always accomplishing.
He will be greatly missed by everyone he encountered.
God Bless you Steve.
