Because of his strong work ethic, Stephen was soon respected in the community as a well as a renowned business man.
When Stephen wasn't working, he enjoyed his time with his family and friends. Watching the Florida Gators whenever they were on T.V., playing pool at his brothers Darren's house, or helping out his friends whenever he could. He was a straightforward, genuine man.... What you see is what you get. He was loyal to anyone; family or friends.
Stephen also loved the outdoors. If he didn't have a fishing pole in his hands on the boat, he was riding dirt bikes and four wheelers. Stephen just liked to have fun! He always seemed to see the brighter side of everything and always had a smile on his face.
Stephen is survived by his son, Cory Palmer, Bonnie Palmer, Mother, sister Rona Palmer, brothers; Scott and Darren Palmer, nieces; Alyx and Myan Palmer and nephew Dustin Palmer.
The family will memorialize his life in private.
