He was a proud great-grandfather to Noah and Ava Telford, Autumn Steele, Alex and Jacob Steele, Emery and John Steele, Harvey and Daxton Wittick, Eli and Delilah Adams, and Violet Steele.

Predeceased by his parents, Roy and Belle Steele, his brother Ernest, sister-in-law Mary, sister Bernice, brother-in-law Doug Erskine, sister Jean, brother-in-law Bob Huddleston, and brother-in-law Lorne Coulter, Percy leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will forever live in the hearts of his family and friends.
