In Memory

Rockmount Financial Corporation acknowledges the sudden passing of our long-time friend and colleague, Stephen Yuen on Monday, March 23rd, 2020. 

Stephen was the Chief Financial Officer for the Rockmount group of companies including Kalmacoff Holdings Ltd., for twenty years.  
As Chief Financial Officer, Stephen was responsible for overseeing the accounting policies, financial reporting, and tax compliance. He also provided leadership for the strategic development of the organization and will be sorely missed.
​
Stephen will be lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend Cara and their three children - Randy, Ryan, and Kathy.
