With great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Stephen Stefanoff, age 88, on December 22, 2025, in Mississauga, ON. Born in Montreal on Jan. 1, 1937, to the late Filaret and Eva Stefanoff, he spent most of his life in the Toronto/Mississauga area. Stephen enjoyed a long and fulfilling career with the Toronto Board of Education, teaching at the elementary and intermediate levels. In his leisure time, he was an avid reader, fisherman, photographer, stamp collector, and faithful fan of both the Toronto Blue Jays and Raptors.
Stephen was predeceased by his son, Phillip Stefanoff. He leaves behind his two daughters, Genya (Huyen) and Karen, and his grandsons Matthew, Jason, Nicholas and Gavin. Details of a celebration of life will soon follow, with interment at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Trillium Health Partners.
Stephen will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
