Stephan Gregory Ginden, age 68, a longtime Atoka, OK resident, was born on Wednesday, July 31, 1957, to Abraham and Hazel Yavon (Muncy) Ginden, at Chicago, IL. Stephan passed away on Sunday, August 24, 2025 at Durant, OK. He attended Hibbard Elementary School and graduated from VonStueben High School in Chicago, IL with the class of 1975. He attended Automobile mechanics school for 2 years. Stephan was a mechanic and a karaoke specialist. He married Teresa (Brown) on Friday, July 29th, 1983 at Coalgate, OK. They were married for 41 years before Teresa's passing on May 23, 2025, which was devastating for Steve but he had Robert to care for him. The next three months were filled with pizza parties, movies, road trips and of course lots of heavy rock music. Stephan attended Jesus Name Church at Coalgate, OK. He enjoyed time with his family, rocking to music nonstop, going to concerts, and caring for his fur babies.

He is survived by his son, Robert Ginden and girlfriend Latosha Safe of Atoka, OK; grandchildren, Claysen, Chaini, Benjamin; brothers, Dave Ginden and Lucy of Coalgate, OK, Randy Ginden and wife Betty of Skokie, IL; sister, Ellen Ginden of Conroe, TX; niece, Jennifer Ginden and fiance Jon Calder of Chicago, IL; nephews, Christopher Ginden and wife Jamie and children, Jackson and Henry of Anna, TX, Allan Ginden and wife Heather of Chicago, IL; along with other relatives and many dear friends.
