In Celebration of

Stephen Victor "Steve" Castrucci

April 20, 1955 -  February 17, 2025



It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband and father, Steve Castrucci. A pillar of strength and a beacon of love, his absence leaves a void in our hearts. Steve will be remembered for his profound kindness and the joy and laughter he brought to all. His devotion to family and friends, and his continuous optimism, are irreplaceable.

Steve had a long career in product management in the computer software industry. He devoted countless hours to coaching all levels of sports, including baseball, hockey and basketball. In retirement, he volunteered with Food Banks Mississauga, delivering food and offering income tax filing support.

Steve will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Kerry (née Kennedy), and his children: Jeffrey and his partner Julia Riddell; and Andrew and his fiancée Maja Bukorovic. Steve was predeceased by his parents, Victor and Sylvia Castrucci. Beloved brother of Joanne Castrucci. Brother-in-law of Mike Petkovich. Son-in-law to Joan Kennedy and the late Robert Kennedy. Brother-in-law to Kevin Kennedy, Chris Kennedy and Kevin Howes, Carolyn Kennedy, Gayle Kennedy and Mark Saunders, Greg and Debbie Kennedy, and Neil and Tonya Kennedy. Uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held at Turner & Porter “Peel Chapel”, 2180 Hurontario St., Mississauga, on Sunday, February 23, 2025 from 1-3 and 5-7 p.m. All are welcome.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady of Peace Church, 3914 Bloor St. W., Etobicoke, on Monday, February 24 at 11:00 a.m.

Kerry, Jeffery and Andrew, we don't have the words to express our deep sadness. We had prayed for his recovery and at times it looked like it was working. However we believe Steve is in a better place now and without pain or suffering. He will be truly missed but not forgotten. Whenever we think about Steve we will always be reminded of his kindness and we will laugh about your recent hosting of the Grey Cup party. As an NFL fan he made all of us CFL fans feel welcome and also the same for the non football fans. Oh and also his enthusiasm and hopefulness for the Leafs. He is a great friend and we will miss him.

Steve was a long time friend since my teenage years (1970's). We met through common friends. RIP

Sincere heartfelt condolences to Steve’s wife and family
He was a bright star in high school and extremely kindhearted and patient with my silliness.

In heaven he will likely be helping or coaching as I believe we continue the do what we loved best here on earth.

Gone too soon.
