It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Stellan Ragnar Boivie. After a long and courageous battle with illness, Stellan passed away on June 15, succumbing to heart failure.
Stellan will be missed for his sharp wit, genuine kindness, and remarkable talent for fixing anything that crossed his path. He was an avid photographer and sailor, who found happiness in the outdoors.
He and his wife Catherine were passionate travellers, exploring over 50 countries together and immersing themselves in diverse cultures and experiences.
His presence brought joy and laughter to those around him, and his absence will be felt deeply by all who knew him.
In honour of Stellan's memory, the family kindly requests that instead of sending flowers, donations be made to one of the charities listed below. To show their appreciation for the support, the family has committed to matching all donations received.
Please join us in remembering and celebrating Stellan's life. We can honour his legacy by contributing to causes that were close to his heart.
A celebration of Stellan’s life will be held at a later date.
