Stephen Robertson Obituary

Visit the Hennessey Funeral Home & Crematory - Spokane Valley website to view the full obituary.
Stephen Robertson, born December 5, 1938, in Oceanside, California, lived fully until February 25, 2026, in Spokane Valley, Washington. He lived a life defined by service, devotion, and a sharp sense of humor that kept everyone on their toes. A proud retired Sergeant with the Washington State Patrol, Stephen served the people of Washington state with integrity and grit for 28 years, always giving 100 % to the badge he wore and the community he protected.

At home, he was the steady heart of his family - a devoted husband of 67 years to the love of his life, Rosalie, proving that commitment isn't just a word but a daily choice. Together they built a legacy that includes six children Tracy, Troy, Todd (Ruth), Terill (Joe)Trent, and Trina, 7 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren,

all of whom will remember his generous spirit, work ethic, and calming presence.

Steve was a true do-it-yourself man who could fix, build, or craft just about anything. A gifted woodworker and an extraordinary qartist, his hands created treasures that will live on in the homes and hearts of those who love him.

He will be deeply missed, affectionately, remembered, and forever honored by the family and friends who were blessed to know him.

"Good bye cycle"… until we meet again.
