He graduated from Jay High School and Kennebec Valley Tech with honors.His career as a carpenter, cabinet maker, and master craftsman led him to meet many wonderful friends at his well-respected Oboyshop. Stephen donated his time and pieces of fine furniture to worthy causes and was noted for his roll-top desks. He loved helping others with remodeling projects.

A long time paperboy, Stephen delivered the Sun Journal with his older brother, David, for over 20 years. He said his favorite job was gravedigging as a teenager with his cousin, Vinnie.

Stephen is survived by Jacelyn Newcomb; brother, David, and Phyllis; David’s sons, Ray and Matt and Matt’s wife, Jody Moreau; several nieces, nephews and many loving cousins. He will be missed by his friends, Al and Tammy, Brandie, Nickie, Elaine, Brenda, Tasha and his little angels, Zoey, Sage and Logan.
