Stephen "Pony" Doane

January 26, 1986 – December 21, 2012

Stephen Christopher Doane, 26, passed away suddenly in a tragic auto accident on October 21, 2012. He was on his way to church (House of Prayer) where he was a youth leader, but ended up in Heaven.

As an only child, he was dedicated to the youth and loved children. Stephen’s beautiful eyes and smile, coupled with the exemplary way he lived his life, were a blessing and inspiration to so many people – young and old, rich and poor. He loved the Lord with all his being and it exuded through his sincere compassion and loving spirt towards others.

His bucket list and small goals were discovered on his phone and as a mother I was taken back upon the discovery. There were three small goals consisting of “love on people, get out of debt and bless those who wrong me” and one of his bucket list desires was to preach on every continent. That pretty much sums up what and who Stephen was as a person. He was so loving and was so loved by so many people who miss him tremendously every day.
