SCRUTTON, Stephen Richard Scrutton

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the death of Stephen Richard Scrutton on Friday, June 20th, 2025, after a courageous battle with leukemia.

Stephen is the beloved husband and best friend of Nora (nee Droppo), and treasured brother of Jill Scrutton-Fulford (Neil) and Hilary Merritt (Robert), brother-in-law of Ian Droppo (Anna-Marie) and their families. He was a treasured uncle, great-uncle, cousin, and friend. Stephen was predeceased by his parents, Janice and Paul Scrutton, and his brother, Nigel.

Stephen will be greatly missed by so many. His kindness, caring, and generosity were expressed in countless ways. His unwavering Christian faith supported him throughout life and carried him as he faced death and the promise of heaven. “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Our family wishes to thank Dr. Michael Radford and his team for their compassionate care of Stephen.

Friends will be welcomed at the Dwayne D. Budgell Funeral Home, 1105 Rest Acres Road, Paris, on Wednesday, June 25th, 2025, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. A Celebration of Life will be held in the Funeral Home Chapel on Thursday, June 26th at 12:00 pm. A private burial of cremated remains will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Juravinski Hospital Cancer Center Foundation or a charity of your choice in Stephen’s honor would be appreciated by the family.
