Additionally, Stephen was a loving great-grandfather to Millie Rankin, Liam Rankin, Rhett Rankin, and Barrett Rankin. He is also survived by his brother, Barry Solomon (Charlie).

Stephen had a zest for life that saw him embracing various hobbies and interests. He found much joy in riding Harley Davidson Motorcycles and had a knack for collecting guns and pocketknives. These pursuits exemplified his adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors.
