He was a 1992 graduate of Menchville School and an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. Stephen always enjoyed life and being outdoors. He especially loved the times he spent going fishing and boating with his father. He was a caring and loving son, and for all his family and many friends who will miss him, a golden heart has stopped beating.
Stephen is survived by his parents, Randy and Mary Hines; and brother, Kevin Hines, all of Newport News; maternal grandmother, Mary Cox of Hampton; five uncles, Kenny Hines of Newport News, Larry Hines and wife, Veronica of Williamsburg, and John, Bobby, and Keith Cox, all of Hampton; four aunts, Carol Hughes and Donna Mitchell and husband, Mike, both of Hampton, Betty Overby and husband, Tommy of Williamsburg, and Margaret Blake of Newport News; a niece, Hillary Hines of Newport News; a special cousin, Angela Mitchell of Hampton; a host of extended family and friends.
A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 4, 2009, at Weymouth Funeral Home Chapel, by the Rev. Dennis Worsham.

To the family of Stephen Hines,
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I was one of Stephen's teachers while he was in middle school. He always had a good head on his shoulders and a smile on his face. More recently, I had a yard crew at my home in Smithfield. Stephen came to my front door to ask if I remembered him. Of course, I did remember him and I was thrilled to see him again. We had a wonderful time chatting and getting caught up. I introduced him to my middle-school aged son and we laughed about how we'd come full circle. I can only imagine the pain you are going through and I pray that you will be comforted by the fact that not only was Stephen an awesome kid, but a very impressive young man as an adult. Stephen was not a person who, once you met him, could easily be forgotten. I am so very glad I had the opportunity to know him. Please accept my sincere condolences.
