Kenneth Bo Stephenson

August 7, 1964 - October 12, 2025

Woodland, California - Kenneth "Bo" Stephenson, 61 of Woodland California passed away on October 12, 2025, after a courageous, yet short, battle with cancer. He was a retired police officer who took great pride in serving the community he worked in. Known for his commanding presence and quick wit, he had a way of taking over a room and leaving an impression on everyone he met. To many, he was larger than life - strong in personality, loyal to those he loved, and proud of the life he built. He is preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Nancy Stephenson; his brothers, Stevie, Joe and Benji; and his beloved son, Braden. He is survived by his wife, Stacie; his children Tatiana (David), Brody and Brock; his stepchildren Breann and Kylie (Joe), his grandchildren Blue, Ryan and Gracie, his brother, Charley, goddaughter Mikali and countless nieces and nephews. He will also be remembered by extended family, friends, and those whose lives he touched throughout his years of service. Though life's paths were not always even, those who knew him will remember his courage, humor, and the mark he left behind. He was a father, a friend, and a man who lived life on his own terms. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, October 21, at 12 p.m. at the Woodland Cemetery, 800 West St. Woodland, CA.

I met Bo When I was a police officer at Simi PD and Bo was a new hire. As you all know, Bo he is very charming and we soon became a couple. When that ran its course. We stayed best friends forever. When he met and married his beautiful wife Tiffany. Our families blended together. I became the Godmother to his lovely children and he became the godfather to my lovely daughter. There were many ups and downs with Bo, but to be in his circle was amazing. He was larger than life. As you probably all know, he was sweet, crazy, kind, generous infuriating loving and you knew that this was a lifelong friendship. RIP my forever guy

I knew Bo through Little League as he and my brother were on the same team and my Dad was their coach. (Coach Robles). Those were good times and I loved watching them play and also holding little Charley during the games. 20+ years passed and the next time our paths crossed was when he unexpectedly came to my brother's funeral. It meant a lot to my Dad and our family. Sadly, our paths crossed again when we attended his baby son's funeral. Didn't keep in touch throughout the years but glad we were there for each other when it counted the most. Love and prayers to the family-Pamela Robles

I first met Bo in 4th grade as we went to school together. We played little league & HS football together, great memories. We graduated High School and life moved on. We have stayed in touch over the years, shared so much good and bad. He always asked about my parents. We were always friends. He was a good man and I will miss him. Rest in power my friend.
