As an avid lover of nature, Stephen found peace and joy in the great outdoors. Whether it was casting a line into a lake with his children or setting up camp under the stars, he cherished every moment spent in nature's embrace. His love for fishing and camping was matched only by his desire to share these experiences with his family, passing on his knowledge and appreciation for the beauty of the world around him. His adventurous spirit and deep connection to the outdoors will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

Stephen was a proud and dedicated Freemason, having been a member of Ben Hur Lodge No. 322 for many years. He believed strongly in the values of brotherhood, charity, and service to others, and he lived those principles throughout his life. As a respected member of the Masonic community, he not only took pride in the rituals and traditions but also in the bonds of friendship and support that he found within the fraternity. His commitment to Freemasonry was a reflection of his character — honorable, compassionate, and always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Above all, Stephen was a devoted father who dedicated his life to the love and well-being of his children. His greatest joy came from spending time with them, offering wisdom, guidance, and a constant presence in their lives. Whether it was through everyday moments or grand gestures, he always put his family first, teaching them the values of kindness, hard work, and unconditional love. His unwavering commitment to his children was a testament to the deep bond he shared with each of them, and his love will continue to inspire them for generations to come.

Stephen will be remembered for his kindness, humor, and, most importantly, his love for his family. He touched many lives with his compassionate nature and will be deeply missed.
