Stephen Marlo Brody, 63, of Rockaway Beach, Missouri, passed away on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2019, while in hospice care after a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer. He went peacefully with his loved ones by his side.

Stephen was born on Sept. 9, 1956, in Waterloo, Iowa, to Joseph and Donna Brody. The oldest of five, he was involved in many activities, including Boy Scouts of America, eventually becoming an Eagle Scout, wrestling, football and church activities. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and was baptized in 1971. Stephen graduated from Austin High School in Austin, Minnesota, in 1975 and received a wrestling scholarship to Augustana College in Souix Falls, South Dakota, that year. Along with spending time with his children and grandchildren, Steve had a passion for nature, sports, collecting, and bringing joy to others. He had a bright energetic personality and was known for being the first to volunteer a helping hand. He knew no stranger, he knew no hate, and he knew no fear. He touched many with his generosity, love for Christ, and passion for helping others.
