Steve McKay - 55Steve - passed away
Don't put too much off for another day, as life gives us no promise of tomorrow...
It is with great sadness I share with you that I learned earlier today, via his wife Debbie, that Steve passed on after being admitted to the ER last
night. If you ever knew Steve, you would know what a special guy and a good friend he was as well as how much fun he was to be around. He was always
willing to help out and did a lot of work supporting the cause of abandoned animals on both sides of the border - he had a HUGE heart!
I will never forget a very special dinner Cristina and I shared together with Steve, his brother Cliff, Ross Zoerhof (Rossman), Juan Cook and his wife
Maricela, Daniel Powell and Shari Bondi. It was nearly 5 years ago to this day and 3 of them from this photo are no longer with us - Cliff, Ross and
now Steve.
QEPD amigo, I'll see you on the other side.
From left to right:
Ross, Steve, me in the back, Cristina, Shari in front, Maricela and Cliff. Juan took the photo and Daniel would arrive late, just a short while later.

there by his side. DEP amigo.

Steve was always kind and a joy to chat with online. I believe we met at Camp Gecko, twenty years ago... Vaya Con Dios, amigo!

Yes, in the early morning hours of last November 29th. That was another very tough one for me - Ross and I were discussing plans to get the gang in
the photo above all back together to remember Cliff who had already passed away.

I never got to cross paths with Steve, but spent more than a few hours fishing with “The Rossman”. This post reminded me of my own mortality as
I’m getting pretty long in the tooth myself. I hope they’re both hooking up with a big one way up yonder.
Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

That's a bummer. Never met Steve but sure looks familiar. RIP
Ross I chatted up about fishing, of course, a few times while passing through BA. That dude was fishy, a veritable saltwater, crusty fisherman
indeed.
His dedication to saltwater fishing was unparalleled. Launching the tin boat, retrieving it in the wind, fishing every chance he had, he attained
legendary status in my Baja fishermen world.
Sorry to hear he passed on. RIP
