Stephen was born on June 17, 1986, in Shawano to Curtis and Virginia (Caldwell) Crow, Jr. He graduated from Menominee High School.

He was an athletic person, a joking and kidding around kind of guy, loved to cook and held many positions as a chef. Stephen's favorite holiday was Halloween, he was a creative type of person which helped him win a few contests. He cared so much about other people and his heart was so caring for all he knew. Stephen's world was his children, he was an amazing father to them. He had a clear sense of his family's safety, as well as his friends. Stephen will be truly missed by everyone that knew him.
