Stephen DiCarlo Obituary
Stephen Joseph DiCarlo SR. (Age 69)
Of Keysville VA, passed away on May 27, 2021. Steve is survived by his three children, their spouses, and two grandchildren. Born May 21,1952, and raised in Berwyn Heights, MD, Steve was a 1970 graduate of High Point High, and a Maryland State wrestling champion. Makes sense, he was stubborn and strong and never one to turn down a fight. Literally.
Steve was a commercial electrician in the DC-area for over 30 years; a proud Union man and member of the IBEW Local 26 who also taught apprenticeship. He was sharp as a tack and mean as a whip. He was brutally honest and the goofiest guy you ever knew. He had almost no gray in his long jet-black ponytail. He loved living far away from everyone and everything. He played basketball with his buddies on Wednesday nights for over 30 years. He loved his dogs, cats, and "hawses". His passion was re-enacting the "War of Northern Aggression". The statues coming down all over America last year couldn't have helped his ticker.
We lost time with our father after our parents divorced, but found some again as we got much older. For that we are thankful. We have great childhood memories: tractor rides, go-carts, Johnny Reb fireworks, dippin' eggs and dirt igloos, bb guns and bonfires, rolling gunpowder cartridges, driving to Daytona Beach, DIY tarp slip-n-slides, sledding down "Suicide Hill" (once and only once). He loved being a dad when we were younger. We love and miss you very much Old Man (we know you hated that.) A celebration of life was held last June.
He is also survived by a second wife and a sister.

I knew Steve from High Point high school, we shared a few classes during our senior year, 1969 - 1970. Steve and his teammate, Dave Strauss, were probably the the two greatest wrestlers in High Point history. He was so darn grounded and a really nice guy. I am so glad we crossed paths in our lifetime - RIP.
