Grand Junction Daily Sentinel page 6A - April 19, 2012
Steven McMullen was born on
April 15th, 1958, in Jacksonville,
Florida to parents, Samuel and
Pauline McMullen. The family
moved throughout the Midwest
when he was a child before settling
in Grand Junction.
Steve loved talking about working
at a dairy with his father when
he was a teenager. But his fondest
childhood memories were from spending summers in Ouray visiting
his Great Uncle Keith and Aunt Fran Johnson who lived in the
Dexter Creek House. He loved listening to the creek at night and
fishing in it during the day. His ties to Ouray can be traced back to
when his mom was a little girl growing up in Camp Bird. Steve developed
a lifelong love for the mountains at an early age.
Steve raised daughters, Jessica and Aubrey McMullen in Grand
Junction where he owned and operated Stemco Painting/Construction.
In 2002, Steve moved to Ouray with daughter, Aubrey after
building the first of eight specialty homes in town. He held a great
amount of pride in his hard work and craftsmanship and passed this
trade on to his daughter, Jessica. His hobbies included jeeping,
camping, grilling and traveling, even once surprising his daughters
by visiting them in Peru. Nothing made Steve happier than spending
time with his daughters. He openly welcomed all of their friends
and had a father-like love for many of them.
Steve is survived by both daughters and his sisters, Patricia Martison,
Michelle McMullen and Kathleen Duff. He will be greatly
missed by the entire community of Ouray.
A graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Thursday the 19th of
April at Cedar Hill Cemetery. A pot-luck celebration of life will be
held immediately following the service at the Duce residence. Anyone
who knew Steve, or knows Jessica or Aubrey is more than welcome
to come celebrate Steve's life.
Contributions can be made to the Steve McMullen Memorial Fund
at any Alpine Bank location.
