Martin Stevens , 1945 - 2001

Martin Stevens passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 4, 2001, at the High River hospital, after courageously enduring a battle with cancer at the age of 56 years.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Jean; two sons and daughters-in-law, John and Marla, Doug, Becky and Martin's soon to be born grandchild; his parents, Clarence and Phyllis; brothers, Melvin (Suzanne), Marvin (Susan), Lloyd (Marilyn); sisters Pat (Don), Penny, Susan (Rick); sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Dennis; Nancy Sweetland; and his numerous nieces and nephews to whom he was called "Uncle Marty". He will be fondly remembered by many friends and relatives.
After attending the University of Alberta and later SAIT, Martin decided to pursue a career in electronics engineering and technology. His first job was with Dresser Industries working off the coast of Newfoundland. Then with Dresser he worked in Calgary, Texas and the Arctic. His last job was with Telus where he worked until 1999.
Martin possessed an inquiring mind, was a devoted family man, gentle, hard working and honest. He never lost his sense of humour. We will remember him for his passion for life and all its challenges.

"To have lived well, laughed often and loved much;
To have gained the respect of intelligent man and the love of children;
To have filled a niche and accomplished a task;
To have left the world better by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul;
To have appreciated earth's beauty and not failed to express it;
To have looked for the best in others;
And to have given the best of yourself;
That is achievement."
- Robert Louis Stevenson.
