William Thomas Stebor was born on February 4, 1948, in Warroad, MN to Walter and Delores (Lettengarver) Stebor. Throughout his life, Bill was a dedicated and loving husband, his passion for adventure and experiencing new places was only matched by his love for his wife, Carol. They were a team, always by each other's side, creating countless memories during their travels together. Bill's love for thrills and excitement was also evident in his love for NHRA drag racing. He would often spend weekends at the racetrack, cheering on his favorite drivers and soaking in the adrenaline rush of the sport. But his love for sports didn't end there - he was a dedicated fan of the Minnesota Vikings and enjoyed hockey and attending baseball games with Carol.
Despite his love for travel and sports, Bill also had a deep appreciation of nature and spent much of his free time outdoors. Whether it was fishing, camping, or simply relaxing in a chair enjoying a cigar, he found solace and joy in the simplicity of the great outdoors.
Bill's dedication to his career was also a part of his identity. He worked for Target for most of his professional life, starting in Minnesota and eventually relocating to California. He was a hard worker and took great pride in his job, always striving to do his best and provide for his family.
But above all, Bill's greatest joy in life was his family. He was a devoted husband of 40 years, father, grandfather, and uncle who cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. He was a pillar of strength and support for his family and was always there to offer a helping hand or give guidance and advice when needed.
His passing has left a void in the hearts of all who knew him. He joins his beloved wife Carol, whom he lost just weeks before his own passing. But his legacy of love, adventure, and dedication will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched. Bill will be remembered for his infectious laughter, his kind heart, and his unwavering love for his family and friends. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
He is survived by sons: Troy (Shelly) and Scott (Denise); daughter Stacey (Tim) Miller; sisters: Carol Barger, Linda Stebor (Kristi), Joann (Kevin) Miller and Diane Mudgett; 10 grandchildren; two great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews with their children and Carol's siblings: Bruce (Diane) Melby, Curt (Mary) Melby, and Lorna (Craig) Otto and Pam Melby.
He was preceded in death by parents Walter Thomas Stebor and DeLores Stebor (Lettengarver), wife Carol Jeanne Stebor (Melby) and brother Gary Stebor.
