Stephen Monroe Cain

Stephen Monroe Cain, born in Covington, KY on May 27, 1957, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2024, with family and friends at his bedside. He spent the last few weeks at Ohio State University Hospital. There, he was undergoing testing with hopes of being a recipient of a lung transplant. Steve is now at peace and breathing easy as he watches over us. Steve had a way of lighting up a room with his big smile, blue eyes, and of course, a COLD Miller Lite in hand. He touched so many people in so many ways - always helping others and guiding them, with never a negative thought or word. He never turned away from a challenge! The more difficult the challenge, the better. His passion in the vacuum business began while working side by side with his dad. He continued the 45-year legacy of All Vacuum Center until his retirement in 2020. Steve lived every day to the fullest! He enjoyed retirement, traveling, relaxing, being with family and friends, and eating nachos and dancing in the kitchen with his wife, Missy. Many friends, from all walks of life, have crossed the path of Steve Cain. Not only his lifelong friends from childhood, but also his customers, his Business Networking Family (BNI), and his horse riding/camping family. He often would say, "Friends are family." Steve is survived by his wife of 27 years, Missy Cain, sister Patricia (Tom) King and brother, James (Katherine) Cain. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ruth Joanne (Solar) Cain and James Cain, and by his brother Michael Cain. Steve's whole purpose in life - mind, body, and soul - was to make his wife, Missy, happy and to ensure that they both had fun every day. In Steve's words, "Have fun everybody! If ya ain't havin fun, then WHAT'S THE POINT?!" THERE WILL BE A CELEBRATION OF LIFE MEMORIAL! Date, time, and location to be announced.
