Stephen DeWitt Obituary
Stephen was hard-working and dedicated. He spent over 40 years working as a Sales Engineer, where he was known for his strong communication skills and knowledge of the industry. Despite his many responsibilities, he always made time for his family and his passions.
Stephen liked being the center of attention, he enjoyed making people laugh and sharing stories. He was a man of integrity, kindness, generosity, and he left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Stephen's hobbies and interests helped define who he was. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, and spending time with his grandchildren. His love for fishing was something he shared with his children and grandchildren, leaving a mark on us that will never fade.
He is survived by his wife, Carmen, children, Carla and Stephen Jr., son-in-law, Ricky, daughter-in-law, Lisa, grandchildren, Erik, Edgar, Vivian, Eros, Sophia, Enzo, Stephen III (Tripp), and his brother Dana DeWitt, as well as many friends and extended family members who will miss him dearly.
A celebration of life will be held on April 3rd, 2025 at 11:00 am at 4809 Dulin Rd., Fallbrook, CA, 92028.
We find comfort in knowing that my father's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever.

He introduced himself to me as DeWitt, and that's what I called him. But I referred to him as a dear friend, more so, family. In 1989, when I moved to southern California, DeWitt and Carmen, along with Carla and Stevie, adopted me. To this day I don't know why I was so lucky, but I'm forever thankful. He made me laugh. He made everyone laugh. One of his gifts was humor and he shared it unconditionally. His pride in his family was undeniable, and he was happiest when surrounded, in chaos, by everyone named DeWitt. Another gift was his generosity. When he opened his home and his family to me, I never left, and always had a place to visit, his warm and loving home. The world was a better place with Steve DeWitt in it. I take deep solace in having been part of his life, as I am better for all of our experiences. And though I miss him every day, my heart will be forever full with memories that will endure. Love you my friend.
