Stephen Urie Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by A.W. Rich Funeral Home - Fairfax on Jan. 2, 2026.
Stephen Urie, 77, of Vermont, passed away peacefully on December 23, 2025, at UVM Medical Center.

Stephen was born on April 23, 1948, at Newport Hospital in Newport, Vermont, to the late Clarence Urie and Vivian Urie (Hammond). He graduated from Barton Academy in 1966 and went on to spend his life doing what he loved-driving truck. Stephen was a lifelong truck driver who owned and operated his own business, Urie Trucking, for many years. Later in his career, he drove for Pike, Carroll Concrete, MBI, and McDermott's.

Outside of work, Stephen found joy in the simple things. He loved playing guitar at home with his daughter and was part of several rock and roll bands throughout his life, playing the bass guitar. He enjoyed having coffee with his buddies on Tuesday mornings, mowing his lawn, tinkering on cars, eating Oreos, and, most of all, spending time with his family.

Stephen was predeceased by his parents; his brother, David Urie; and Doris Ryan, the mother of his daughter Chelsea.

He is survived by his daughters Chelsea Urie and her partner Olivia Lacoss, and Mari-Jo Urie; his former son-in-law Peter Judd; his grandchildren Kyle Judd and Jazmine Judd; his sister Gail Palmer; his brother Gary Urie and his wife Donna Urie; his stepdaughters Miranda Ryan, Ashley Ryan, and Katina Huntington, as well as their children; and many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date.
