Those who knew Stephen would describe him as a creative and kind soul possessing a warming personality and beautiful smile. He enjoyed travel, music, writing, and exploring. Being surrounded by the natural world of the outdoors and seeking peace in it’s environment, is where Stephen felt most at home. He shared a deep connection with animals, loved children, and shared a tender heart for those who were suffering or less fortunate.

Stephen was a competitive Athlete, winning the Maryland State Wrestling title in his sophomore year at North Harford High. For those who knew him, he will be remembered in a way that is uniquely special for them. Someone who was loving, kind, loyal, confident, humorous and caring, would be common qualities expressed.
