Stephen Daniel Harfield Obituary

Stephen Daniel Harfield, a loving husband, son, brother, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on September 29, 2023 at 41 years of age from natural causes.

Stephen was born on December 5, 1981 in Calgary, Alberta to parents Don and Donna Harfield. He graduated from high school in 2000 and went on to attend University in Winnipeg, Manitoba where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in English Literature, and then obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree at the University of Alberta in 2010.

Stephen practiced family law in Edmonton and Sherwood Park, Alberta. He was known for his brilliant intellect, amazing wit, his off the wall humour, and for being an incessant jokester. He was also a talented jazz pianist and an award-winning poet. He was compassionate, deeply sentimental, hospitable, and generous. He loved their pet cats Pip and Puck.

Stephen is survived by his loving wife, Kristin Jennifer Radtke, her parents Ragnar and Edeltraud Radtke, his parents, Don and Donna Harfield, siblings Timothy Dean Harfield (Elisa), sister Karen Rae Harfield (Owen Dawkins), Jared Don Harfield (Gail), niece and nephews.

Stephen lived for his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS) or your charity of choice.

Sierra Yanush wrote a sympathy message

“I'm shedding tears in my office reading this. Stephen and I took the AFMS Mediation Training together online. He talked me into buying an insanely large tome on mediation, and then I found out after he hadn't actually read it, but it was in his "to read" pile. We finally got to meet in person at the LESA Refresher, and I really enjoyed our lunch and other interactions. My condolences to the family; he was a wonderful colleague.”

I did not even know Stephen personally but he has helped me many times by his informed and thoughtful comments on the Family Counsel message board. It was very apparent what an outstanding lawyer he was. I am deeply sorry for your loss and I will greatly miss his contributions.”

“My most sincere condolences to Stephen’s wife and family. I am shocked and saddened to the core by this unexpected news just as I was thinking I need to rush to the office to respond to Stephen’s last email on file we have spent a lot of time on trying to find a path to resolution. Beyond our file and committee work, I had the opportunity to get to know him a bit more when he drove me to the Family Law Refresher in Jasper. He possessed an impressive intellect. What a tremendous loss.”
