Stephen Simpson Obituary
Born April 3, 1948, in Charlotte, Michigan passed away on March 12, 2026, in White Cloud, Michigan at the age of 77.
Stephen (Steve, Big Steve or Pops) was born on April 3, 1948, in Charlotte, Michigan to Ernest Simpson and Ruth Bentley. He is survived by his older sister Barbara King, younger sister Janette (husband Jim) Christy, son Stephen Simpson, Jr. (wife Naomi), grandson Julian, and granddaughter Ryan.
Stephen spent many years in the Lansing area. He graduated from Lansing Eastern High School and went to work at the Lansing Board of Water and Light. During that time, he also served as union representative and union president of IBEW Local 352. Stephen enjoyed the outdoors and frequented his camp property in White Cloud, Michigan. Stephen had a strong appreciation for music, especially enjoying watching his son play drums in his band and they frequently attended concerts together. He was a year-round sportsman who enjoyed fishing, turkey hunting, and deer hunting. Upon his retirement from the Board of Water and Light, he permanently moved to the White Cloud area and enjoyed some of his favorite hunting experiences with his nephew Wayne King.
The family will hold a celebration of life in the near future, to be announced at a later time.
