He was a dedicated insurance professional for fifteen years, working with both national and regional insurance brokers. His career was augmented by a warm smile and a charming personality that filled the room wherever he went. Steve was a consummate sports fan. He enjoyed playing golf, lacrosse, biking and running.

He was an avid U of M and Detroit Lions fan, always ending his texts with “Go Blue”. It wasn’t uncommon to be greeted by Stephen with a hug and a funny quote from a movie that would make you break out in laughter. His sense of humor was contagious.

Faith and Family were the focus of Stephen’s life. Left behind to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Lindsey;

their two precious daughters, Delia (4) and Violet (2), whom he adored.

He had many lifetime friends even going back to kindergarten.

He will always be loved and cherished by his parents, John and Katharine Racine; sisters, Lisa (Scott) Burau, Angela (Michael) Blondin, Karen (Todd) Pietras, Monica Racine, Christina (Steve) Toth, Cheryl (Cort) Niemi and brother, Michael Racine; 27 nieces and nephews; 6 great-nieces and nephews; several aunts, uncles and many cousins.

Lloyd and Bea Racine, Dominic and Betty Militello; his aunt, Michele Racine; uncles, Tom Racine and Jim Militello.
