Stephen Craig Neff

Stephen C. Neff, 57, of Standish ME passed away at his home on April 17 after several years of debilitating pain and suffering. Steve was born on March 7, 1955 in his beloved Shenandoah Valley in Woodstock, VA and grew up in Fishers Hill, VA. No one has ever loved where they were from like Steve. He loved to recall stories from his childhood days. Steve proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy in the Vietnam era and beyond being medically discharged in 1984 in Jacksonville, FL. He met his wife there in 1983 and moved his family in 1994 from Jacksonville to Maine where his wife grew up. He worked for the U.S. Postal Service for eight years until he could no longer work due to medical reasons. Steve used to love to bowl, fish, play horseshoes, camp, play cribbage, dance, and ride in his truck on the old country roads. He especially enjoyed his grandchildren and loved to watch his son DJ at the campground dances and other functions. He is predeceased by his father, Harry Neff [1985] and his mother, Betty Shacklett Neff [2009]. He is survived by his wife, Theresa [LeBorgne] Neff, and a son Steven R.
