Stephen was born on June 9, 1993 in Kharokova, near Donetsk, Ukraine and was a resident of South Louisiana. He was adopted from an orphanage in Ukraine along with his brother Robert. He was Veteran of U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Lewis in Washington State. Stephen was an excellent mechanic having graduated from SLCC in the Aircraft Maintenance Program in May of 2018, after receiving an Automobile Mechanic Certification in 2015. Stephen was a kind and gentle spirit. He was always polite and helpful to strangers and was willing to assist anyone in need. The deep sorrow of his brother’s death in 2019 dominated his last days.
