Stephen Michael Hoeck

Stephen Michael Hoeck, age 28, of Woodstock, passed away on August 17, 2026. He was a beloved son who will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew and loved him. He had a big heart, big dreams, and a genuine appreciation for the simple things in life. Behind his smile was a deeply troubled mind that often made life incredibly difficult for him. He fought battles that many people could not see, and those who loved him will always wish they could have carried some of that burden for him. He leaves behind a family who loved him deeply and who will carry his memory in their hearts forever. His life was far more than the struggles he faced. He was a son, a brother, a nephew and a cousin to our family, and someone whose infrequent presence mattered so deeply. The memories of the laughter, the dreams, the conversations, and the time we shared will remain with us always. He will be loved, remembered, and missed every day. No words can express how much he meant to us.
