It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and colleague Steven Vickets on Feb 11,2026.
Steven was an incredible worker and an exceptional friend to so many. His heart was pure and he took pride in and loved supporting others in whichever way he could. Steven thrived when working as a Peer support worker here at Umbrella. He created engaging programs for residents at our sites like the 'gardening group' at Tiny Town, the 'walking group' at Muncey place and ensured there were always fun games days as well! Steven also devoted his years to working with Victorias senior population though Silver Threads and Amica house amongst others. He was absolutely excellent at bringing fun and light to his work for his clients and his colleagues.
Steven loved fitness, modeling and acting. He loved spending time with his family, and most especially his nephews. Steven is a true testament of someone who never gave up. When the going got tough ...he would ask for support. We will never forget his humour , his vibrancy and his love and adventure to always trying new things. We already miss him immensely. We at the Umbrella Society send our thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences to all of his family during this challenging time.
Steven's celebration of life will be held at :
Gorge Park Pavilion
(1070 Tillicum Road ,Victoria BC )
Sunday April 26
1:00pm-4:30 pm
Guests are encouraged to wear bright colours to capture and celebrate Steven's vibrant soul🌈
