Stephen led a passionate and accomplished life. Born in Derry, New Hampshire, and raised in Bolton, Massachusetts, Stephen was a proud Eagle Scout. His adventurous spirit brought him to the University of North Texas, where he attained bachelor’s degrees in political science and marketing, followed by an MS in Financial Accounting at SNHU. Stephen was most recently residing in Loveland, where he was a top-performing Regional Sales Manager for Animal Health, International.

To know Stephen was to love him. He was caring and thoughtful, appreciative and generous. He loved spending time with his family and friends, and often helped those around him in small ways, never expecting anything in return. His gift of gab was infectious and entertaining to everyone around him. No topic was beyond his scope of knowledge. He was literally and figuratively larger than life. He will be deeply missed.

Stephen is survived by his loving mother, Kathaleen Alexander of Bolton, Massachusetts, and her partner, Michael Carusi; his dear sister, Elizabeth MacDowell of Andover, Massachusetts; uncle, Dr. Albert Alexander of Somers, Connecticut; his aunts and uncles, Peg and John Campbell of Andover, Massachusetts, John and Penny Alexander of Dadeville, Alabama, and Robert and Lyn Stapf of Voorheesville, New York; his former wife, Cierra Geer of Midland, Texas; along with numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, Stanley J. Withkowski.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Stephen’s name to the Boy Scouts of America Greater Colorado Council (www.scoutingcolorado. org) or the Diabetes Foundation (www.diabetesfoundationinc. org).

A private service with close family members will be planned soon.
