Jay wore many hats over the years working his way to the top in the business world. He was a friend, a leader and a mentor to so many. He accomplished so much in his short time here but most importantly he was proud to be a daddy.

Jay had a love for sports, his favourite teams were the Green Bay Packers, Edmonton Oilers, Edmonton Eskimos (Elks), and Nascar. Sundays were for football and food as he had a passion for trying new recipes and making amazing food with his wife and kids.

Jay was a devoted loving husband and father. He is survived by the love of his life his wife, Katie; his most precious treasures his children, Jackson, Kyleigh, and Jordy; his brother, Ian (Kyla) who he was very close with; his dad, Jerry; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, many friends, and of course his fluffy pup, Ozzy Pawsbourne the Prince of Barkness.

David Stephen Milne

February 16, 1954 – February 1, 2026

It is with a great sense of sadness and loss that we announce the sudden passing of David Stephen Milne “Steve” on Sunday, February 1, 2026 at the age of 71 years.

Steve was predeceased by both of his parents, John Allan Milne and Margaret (nee Gleisner) Milne.

He leaves to mourn his passing and remember his life, his wife, Kathie; stepchildren, Stephanie Kress and Talbryn Finch; his brother, Dean Milne (Carol); his brother-in-law, Blaine Ashmore (Kandice); his cousins and the many, many friends that he has made and kept over the years.

Born in Stettler Alberta on February 16, 1954, Steve moved with his parents and brother to a variety of locations before landing in Ft. Saskatchewan AB. It was there that Steve’s love of all thing’s motocross grew! Eventually Steve and his brother Dean opened “Milne Brother’s Cycle” in Fort Saskatchewan, a family affair, as their mom would often work with them. Steve and Dean supported many a young motocross riders over the years, organizing and running races while also racing themselves.

He started working for the Alberta Government at CDC North (Tree Nursery) straight out of high school and for the following 30 years after that, splitting his time between CDC, the shop, racing and travelling. The shop closed its doors in 2001?

After Steve left the GOA, his interests took him to work in several “bike shops’ doing what he loved – meeting people, making friends and getting people involved in riding!

Steve pursued a variety of interests over the years, but none that would impact him as much as becoming a “Traeger” ambassador for Canada. His interest and talent in “smoking food” led him to attend competitions and be recognized for his cooking talents in many venues.

As Steve started to wind down into retirement, he pursued starting his own business and became known in recent years as the “Smoke Peddler” renowned for his smoked salmon, which gained him a large following of those that became addicted to his amazing recipe.

Steve was a man of “black labs” having had many fur babies over his lifetime, all black labradors, and all named Smoke!

Prior to his passing Steve had been impacted by a number of health-related issues but none that ever touched his undeniable spirit.

Celebration of Life

A celebration of Steve’s amazing life will be held later in the summer of 2026.

In lieu of flowers, family asks that you make a donation in Steve’s memory to the Second Chance Animal Rescue (SCARS) at

Brandy Alana McIsaac

September 8, 1979 ~ January 30, 2026

Brandy Alana McIsaac was born on September 8, 1979, in Fort McMurray, Alberta, and passed away on January 30, 2026, in Edmonton, Alberta.

She was a bright light to anyone who had the privilege of hearing her laugh and seeing her true smile. Brandy was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, cousin, niece, and friend.

Throughout her life, Brandy met and touched many people along her journey—from her school days in Redwater, Alberta, where she excelled academically and formed lifelong friendships that remained a comfort to her throughout her life, to her adventures in Victoria, BC, and her many years in the Edmonton, Alberta area.

She was full of life and had a deep passion for books (a love she passed on to her niece), music, cult films—Empire Records being a favorite—art, and stylish haircuts. She had a way of leaving an impression wherever she went.

Brandy faced many struggles throughout her life, including challenges with physical health, mental health, and addiction. Yet in the final year of her life, she showed remarkable determination and courage. She was deeply committed to working on every aspect of her life and was beginning to see a brighter future for herself. She spoke with great fondness of the amazing people she met along her road to recovery and looked forward with excitement to seeing her therapist every Thursday. We are profoundly grateful to all those who saw her true light and walked alongside her.

Just as Brandy felt a window opening and could see the light at the end of the tunnel, her physical health took a sudden downturn and robbed us of a truly wonderful person.

In her final weeks, Brandy fought valiantly. One moment I, as her sister, will always hold close to my heart was a difficult day when she was admitted to the hospital on January 3rd. She looked at me and said, “All I want to do is sit in the hot tub and watch House.”* To make that day as calm and comforting as possible, we spent time looking at the doctors and nurses and deciding which characters they would be on the show—a small source of laughter during a very hard time.

From that moment on, all I wanted was to see her be able to do that one simple thing just one more time—and to see her smile.

So, in her honour, take a moment to sit back with a Coke or an iced tea, watch even just one episode of House, and think of Brandy relaxing in the hot tub, enjoying life without worry, and smiling.

Brandy will be lovingly remembered by her parents, Judith and Daniel McIsaac; her brothers, John Faulds and David Schamber (Renee Hooper); her sister, Lisa McKeown (Brian); her nieces and nephews, Laura (Rob), Kyle (Charena), Cam (Charlie), Chris (Alysha), and Callum; her five great-nieces and great-nephews; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Brandy did not want a service or, as she put it, a “big fuss.” A private family gathering will be held later, possibly in the spring—when the flowers are blooming and the snow is gone, her favourite time of year.

Whether you knew her as Miss B, Aunt B, Brandini, Branflake, Auntie Brandy, or simply Brandy, we are so proud that she was so deeply loved and cared for in her short time with us.

Goodbye for now, our sweet Brandy.
