Bradenton, Florida - Stephen Douglas Gibson, 74, passed away on October 17, 2020 in Bradenton, Florida where he resided with his wife, Janis.

Steve joined the Navy in 1965 and served on the USS Intrepid during the Vietnam War. He was honorably discharged in 1969.

He spent 34 years there and worked his way up from a cable splicer to a dispatcher and retired as a supervisor in 2006.
He was known for his warmth, kindness and sense of humor. He loved spending time with his family and meeting with friends over lunch, because he truly appreciated a good meal. He was a vintage car enthusiast and loved Corvettes. Steve was a friend to all and enemy to none -- he will be missed.
