About Stephen Boersma
Stephen Daniel Jo Boersma passed away suddenly on December 15, 2021, at the age of 29, in San Diego, California.
Anyone who knew Stephen, knows that we have all lost a shining light in our lives. He will be forever missed by his father, Jack (Diane), his mother, Bernita, sister Heather, brothers Johnathan and Matthew (Rachel), his nephew Jayden and his many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and co-workers.
At the young age of 29, Stephen accomplished many feats including, an honours Bachelors in Commerce from the UBC Sauder school of Business, and a MBA from York University. Additionally, he obtained the professional designation of Chartered Professional Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst. He was also a talented athlete, who played hockey for 13 years with the New Westminster minor hockey league. Stephen was also a gifted actor who performed in many locally produced TV shows and commercials.
More than his accomplishments, Stephen brought so much joy to the world. Stephen had a deep love for people and animals and an infectious laugh that made the whole room light up. He loved his family and friends with his whole heart and had a rare way of making people feel important and special. There are no words to describe the loss.
Although heartbroken, we live in peace knowing that Stephen is now with his grandma and grandpa Boersma, his oma and opa Bronsema, his auntie Jo-ann, and his uncles Frank and Clarence.
