View Memorial

Steven Ronald Bregoliss took his final flight on the evening of May 6, 2016. Steve passed away peacefully at RIH with his three children by his side.

Steve was predeceased by his father Ronald Bregoliss. He will be greatly missed by his mother Thelma Bregoliss, son Ron Bregoliss, daughters Shana (Chris) Semrick and Kristin (Mark) Ignacz and granddaughters Leaf and Hannah.

Steve attended St. Ann’s Academy and Kam High before graduating from UBC as a civil engineer in 1973. He joined his father Ronald in Bregoliss Construction and Plateau Construction. In addition to contract work with Lafarge Canada, Steve’s quarrying and road building contracts led him all over BC.

In 1999, Steve accepted a job as the head of Texada Quarrying. Over the next ten years, he would help develop the business into the largest aggregate operation in Canada.

Steve’s love of flying his Cessna 210 plane was matched only by his extensive resume as an avid outdoorsman. In addition to his involvement with the Kamloops Flying Club, Heffley Creek Gun Club and Kamloops Trap and Skeet Club over the years, Steve also enjoyed hunting trips with his closest friends. He led fishing excursions at the Dean River, Bella Coola, and his love of fishing led him to Florida on an annual basis to wrangle the mighty tarpon fish. Amongst it all, Steve found solace in returning to the family farm where he was greeted by his beloved dog and greatest companion Buddy.

Steve always found room at the table for extra guests and welcomed everyone with open arms.
