Stephen Michael Koroly

Stephen Michael Koroly, a treasured family man, and respected member of the community, passed away peacefully at the Blue Water Hospice Home in Marysville, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, dedication, and love. Born on September 26, 1955, in Detroit, Michigan, Stephen was the son of the late John and Patricia (Heiler) Koroly. His journey through life was marked by an unwavering commitment to his family, his work, and his passions.

Stephen's life was enriched by his loving wife, Gayle, whom he married on May 2, 1987. Their bond was one of deep affection and mutual respect, and together they raised a daughter, Patricia, who with her husband Ian Lynch of Clyde Township, brought immense joy to Stephen's life. He also leaves behind his brother, Gordon (Marlene) Koroly of Riverview, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories. Stephen was predeceased by his parents, John and Patricia Koroly, his step-mother Alma Koroly, and his brothers Kenneth and Donald Koroly.

For over four decades, Stephen dedicated himself to his work at US Steel, where he was not just an employee but a pillar of strength and reliability. After 35 years of work, he retired, marking the end of an era for his colleagues, who had come to know him as a man of integrity and perseverance. Throughout his career, Stephen was also actively involved in various associations, contributing his time and expertise to further the interests of his profession and colleagues.

Stephen's interests were a reflection of his character. He had a lifelong love for cars, relishing the time spent working on them. His hands were rarely still, always busy with a project or task that captured his focus and skill. The outdoors was his sanctuary, and he could often be found working in the yard, tending to his home with the same care and attention that he gave to every aspect of his life.

Family was the cornerstone of Stephen's world. He cherished moments spent with his loved ones, whether it was dining out or simply enjoying each other's company at home. His role as a husband, father, and brother was one he held with the highest regard, and the memories created with his family will continue to be celebrated and remembered.

Stephen Michael Koroly's life was one of purpose and joy. His impact on those who knew him will not be forgotten, as he leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and dedication.
