Obituary of Steen Clausen

Steen Clausen

(January 10, 1957 - April 15, 2024

Steen Clausen of Camrose passed away unexpectedly on April 15, 2024 at the age of 67 years.

Steen was born in Odense, Denmark, and as a baby emigrated with his family to Canada in the late 1950s, eventually settling in Edmonton. As a young man, he backpacked around Europe for six months, and loved stealth camping, playing football (soccer) and hockey. He loved football until the very end.  As a season ticket holder of the Edmonton Oilers in their ‘dynasty’ years (he was in the building for four of their five Stanley Cup wins), he frequently lamented the state of hockey today, having seen it at its best (in his opinion) so long ago.

Steen loved all animals, especially his beloved cats. 

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Sarah; mother Inger, sister Else (Claus) Hansen; and nephews Noel and Søren and their families.

At Steen’s request, no formal service will be held.

If so inclined, donations to your favourite animal charity or sanctuary would be appreciated.

Thank you to the staff at St. Mary’s Hospital, the Camrose Cancer Clinic, Home Care and Dr. Slabbert for their wonderful care over the last few years.
