Steve Charles Ruttan

Steve passed peacefully, with family by his side, at North Bay Regional Health Centre on Thursday, February 20, 2025.

Steve was the beloved father of Darin Ruttan (Louise) of Powassan, Steven Ruttan of North Bay, Nadine Prior of North Bay, Jessica Ruttan (Fran) of Ottawa and Whitney Ruttan (Alex) of Timmins. He was the proud and loving Bacca/Grandpa of eight grandchildren: Braeden, Miranda, Joshua, Jasmine, Kyleigh, Maryse, Tylar and Jordan, and four great-grandchildren. He was the dear brother of Floyd Ruttan (Gail) of British Columbia. Steve will be lovingly remembered by his lifelong best friend and the love of his life, Ann.

Steve was a longtime Agent with Ontario Northland Railway. He was well known in the Powassan area as the proud owner of Stevann’s and Crosstown Courier.

Cremation has taken place. Steve’s family will celebrate his life privately.

We were grateful to be granted more time with our father through the generous Gift of Life donation and through the Ajmera Transplant Organization at the Toronto General Hospital. We would encourage everyone to sign their donor card, and to donate to either the UHN Foundation or the Toronto Lung Transplant Civitan Club.
