Stephen J. Myers, age 49, of Bear, DE, passed away on Thursday, December 28th, 2023.
Mr. Myers was born in Wilmington, DE on August 8th, 1974. He graduated from the University of Delaware in 1996 with a B.A. in English Language and Literature. After working in Marketing for companies such as HostMerchantServices, MetaSense and Results Driven Marketing, Stephen was employed by Continental Finance Company as the Senior Digital Marketing Manager at the time of his passing.
As an artist and lifelong comic book fan, Stephen's defining creation was Superchum, the World's Friendliest Superhero. First appearing within a comic strip in the University of Delaware's student newspaper, "The Review," in 1995, "The Adventures of Superchum and the Mighty Befrienders," continued into 2018, when Stephen became one of the co-founders of the creative collective and publishing company Oddity Prodigy Productions.
Mr. Myers was preceded in death by his mother Scherry H. Myers, his father Richard J. Myers and brother William Miliotis. He is survived by his brother Peter Miliotis of Rahway, NJ, his sister Effy Barone of Union, NJ, as well as two nephews, Billy Miliotis and David Barone, and a niece, Stephanie DePaola.
Family and friends are invited to a remembrance celebration of his life and art on Sunday, January 21st, from 9am to 12pm in the New Amstel Ballroom at the Embassy Suites Newark:
654 South College Avenue
Newark, DE 19713

I met Steve while at UD, and the first words I remember associating with him are 'friendly' and 'smiling.' I remember him as a thoughtful, friendly, person with a great sense of humor who was also a talented artist. Seeing the development of Superchum over the years as a simple audience member, I think it is a fitting anchor to his legacy as a person and an artist. I'll miss him.

I met Steve on 1992 when he was a freshman and lived on my floor in Rodney Hall A... Steve was an avid comic book and science fiction fan who drew his own comic Superchum which started as a daily strip in the UD paper the review and later was published as a comic book and on line... I still have my signed copy of superchum #1 that Steve gave me when he published his first comic book... even after graduting i continued to keep in contact with steve though our friend Jack and we did many things over the years all of us...we went to the small press expo in Bethesda maryland or when I would go visit my friends in DE would slways see strvd jack and all my friends... Steve was always a friendly face, an easy going person to talk to and someone I considered a hood friend... he will be sorely missed.... my sincere sympathy and condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time

Steve was such a talented artist and I also counted him as a friend when we both were employed at The Reporter newspaper in Lansdale. He always was smiling and ready to take on any assignment. I´ll never forget this great guy.
