Stephen J. Collins passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy defined by devotion, generosity, and unwavering love for his family.
Stephen lived his life with a quiet strength and a steady purpose. Above all else, he was a devoted father to his daughters, Garland and Ashley. His love for them was constant, steadfast, and unconditional, and he took deep pride in the lives they built and the families they nurtured.
Steve was a deeply involved and adoring grandfather to his beloved grandchildren: Lukas, Ethan, Lily, Hadley, and Connor. To know Stephen was to know his grandchildren — their accomplishments, their interests, their stories, and their voices. He followed their lives closely, celebrated their milestones enthusiastically, and found immense joy in being present for them. His role as "Papa" was one of the greatest honors of his life.
Those who knew Stephen knew him as a man of integrity, thoughtfulness, and quiet kindness. He was dependable, principled, and deeply loyal to the people he loved. He showed his care not through grand gestures, but through consistency, presence, and the certainty that his family could always rely on him.
Stephen's passing was sudden and deeply shocking to those who loved him. His absence leaves an immeasurable void, but his influence endures in the lives he shaped, the values he modeled, and the love he gave so freely. His family will carry forward his memory with gratitude, pride, and enduring affection.
Stephen is survived by his daughters, Garland and Ashley; his grandchildren, Lukas, Ethan, Lily, Hadley, and Connor; His Mother, Paula; his siblings Cindy and Randy; also survived by Deborah Luippold.
