STEVEN JOEL BORODITSKY
He is survived by his parents, Diane and Richard Boroditsky, his brothers, Alan (Lisa) and Michael (Elizabeth) Boroditsky; as well as his nieces and nephews, Matthew, Jordan, Emma, Noah and Maddy.
Steven grew up in Winnipeg graduating from high school at University of Winnipeg Collegiate. He furthered his education at University of Winnipeg and completed Business Administration from the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Steven later became certified as a Microsoft Certified Technician.
Over the years Steven lived in a variety of places from Calgary and Vancouver to Lake Louis and Israel. He would blend right in making friends quite easily. He quite enjoyed sharing a laugh and a smoke. Steven was known as a people person by showing sincere interest in everybody that he met. He was a very loyal and genuine friend. He took great pride in helping out anyone whether it was moving a couch or re-wiring the internet.
Steven would not shy away from adventure. This was exhibited early when he decided to walk home from Gimli. He actually made it all the way to Selkirk. However, some of his adventures were not always well thought out. Fracturing his collar bone playing frisbee golf on 4x4 is a great example. Steven was filled with courage, determination and a whimsical nature.
Over the years Steven did have his struggles with Mental Health but again and again found the strength to get better and move forward. He had numerous support systems which he used to help navigate some of the troubles. He was truly grateful for these people supporting him through his darker days.
Steven's true love was being in Gimli spending time with his nieces and nephews. During the many summers at Gimli he would have the pleasure of spending quality time with them all. Gimli also provided him with the company of old friends. Having a visit on the beach, a game of backgammon in the porch or a bonfire late at night. Steven was happy to visit and spend time with family and friends.
Uncle Steven would never say no to the kids always wanting to be involved. It was not too many years ago he joined in a roaring match of beach volleyball. This was likely the final result of him needing hip surgery. Uncle Steven did not care; to him it was worth it, just to spend time with the kids. Steven also loved one on one time with his nieces and nephews, spreading his wealth of knowledge and experience. Steven would remind them; do what he said not what he did!
Steven had a difficult life but he was a kind soul, loyal person, loved son and proud uncle. One that made a lasting impression on the numerous people who had the privilege of knowing him...please do not remember our uncle, brother and son as just another statistic. Rather, remember Steven for the kindness he spread to everyone he knew. He will be sadly missed.
Special thank you goes to everyone who has helped us navigate this difficult process.
Should people wish to show their respect in memory of Steve, donations can be made to your local Jewish and Child Family Services.

To the whole Boroditsky clan, my heart broke when I heard the news, and I send much love and light for healing at this time. Although I did not spend much time with him in the last 20 years, it was always so good to see him and catch up. After sitting and talking with him in the summer of 2019, I was reminded of what an incredible soul he was....one of the warmest, most misunderstood of people I have ever known, with the most gentle caring heart...truly not meant for this realm, as he was so much more than anyone understood. May he now be at peace in a place where all his gifts are appreciated in their fullness. - Posted by: Lisa Wilder (Friend) on: Jan 04, 2021

I worked with Steven at Grapes many years ago and remember him fondly. He was such a hard worker. I remember he would come in ready to work even if he was not on the schedule. He always told me that he was ready to jump in if anyone wanted to leave early or take the night off. He had an amazing work ethic. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. - Posted by: Nikki Brett (St.Hilaire) (Worked together in the past ) on: Jan 02, 2021
