Stephen Carroll Fox-Helser

It was an honor to get to know Stephen and to work for him and alongside him the past couple years. He was a truly unique, wild, mischievous individual – full of life and zeal and unlike any person I’ve met before. I know he took great pride in his family and friends and I’m grateful to consider myself a small part of that group of folks. I will miss his pranks and his outside-the-box way of thinking. And I will think of him often. Love to his family in their time of grieving and healing.

It is almost impossible to imagine Stephen gone from us. Our friendship wasn’t long but it was instantaneous. We never tired of talking. We shared the same love of fishing, carpentry, building things. He was a fella with tremendous faith and inner strength. We fished together his last months on Edisto Island where I live. I could go on and on about the respect and admiration I had for Stephen. The time was cut so short on our friendship. I say to Stephen Fly High my dear friend. I will never hold my fishing rod again that you are not right there

I’m saddened to hear of Stephen’s passing. We spent many years together at JIRDC. He was truly one of a kind. Prayers of comfort for his wife, children and grandchildren.
