Stephen Ahearn Obituary
1988-2011
Stephen Kyle Ahearn, of Molino, died Tuesday, June 7, 2011 in his home, after an almost two year struggle with cancer. He was 22 years old. Stephen was born in Pensacola on June 11, 1988.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Huston and Phyllis Matroni and maternal grandparents, Julia and Bill Ard.
He is survived by his wife, Priscilla and their two daughters, Aubree and Addison; parents, Rochelle Ahearn and Paul Matroni; brother, Nicholas Matroni; grandparents, Don Limerick and Kathy Ahearn; aunts and uncles, Debra Ahearn and Rob Anderson, Shelly Wilcox Coffee (Eddie), Pat Kennedy (Ralph), Joanne Logsdon (Greg); numerous great aunts and uncles; his very special uncle, David; cousins, Crystal Pino, Ocean Anderson, Diana Gonzalez (Geo), Chance Coffee, Amanda Coffee, Chris Coffee, Shawn Coffee, Jacob Baker, Angela Marchetti (Kevin), Cara Campion, Lauren Baker, Brian Logsdon (Lenore), Brad Logsdon (Teresa), Amy Van Duesen (Adam); parents-in-law, Fred and Beth Woods; sisters-in-law, Kelly Woods, Heidi Woods, Sarah Rivera, Susan Degraaf (Ronald); brother-in-law, Jeff Woods and Ronnie Rivera.
To everything there is a season, and in our heart and minds, his will always be Summer. He loved the outdoors, being out on the river, and going fishing. He was a hard working man who carried on the tradition set forth by his father, Paul; grandpa, Don and "Papa" Matroni of building things "with their own two hands". In school he was recognized with a Certificate of Merit in Mathematics and he won an Excel Award. He also volunteered for The Special Olympics. Unto everything there is a purpose under Heaven, and his life on Earth leaves behind so many precious gifts. He will be dearly missed and forever loved by his entire family and many friends.
Trahan Family Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Memorial services will be held at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, June 18th at St. Monica's Episcopal Church, 699 S. Highway 95A, Cantonment, FL 32533.
