It is with broken hearts we sadly announce the passing of Steven John Bodnar on July 2, 2021 at the age of 64 years.
Steve was predeceased by his Mom Maxine Bodnar who he missed every day. Steve is survived by his Dad John; siblings Bonnie, Delila and Charlie; his coffee buddies and extended family at McEwen Manor.
Steve was born in Regina, SK where he resided all his life. He attended Thom Collegiate. Steve had many talents which included drywalling, mechanical work, carpentry, cement finishing and painting. When he was well, he could do anything. He worked as psychiatric attendant and had a drywall company in his early years. Steve loved to hear all about your life even though he didn’t feel well. We miss all his calls to his Dad, sisters and brother. Steve loved his daily morning coffee in his suite, playing guitar and tinkering with his prized truck. Steve had a big heart for everyone and was loved by all who met him. We will always remember his funny laugh that would make you smile.
We would like to thank Amy, EMS, ER, CCU and SICU staff for all that they did for Steve.
A Private Family Interment will be held at a later date.
Flowers gratefully declined. Donations may be made to McEwen Manor Social Fund c/o Phoenix Residential Society, 2035A Osler Street, Regina, SK S4P 1W5.

I was Steve's cleaner at Phoenix for the last few years. Steve was my favorite client but he was so much more to me. He was a dear friend and part of my chosen family. Steve's home was always a hub of activity, everyone loved Steve, including me. I will never forget how he shared in my excitement while I was hunting for my first home. He helped me make the right choice. He was a plethera of knowledge on how to fix everything. I always looked forward to hanging out with Steve every week. He would catch me up on his week and asked about my house and son. I always knew he cared and I will miss that. He was the best! It is with a heavy heart that I send my condolences, he was a kind, generous and sweet man and I will miss him dearly. You will live on in my memories, and always have a spot in my heart, until we meet again my friend….
I remember going to high school at Thom Collegiate with Steve in the early 1970's. I never saw him again after high school, even though both of us remained in Regina. Steve was the type who left an impression on others, as he did me. He was loud, had an infectious laugh and was a very confident individual. But my fondest memory of Steve was that he had the coolest car in North Regina, a red jacked-up Mustang, a 1967 I believe. He took a few of us for rides every once in a while, and we all thought we were just as cool as Steve. This will always remain in my memory of Steve.
I worked with steve at the Regina general, we had alot of fun, he was always nice and always helpfull I am very sad to read about this to all his family very sorry for your loss
