Stephen Torpy Obituary

Steve Torpy, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away surrounded by the family he loved most.

Steve shared nearly 50 wonderful years with his wife, Susan Torpy. Their marriage was the foundation of the family they built together.

A hardworking and respected arborist, Steve was the proud owner of Torpy Tree Service. He loved his work, took pride in caring for trees, and was known for his strong work ethic and dedication to helping others.

Steve was a proud father to his children Kara and Justin. He was also the best Papa to Tyler, Lennon, and Liam, who brought him tremendous joy.

Steve will be remembered for his generous heart, his loyalty to family, and the many lives he touched through his kindness and hard work.

Services

Visitation will be held Sunday from 5:00 to 7:00 PM with a vigil at 7:00 PM at Heafey Hoffmann Mortuary.

Funeral Mass will be held Monday at 10:30 AM at Christ the King Catholic Church, with a luncheon to follow.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are preferred to his grandchildren's education fund, as Steve always believed in supporting his grandchildren's future. Donations may be made through Venmo at @KaraTorpy.

Steve Torpy, a kind, generous, strong, loving family man. To me he was a man of few words but when he spoke to me I listened, and I learned from what he had to say. I had alot of respect for Steve. Well you kinda had to. Lol. I remember working with him n J back in the early 2000's plowing snow at the apartments off Maple street. Man that was alot of fun. Going and having breakfast at Village Inn with the Denali crew. Dude Im gonna miss ol Steve. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Sue. Kara. Justin. Liam.- Much Love From the Recek Fam- McKinley *Joe*Bernie*LuAnn

Sue and the Torpy family ... We were so saddened to hear about Steve's passing. We have many memories from our time in Omaha at Rugby matches, trips and other shenanigans. Steve was a salt of the earth man with a beautiful family and wonderful friends. May your memories be a blessing.

One of my greatest memories of Steve is how proud he was at the family reunion at Mahoney State Park of his red Corvette! He enjoyed showing it to everyone. Deepest Sympathy! Rose

Steve was a fierce competitor on the rugby field and the life of every party off it. The memories we shared-on and off the field-will always remind us of the laughter, friendship, and great times we were lucky enough to have shared.

"Today we remember my great friend Stephen Torpy. They were the kind of person who showed up when it mattered and made life better just by being part of it. Their loyalty, humor, and big heart touched more lives than they probably ever realized. The world lost a truly good soul, but the memories and friendships they created will live on forever. Rest in peace, my friend - you will always be remembered."
