A adored son, brother, uncle, cousin, a son of God!
Stephen had a fearless heart and a steadfast spirit. He stood firmly for what he believed in and Who he believed in, never wavering in his convictions. Bold in spirit and faithful to the core, he was steadfast in his love and loyalty to his people — if you were his, you knew it without question.
He had a mischievous grin that hinted at the adventures in his heart, and a laugh so contagious it could lift the heaviest spirit. Stephen was witty, smart, and full of quick humor, often leaving those around him smiling long after he was gone. He embraced life with a fearless heart, pouring his love into others generously and without hesitation.
The quiet in his absence is heavy, yet there is deep comfort in knowing that Stephen is home with Jesus — whole, free, and wrapped in perfect peace. The struggles are behind him, the pain erased, and his joy made complete in the presence of the One he loved most.
Stephen’s story is not measured in years, but in impact — in the courage he lived with, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave. We cling to the promise that, in Christ, our goodbye is only temporary.
Stephen, until the day we meet again, you will be loved beyond measure, missed beyond words, and remembered always. ????
