I posted memory last night about my relationship with Stephen but didn't leave my name.
May 30, 2019
I knew Stephen from 1st grade through 8th grade at NOA. We were best friends. We would go out to Rabbit Island, the 'Ponderosa', and take trips with his father over the summer to the sugar mills all over south La. Never forget eating at Sally's at Chef Menteur, which had the biggest french fries I have ever seen in my life!
So Sorry that we lost contact when I moved away to MS. Believe me when I tell you that my friends and family know who Stephen Bartlett is!

We had not seen Stephen since our move to North Carolina, but we have so many fun memories of our times with him. He was a wonderful man we all loved. If you were with him, you were having a great time. He gave all of himself to everything he did. Laura, your loss is unimaginable and we pray all your memories will bring you peace and strength. We love you.

Stephen was a great man, and a great friend. I have wonderful memories of Stephen first from as a child seeing my him and my Dad hang out and later getting to join into the his group of friends. I can still remember the excitement the first time I made the cut for a Lafitte-Ho trip. It exceeded my expectations. At my first Rebellaires ball, Stephen was the first person I told my now wife she had to meet. There was always a story from his regular LSU-Florida football trips he took with my Dad. Stephens humor and gregarious personality were only exceeded by his loyalty to his friends. I will miss him and prayers and condolences to his family.

Men of manresa :
After Stephens service Monday a couple of friends came up to me saying things like wonderful service but nothing about MANRESA I said it was mentioned in Obituary ( but not in eulogies). So here goes ........ at the 1993 Mayoki Barge party SB and i became Good friends. There we planned an Auburn vs LSU football trip with more mayoki couples. That lasted 25 years and still is limping around ( even thru SG birth , thanks dr Turner and hurricane Ivan ( thanks Halsteads ). That led to the greatest supper club of all time , IFD ( its Freaking dinner )
That has lasted 26 years and still going strong ( thanks Linda Lu and SB limping to each one recently with laura Ill at home , just to say hi to everyone and bring is dish )
The barge party meeting also led to my first trip with SB to MANRESA.
my favorite place on earth he would say. There , the first eeekend in May SB would go to speak to Jesus and get things right. To relax from work ( boy could he sleep and relax ). And he had a favorite place he spoke to his mom Mary The statue of Mother Mary
This is where some of his ashes will be buried ( thanks laura and Manresa )
SB and I ( and later Jim Steele and Bill Mertins ) would make this 4 hour pilgrimage every first full weekend in May. 4 days of Silence
Im going to take a break now from my great Manresa story ( mike Dickta , tom benson and snakes coming up ) Ill be back to be continued.... Jack

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Stephen. He was such a good and decent man with a fabulous sense of humor. He will be sorely missed by many. Never saw him without a smile on his face!

I am so sorry for your loss, Laura. I am just returning from overseas, and my father mentioned this to me last night. I am at a loss for words...
Stephen was one of my favorite people, from the many organizations we both served in. From Fiesta to Rebellaires, to the fishing trip in Lafitte, Stephen always treated me as an equal and gave me a chair at the "adult table", when I was in my mid 20's.
"Hey SB3, this is SB1" he used to say when he would call. I will forever cherish his memory and the time i was blessed to spend with him.
My heart breaks for you, but he will live on in the memories and LAUGHTER he created, for so many people.
With love -

Stephen was such a wonderful caring soul to all whom he met and won over with his winsome smile and Southern charm. From our first meeting him and Laura in our times with the Mayoki Indians, we became instant friends. We will miss him tremendously but know that we will meet again. Wonderful hearing from all yall ❤

Stephen - my dear - Im so glad to have known you! You brightened my day when at WFA where we would talk of New Orleans and LSU! I bought bbq sauce back from Buds Broiler so you could fancy up your burgers on the grill, play the slowest games of backgammon with one roll here n there, and you gave me LSU n carnival things while I got you the netting for the fishing camp painting. Im sure your spirit is free and jubilant! I remember the last time I saw you... and I might still look for you there.
Geaux Tigers! God bless you and hold you close ❤

Stephen married my best friend from college. That's he became my best friend by marriage. Stephen always had a smile and a kind word. I will forever treasure the times I spent with them both.. Rest in peace sweet soul!

Bartlett family, I am so sorry for your loss. Stephen was one of my earliest friends. We attended New Orleans Academy from first to fifth or sixth grade and were reunited as Friars at LSU. He was always upbeat and so generous. I still have and treasure a "Meet the Beatles" album he gave me for my birthday in fifth grade. Unfortunately I've probably not see him since college but he was always one I thought of first when recounting "the good old days". God bless you, Stephen.

I've known Stephen since I was at N.O.A. with him in 6th grade. Our dads were old friends from way back. His sister, Bonnie, was married to my late cousin, Ed Gay and was also a friend of my sister , Susie. This is such a shock. He was always such a cheerful and welcoming person. I'll always remember lunch at the Pensacola Country Club with Stephen, and having our shoes shined while we sat at the table in the Gents' Dining room in our stocking feet, so "Old School." I will miss him and always regret not making more of an effort to visit him more frequently after having myself moved to Florida. My last meeting was a few years back when we had a wonderful lunch together with another mutual friend and schoolmate, Jack Faulkner, from New Orleans. I used to keep up with Stephen's progress through his dinner club pal, Glenn Halstead, who I coincidentally used to call on for business. We're all gonna miss you a lot, Stephen. Rest in peace, Old Buddy.

A New Orleans friend from way back that sadly, I did not see enough of in recent years. I know he's now happily playing a hand of Gin Rummy and having a drink with his old friend "Pops" Vincent. Love to Laura.

Words can not express the sorrow and shock of losing such I wonderful person and friend. Stephen and Laura were on the court of 1991 Mayoki Indians with Jack and I. He never met a Stranger and always smiling and having fun. Even though we havent seen Laura and Stephen for awhile it doesnt mean that they havent been in our heart. RIP Stephen we love you.

We will miss this wonderful man. To be in his presence was to be in the prence of sunshine. He had a unique way of lifting your spirits and a way of making you feel included.

Too many great memories to pick just one or two...from IFD to LSU/Auburn, from Mayoki to Fiesta, from next door neighbors on the beach to mutually babysitting pets...love you Stephen and miss you more than I can say.
