Atwood, Stephen Leslie – age 70, passed away on October 4, 2025.
Stephen was born in Halifax and raised in Dartmouth. He spent a lot of time at the family farm in Upper Musquodoboit and the Mill with his uncles, Hugh and Willard and his cousins.
After completing his trade, he opened an auto body shop where he worked until retirement. He loved hunting and fishing and taking people out on the boat. Family, friends and his dog, Jib were very special to him. He was a jack of all trades and willing to help however he could. He loved chatting with everyone and he loved a good joke. He will be missed by many.
