Stephen Lloyd Tedesco

Stephen, or Steve as everyone known him by, was born on March 1,1956 in Long Beach, California to Leonard Tedesco and Avis Tedesco as the last born in a family of 6 other siblings.

Steve attended several high schools before studying Forest Management at Oregon State University. However, he graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Business Administration.

Steve was preceded in death by his beloved wife, best friend and closest partner in life, Preda Tedesco. He is also preceded by many loving family members, too many to name here.

Steve loved to figure things out, and always had a project going, or something that he was tinkering with or fixing. He meticulously took care of everything he had, and took pride in leaving things better off than how they were. He loved spending time with family and friends with good food, drinks and great conversation.

Steve was known as a simple man, in that it didn’t take much to make him happy in life. He loved being with and serving people, and trying to make the lives of those whom we came into contact with a little better, every day. He was kind, generous, loving, positive and lived his life with a servant’s heart. He always assumed the best in others and encouraged them. He was a Godly man, and loved Jesus with all of his heart.

He will be greatly missed by so many.
