Stephen Provost Obituary

Stephen James Provost, 85, of Burlington, NC passed away peacefully on February 9, 2026 at the Twin Lakes Retirement Community. He was born on May 12, 1940 in Hartford, CT. He graduated from Saint Anselm College in Manchester NH with a BA in Philosophy after attending Manchester High School in Manchester CT.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Hector and Catherine Provost of Manchester, CT, older brother Robert Provost of Greenville, SC and his wife, Lorrie, as well as the recent sudden death of his son Michael Provost (USMC) of Buford, GA.

He is survived by his son Jeff S. Provost (Traci) and daughter Catherine C. Provost as well as his ex-wife, Barbara Jylkka Provost. Other Provost family survivors include his brother Richard Provost (Pat); and four grandsons; Alexander, Trevor, Dominic and Drew. Unfortunately, years of progressive dementia robbed him of the opportunity to know and spend time with his four great grandchildren; Thayer, Presley, Cal and Gus. He would have loved them too.

A private memorial service is being planned for the immediate family. You may send condolences to the family at www.lowefuneralhome.com

Steve was a neighbor while e and Barbara lived in Greensboro, but I knew him better through my husband, Bill Sullivan. They were business- associated. My husband Bill spoke highly of Steve, with much respect for his strong work ethic and ability to make things happen. My condolences to the family for your loss. My husband Bill also passed away in January, 1/19/26 while we were traveling in Norway. Two great men left this place and reunited with their loved ones in God's care. Blessings and hope for all of you, as you (and me, too) learn to keep moving forward. Teresa Sullivan
