AZIZ, Stewart Aziz  - Our Stew left us on December 20, 2018, at the age of 60, after a brief illness, surrounded by the great love and affection he so deserved for a life well and ethically lived.

Beloved son of the late Bill and Sophie Aziz, and son-in-law of the late John Upton.

Stew is survived by his adoring wife and soul mate of 33 years, Elaine, his devoted children, Neale (Haeleigh) and Grace, and his cherished granddaughter, Frances.

He will be greatly missed by his loving sisters Kathy Aziz, Debra England (Les) and Cindy Aziz (Craig Walker), his wife’s family, mother-in-law Sally Upton, and Karla Stout, Craig Stout (Suzy), Peter Upton (Jo-Anne) and Lucy Sanford (Norman), his nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, friends and colleagues too numerous to count and the family dog, Wylee.

Born on April 27, 1958, in Toronto, Ontario, Stew was taken from us far too soon, but we were blessed with much joy and shared experiences and a wealth of memories in the years he was ours.

At Stew’s request there will be no service, but a memorial event will take place in the spring to celebrate Stew’s rich and vibrant life.
