Stephen Rose passed away suddenly at the age of 66 on Sunday, January 26, 2020. He was a native of Houston, Texas and a resident of Mandeville, Louisiana. Steve was the rock of our family. He had a very dry sense of humor. He adored his entire family, as that love was reflected back to him. He was Diane's cute neighbor who walked his dog, Bud, and that was the beginning of their story. They spent twenty cherished years together. He was an avid baseball fan with a special place in his heart for the Houston Astros. For the past several years, he attended the Astros spring training in Florida. He was an eternal student, always eager to expand his knowledge. Steve was the kind of man anyone could go to for advise, wisdom, and perspective. He was a man of the upmost integrity, who inspired those around him to live their life the right way. He was a proud student of Bellaire High Houston, University of Texas and University of Houston Law School. He spent many years thriving as a labor law attorney.
