Stephen Harold Kowalski, "Steve", age 67, of Wilmington, DE passed away surrounded by his family on April 11, 2025.
Born in Wilmington, Steve was the son of Florence (Parkinson) and the late Henry "Hank" Kowalski. He graduated from McKean High School and spent time working for Pitney Bowes and most recently, Artisans' Bank. Steve was an avid Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles fan and enjoyed antique car shows. Every spring and summer, he always had a big garden full of fresh vegetables that he would share with his friends, family and neighbors. Steve was very patriotic and looked forward to enjoying the 4th of July holiday every year. He was a loving son, wonderful brother, and devoted to his family.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Christiana Care's Heart and Vascular Center staff and the Accent Care Hospice staff who cared for Steve in his final days.
Steve was preceded in death by his father, Henry 'Hank" Kowalski in 2014. Steve is survived by his mother, Florence Kowalski; and his sister Christine Kowalski and her partner, Ali Samii.

My brother Steve... From when i first moved to Delaware in 67. We have been great friends. Throwing the football or baseball around. Playing street and ice hockey with the gang. Dressing up for halloween and scaring the trick or treaters. Until we meet again.. Rest in peace.
