Yesterday, we were Saddened to hear the news of Steve Zago, co-founder and co-owner of Lost Aviator Coffee Co. Lost Aviator Coffee Bar , due to a flying accident near Fergus on Friday morning. My heart goes out to Adam, Holly, both of their families, friends, Lost Aviator team members, and all those affected by Steve’s untimely passing.
Heres a few photos of Steve and Adam flying and hanging together, some of the artwork at the LAC locations, and the infectious smiles. Take a moment and cherish them ❤️
Steve & Adam were clients of mine, and if you’ve ever met them and heard their story, they are absolute go-getters, who both flew as commercial pilots while building LAC. Both Steve & Adam have been community builders, contributors to the aviation world (which re-sparked my childhood interest in combat aviation again 🙏🏻), and enthusiasts in whatever they have had their hands in. Aside from the business, both Steve and Adam are pretty funny and have always had a great sense of humour-which is why I think we all got along!
Steve will be missed dearly, and I know that he had such a great impact on those around him- which Im realizing is a far larger circle than I even imagined- from Family & Friends, Coffee, Business, Aviation/CAF/RCAF/Waterloo Warbirds, and many other facets of life, his missing presence will certainly be felt.
Keeping Steve’s memory going for a long time to come will be in those moments where we reflect on the millions of tiny things that make up a person, and what Steve meant to each person he influenced….RIP dear friend🙏🏻 I’ll never look at another jet when the warbirds are ripping over my neighbourhood without thinking of you again.
