I had to write this down. I had a great dream Monday night- was it a dream?
I dreamt you came to me and asked why I was telling everyone how you were always teasing me when you saw me. I started reminding you of some of the things you said to me and we were both laughing. You teased as older cousins tend to do, you were not mean to me, just friendly teasing. You started to remember and I started talking about the visit at Aunt Marilyn's years ago and we both repeated what you said to me at the same time. You and I were laughing and enjoying the memories and you told me "now I remember". It was such a great dream. You were so happy and filled with peace and light and I loved feeling like I connected with you again. I woke up feeling fantastic and that it was so clear and personable that it felt like more than just a dream. I thought I would record it here as I don't want to have this memory fade over time either.
Your cousin, Andrea

My condolences Amanda. I only met Stefan maybe a dozen times while you were working on my tattoo (biotech is Godzilla), but in that short time I definitely grew to like him a lot. He was a very cool guy, something we could use more of in this world. I have read the posts on here and think he had some amazing friends and family in his life, which to me says he did a lot of living even if tragically cut short.

Stefan: A decent guy with a self assured demeanor that some were fortunate enough to call "friend". He will be missed. Deepest sympathies to Amanda whose courage is without bounds.

"An angel came and saw your face
She took you to another place
She wanted you
Her chosen one
She didn't ask us, now you're gone
And all the tears she left behind
As all your loved ones sit and cry
Because we don't know you can fly
Through stars and sky
And pass us by
When we're sitting, thinking,
not expecting
Send us warmth and love protecting
Everyday to all the places
You hold dear, and all the faces
And if you could communicate, you'd say
despite the cosmic fate -
"I had a date, could not be late!"
And, "I'm not that far, peer through the gate"
And we will see
How lucky we are
Our minds can pan in from afar
To bring you close enough to see
We're only separated by gravity
And if we still think it's unfair
You'll smile to know that we still care
And stare we wonder
Stumbling idly
Caution if we dare and try to figure out why:
You'll force us to understand:
- Earthquakes shake the ground beneath our feet right where we stand
- Tornadoes sweep across the globe tormenting us with sand
- And storms we can't control keep us awake with noise and light
- But if we hold you in our hearts you'll watch us sleep at night
Thank you for being you.
Shalom.

Stefan was only an acquaintance but even though we met just a few times, he's someone who will always stay in my memories - not because he's gone now, but because he was here.
Oddly, another acquaintance of Stefan sent me a link to this site - he must have affected many people positively, so much that they care enough to spread the word to people like me would otherwise not have known.
My heart sank to my toes when I saw this webpage but in a brief moment of emptiness and shock, as I write this now, just a few seconds later, I feel complete peace and calm.
We all know that mortality is part of reality but we hardly acknowledge it everyday until someone we know dies and we're forced to think about it. I'm smiling now because in the few times I hung out with Stefan, I feel that he knew this all along. He had some higher intellect about him, a sense of confidence and pride that I'm thankful to have met him and I look forward to remembering him when certain songs play on the radio or I see a tattoo shop - and when I think about people with bravery.
When my best friend died @ age fifteen, I wrote a poem that began with these words - and here I've modified it for Stefan:
"An angel came and saw your face
She took you to another place
She wanted you
Her chosen one
She didn't ask us, now you're gone
And all the tears she left behind
As all your loved ones sit and cry

You hold dear, and all the faces
And if you could communicate, you'd say
despite the cosmic fate -
"I had a date, could not be late!"
And, "I'm not that far, peer through the gate"

I haven't been to Waycool since before Christmas and haven't been to this site for some time as well. I just found out about Stefans' passing today and it has left me shocked and deeply saddened. Amanda I am so sorry for your loss, my deepest sympathies to you and yours.

I still have that loonie you flicked at me walking by (on QueenSt nonetheless) when you scared the shit out of me yelling "Bum!"
It still makes me smile.
Miss you Stefan.

I have been permanently marked by you both and I was very sorry to hear of Stefan's passing. I made a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in his name. Take care Amanda.

And it was here that the wind
held it`s arms open and wide
for us
It was here that we laughed and
unfurled ourselves in the
swift breezes
Oh how lovely it was to let my
hair down in magnificent tornadoes
and let the darkness come
It was here that the sun held it`s
mouth open and burning for us
It was here that our hearts
melted and curled in the
quiet embers
Oh how lovely it was when we
used to hold onto our innocence
so tightly
I miss u...............

I only first met Stefan at Way Cool in 2005. I did not know him very well but he was always a great person to talk to. It was evident that Stefan loved life and I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.

Dearest Stef,
I remember when you first told me about your condition and I said "Nothing can happen to you!" because I just could not believe a life without you in it. Why is it that I still can't fully grasp that you're not here? That you're not down at the shop or maybe at the Bovine.
More than anything else your voice, laugh and those crazy eyebrows stay with me. I will always remember you as my first love and dearest friend. I felt it to be such a great privilege to be with Amanda, your family & closest friends in caring for you over these last few months.
I am so glad we met and I have to imagine that I will see you & my little doggy Brandon in another lifetime my dearest, sweetest friend.
Love
Michelle

I'm very saddened to learn today about Stefan's passing. I didn't know he was ill. I met Stefan at a Halloween party ('90) he had at his old studio at the Omega Building and we carried on a casual acquaintance over the years. I always had good conversations and times when he would visit whatever bar I was working at or hanging out on Queen Street. I lost one of my best friends to cancer 2 years ago (she was 33) and my thoughts go out to his family and friends. I'll be having a toast to you tonight, Stefan.

I can't believe how life is, so crazy that one second you're here and the next not..but I don't believe one is completely gone..I won't take for granted another moment, I am so sorry for the families and friends who feel like they lost something. I was goingt o go in and ask to get a tattoo done by you or Amanda, and then I come online again to see your work and read this. I am in shock and I don't know what to say...i wish you all so much peace
