He loved the outdoors, and spending time with his family. He and his wife enjoyed traveling, listening to music, being with their friends, and hanging out together as a family. He even proposed while with all of their children.

                Stephen lived life to the fullest up until he was diagnosed with ALS in May of last year. Even then, his desire to live kept his spirit upbeat, and he continued to put other people first. He would not give up and made every day count.
