Stephen Stratis - Support for the Stratis Family

Early Tuesday morning, our beloved neighbor, Stephen Stratis, tragically lost his life in a senseless act of violence during the Old Keylime House Christmas party at the Rock Irish Pub. Stephen was a cherished member of our community, and his untimely passing has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who knew him.

Stephen was known for his warm heart, infectious smile, and the genuine kindness he showed to everyone he met. He was a veteran of the US Army. He was a son, brother, and friend who loved deeply. His family, especially his parents and three sisters, are devastated by this sudden loss. Among his sisters, one has autism, and the emotional and financial strain on the family is significant.

As they grapple with this unimaginable tragedy, we want to offer them some support during this incredibly difficult time. The Stratis family is now faced with the heartbreaking task of laying Stephen to rest, and they need our help. The funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to covering funeral expenses and assisting with any other immediate needs the family may have as they navigate through their grief.

Stephen’s family and friends are comforted by the outpouring of love and support they have received, but we know that this journey will be long, and the road ahead will not be easy. By contributing to this campaign, you will help lift some of the financial burden off their shoulders, allowing them to focus on healing and honoring Stephen's memory.

If you are able to donate, whether it be a small or larger amount, your generosity will make a significant impact. Every contribution, prayer, and thoughtful message is deeply appreciated.

Stephen’s legacy of kindness and love will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him. Let’s come together to support his family as they navigate this difficult chapter of their lives.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support during this heartbreaking time.
