Stephen Harry Lock

Born Stephen H. Lock, in East Stroudsburg, PA in November 1951. He was the son of the late Caroline and Harry Lock and raised in Shawnee on the Delaware. Stephen attended the East Stroudsburg School system until he enlisted into the Navy for four years. He served as a chef on the USS Kitty Hawk during the Vietnam War.

Stephen was a devoted father, grandfather and husband. He is survived by his loving wife of twenty years Jane (Zaback White) Lock, four children: Stephanie, Nicole and Paige, and Travis, five grandchildren: Jonathan, Jerrit, Jordan, Dominiq, and Paisleigh, two sisters: Susan and Judy, his Uncle Fred and Aunt Helen, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Stephen's tenacious ways allowed him to overcome many obstacles and engage with anyone he met along the way. Stephen loved us all so much and lived a very eventful life. Post serving in the U.S. Navy, he lived in San Diego, CA for 18 years where he worked as an Iron Worker and owned a local bar. Stephen then moved to Fort Worth, Texas and eventual settling in Arlington with Jane. While living in Texas, Stephen worked as a supervisor for a miniature die-casting company then drove a semi-truck for 16 years. During his past time, he co-operated a beef jerky business, took long rides on his Harley with his wife and friends by his side, enjoyed fishing with his kids and grandchildren, cooking with family, and telling jokes.

Stephen could fill a room with laughter, great company and a delicious feast. He was a man of strong values and an excellent work ethic. He took much pride in his family, friends, being a Vietnam Veteran and an American.

Stephen will be greatly missed.
