Stephen Eugene Becker, 29

Stephen Eugene Becker, 'went home to God' on June 24, 2006.

Stephen was born Jan. 12, 1977, in Kalispell.

He is survived by his mother, Patricia Scholz, stepfather, Joseph Probert; and his siblings, Mike Becker, Tony Probert, Cathleen Becker, Matt and Angela Becker, and Margo and Bruce Lella; his grandparents, Marie Lyski and Barbara Scholz; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Stephen was a humble man with a huge heart. He was never hesitant to lend a helping hand to someone in need. He was always kind to those he encountered.

Stephen was a passionate poet, songwriter, musician and artist.

'Some people are born to be like planets. Stephen was born to be like a comet. His time was swift. His light was brilliant. And his presence an everlasting inspiration. Stephen, we will miss you. Let the heavens be your stage. And the angels be your audience.'

Services will be held at 3 p.m. today, July 1, at the Scholz family home.
