Steven died suddenly and prematurely of a massive heart attack while on his annual ski vacation in Colorado, in his 49th year. He grew up in Collingwood, ON, attended Collingwood Collegiate Institute and later graduated from the University of Toronto with his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. His successful garden design and landscape architecture business later expanded to include interior design and his talent was celebrated in many prominent Canadian and American publications. Steven was a keen athlete, pursuing his two great loves ­ tennis and skiing ­ with the same passion that he had for everything in life. He loved 'going north' on weekends where he entertained frequently with style and panache. A generous and loving person with incredible energy and style, he brought light and joy to everyone's life. Son of Joan King and the late Clare King, brother to Diane and Deborah. Dear friend and companion to Peter Warner. Cherished friend to Jean Noble, Anne Noble McKee and Andrew McKee and the adored 'Uncle Steven' to Maggie & Abbey McKee.
