Steve suffered a serious heart attack in November 2007. Complications created several near death experiences for him. As a grateful survivor, he has documented his journey through heart disease and has presented his story to Advocis, P.E.I., The Maritime Heart Center, Sun Life Financial Strategic Partners and Heart and Stroke Foundation of P.E.I. He was invited to speak to the World Conference on Critical Illness Insurance in Montreal in April 2009, but had to decline for scheduling reasons.
