Stephen had a warm smile, a quick wit, a love of food, Phish and the outdoors. He brought fun into the world and was filled with a generosity of spirit.

Born June 8th, 1973, to Harry and Eleanor DiDonato, Stephen was a Philadelphian through and through, proud of his city and sports teams foremost the Philadelphia Eagles — a team he followed faithfully through every high and low. Sundays were sacred, filled with hope, heartbreak, and endless belief in the green and white.

Stephen is survived by his son Patrick, mother Eleanor, sisters Karen (Christopher), Christine and Elizabeth (Donald), brothers Harry (Cristy) and Brian (Pamela), his loyal partner Brooke and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Harry P. DiDonato.
