Stephen Horspool Chenoweth

After a lengthy illness, Stephen Horspool Chenoweth, 35, returned to his Heavenly Home on June 9, 2015. He arrived in this world on June 29, 1979 to parents William Arthur Chenoweth and Carol Horspool Chenoweth in Birmingham, Alabama. He was full of energy, love of life and had a smile which lit up a room. He was a gentle and caring soul.

Stephen graduated from Mountain Brook High School in June 1997 where he was awarded the Spartan Spirit Award his senior year. He continued his studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder and American University in Washington D.C. as well as many trips internationally. The interaction he had with people of many nationalities influenced his ability to be objective, tolerant, and insightful. His ability to write with this thought process made him a favorite with his professors. He enjoyed photography, history, and writing.

Stephen had a love of nature and being active outdoors before his illness prevented it. He had the opportunities to go mountain biking in the Rockies, skiing in Park City, canoeing in the Quetico, the beach at Destin and enjoyed staying at the lake house at Logan Martin Lake with family and friends. Many days were spent riding watercraft, wake boarding and swimming.

He is survived by his father, William Arthur Chenoweth of Birmingham, Alabama, his mother, Carol H. Price of Roanoke, Virginia, his brother, William Arthur Chenoweth, Jr., of Birmingham, Alabama, his step-father, David C. Price of Roanoke, Virginia and his step-sisters Jennifer A. Price of Richmond, Virginia and Sarah Hefner of Raleigh, North Carolina along with 16 aunts and uncles and 32 first cousins. He was greatly loved and will be deeply missed.

There will be a graveside service at Elmwood Cemetery at the Chenoweth Family Site on Monday, June 15, 2015 at 12:00 noon. Visitation will be held on Sunday, June 14, 2015 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Ridout's Valley Chapel 1800 Oxmoor Road, Homewood, Alabama 35209.
