In Memory of Stephen Charles Petrillo

Stephen Charles was a beautiful son, brother, grandson, nephew, friend, and person. He was extremely brilliant, an amazing artist, and a tremendous writer, who loved creating movie scripts and writing short films. With a spicy margarita in hand, he loved watching scary movies and reading books. Always a text message away, he would go to work on his day off because he was a thoughtful manager who cared for his employees. If he wasn’t swimming his laps at the pool, he would be dancing to Britney Spears or belting out to Lady Gaga. He was an incredible son and an amazing big brother. Stephen passed away on Saturday, March 18th, after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest while doing what he loved, swimming.

Known for his beautiful and generous big heart, Stephen Charles had a selfless desire to donate his organs and his heart continues to live on.

Instead of flowers, his family hopes to raise money in Stephen’s name for St. Catherine’s Hospital, ICU Unit, where the medical staff worked feverishly to restore his health but were sadly unsuccessful.
