Cherished grandpa of Novily and Evrett Anfinson; and Lyilee Jackson. Dear brother of Tim (Jill) Jeka, Roberta (Tom) Steuber, Dave (Stephanie) Jeka and Juliet (the late Ken) Wielichowski. Treasured friend and former spouse of Karen Jeka. Adored uncle of Allie and Lauren Jeka, Josh and Alex Steuber and Amanda Wielichowski. Preceded in death by his parents Frank and Audrey Jeka. Further survived by other family members and friends.
Stephan was known for his love of cars, especially fast cars. Although the work of an auto mechanic took a toll on him, there was no doubt he was one of the best. As early as high school, Stephan was the person to go to when they needed help with their cars. He worked with cars the majority of his life. In addition to his love for cars, Stephan was a very social person and made friends wherever he went. He took part in other hobbies such as darts and pool leagues and he was sharp on his game in those games as well. In addition, he loved to cook and bake.
It didn't ever take much to make Stephan happy. One thing that anyone who knew him could agree on is that he always had a smile on his face. He was always so positive. No matter what life threw his way, he was not a quitter. His health dwindled over the last few years, but anyone who talked to him regularly will remember his optimism.
Stephan loved his family and friends and loved sharing stories. He will forever be known for the big heart he had.
