Obituary of Steffan Lynn Willbanks

The world is a sadder place with the loss of our son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend Steffan who left this world on November 24, 2024. He will always be remembered for his quiet spirit, kind soul, and willingness to help a friend. He had a jovial spirit with a shy smile, and worried about those he cared about, always wanting the best for others. He loved classic cars and all animals, but especially his dogs, Thor and Moose. Born here in Texas County at Texas County Memorial Hospital, Steffan attended North County Technical College. He was a skilled cabinet maker, working in that field for many years in St. Louis before coming home to Licking to assist his mother Audrey and start a small auto business, N2Cars, utilizing his skills as a superb mechanic. Steffan is survived by his parents Audrey Hake and Jerry Willbanks; brothers, Greg and Terry Willbanks; cousins, Ladon and Edward Curran and Tammy Overall; nephews, Chance, Chris and wife Jayde Willbanks; and nieces, Cara, Ella and Hazel Willbanks; his best friend, Jeff Gaugh; and a special longtime friend, Julia Phillips. He is preceded in death by a baby sister, Katherine. A memorial service will be held at Fox Funeral home with details to be announced.
