Mr. Stephen Patrick Colburn, 71, of Oak Tree Drive, Mocksville, died Friday, Aug. 2, 2024 at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston Salem.

He was born on Sept.2, 1952 in Davies County, Ky. to the late Wilburt Colburn and the late Mary Stringer Colburn Dunn.

Steve retired from Sparks Contracting in Clemmons and his career highlights include participating in the construction of the new I40 in Winston Salem and the construction of Truist Field, home of the Dash. He was a hard worker who would help anyone at any time and would never ask for anything in return. He was “Grampy” to his grandchildren, whom he loved dearly and ended every phone or text conversation with his trademark “Love You Byeeee”.  Steve was an avid supporter and participant in the NC Clean Sweep program and was known for setting up for Sunday School at the lake. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by 2 brothers, Bryan and Gary Colburn.

Survivors include: his daughter, Christine Colburn Diamond of Kentucky; 4 grandchildren, Destiney Greer, Zoey Hillard (Trent), Tala Diamond, and Fabian Diamond; a great-grandson, Jasper Hillard; 5 siblings, Shelia Short, Jean Payne (Larry), Mike Colburn, Joe Colburn (Lois), all of Kentucky, and Bob Colburn (Patsy), of Michigan; his “lake brothers”, Bob, Johnny, Odie, and Mike; his “lake son”, Addison Johnson: and several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be conducted at a later date at Humphreys Ridge Church at Belews Lake.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to all his lake family and the Humphreys Ridge Church family for all of the love that they have shared throughout his life.
