Stephen Charles Cmar

CMAR, Stephen Charles Age 20, left our earthly presence to join The Lord in eternal peace and salvation on Thursday (5/6) as the result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Born in Waltham, MA, beloved son of Geoffrey & Deborah (Collins) Cmar, Stephen's family moved to Bow, NH when he was 10 months old. He was a graduate of Bow High School class of 2008, was a member of the class of 2012 at the University of New Hampshire, was a top cadet of their Army ROTC program, and was majoring in Geography. At Bow High School, Stephen played varsity football, ran track, and played lacrosse. He was an avid Boston sports fan, played youth hockey for the Concord Capitals and NH Avalanche, and enjoyed riding his motorcycle. Stephen's faith and relationship with God was particularly important to him as was service to others. He was active in St. John the Evangelist Church's youth group and served The Lord by participating in four workcamps. Above all else, Stephen treasured spending time with family and friends. Although the hearts of all who knew Stephen are broken, we take comfort knowing that our lives are richer because we have been touched by his beautiful and compassionate loving soul, easygoing spirit and gentle disposition. In addition to his parents, Stephen is survived by two brothers; Geoffrey Craig Cmar, II of Bow and Shaun William Cmar of Dover; one sister, Leeanna Suh Mee Helen Cmar of Bow; grandparents, Paul and Joan Collins of Bow; 19 cousins, including five with whom he had a particularly close relationship; Christopher, Ryan, Marc, Scott, and Connor Simpson, of Bow; his aunts and uncles; Barbara & Ken Eldridge of Charlotte, NC, Greg and Joyce Cmar of Lynn, MA, Chip and Ood Collins of Nashua, Nancylee and Robert Simpson of Bow, and Scott and Demi Collins of Atlanta, GA, Donna Revane of Hoosick Falls, NY, and Leslie Duffield of Atlanta, GA; and his great aunt and uncle, Patricia and David King of New Hampton. He was predeceased by his grandparents, George and Shirley Cmar. Visiting hours will be held on Tuesday, May 11, from 1-4 PM and 6-9 PM at The Waters Funeral Home, 50 South Main Street, CONCORD, NH. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, May 12 at 10 AM at St. John the Evangelist Church, 72 Main Street, Concord, NH.
