Born on November 5, 1956, in Chicago, IL, Stephen was the son of Richard and Joan (Zimprich) Salamon. Throughout his life, he worked in the printing industry, taking pride in his craft and hard work. On October 8, 1977, he married the love of his life, Sandra Rasmussen, and together they built a life centered around love, family, and shared memories.
Stephen had a passion for woodworking, finding joy in creating with his hands. More than anything, he cherished time spent with his family, especially his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His warmth, wisdom, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

He is also survived by his siblings, Mark, Julie, Bob, and Karen.
