Stephen C. Sidner

June 19, 2021

Stephen C. Sidner, 79, passed away Tuesday, June 15, 2021, peacefully surrounded by those he loved dearly.

Born December 22, 1941, Steve grew up in a large family in Pensacola, FL. He excelled in school, graduating from PHS with honors; and was recognized on the Deans List in college several times. Steve served in the United States Army during Vietnam until he was medically discharged due to a ruptured appendix.

Steve married the love of his life, Evelyn in 1967. Their sons Steve and Scott followed quickly and the family continued their journey in Pensacola, where Steve worked in the construction industry. He was an iron worker by trade, and spent the last 30 years as a loyal employee to Specialty Contractors. At nearly 80 years old, Steve was known to outperform the younger guys, always taking pride in his abilities.

Steve loved fishing, enjoyed softball and was an avid league bowler at Felton Bowling Alley for years. Steve, known by most as “Pops”, was adopted by many thru the years as an honorary grandpa. Steve’s greatest joy in life was watching his grandchildren succeed. He rarely missed a baseball game, cheer competition, football game, swim meet or car race. Steve made sure he was there for those babies!

He was preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Margaret Sidner; and his adoring wife, Evelyn.

He is survived by his sons, Steve (Lynn) Sidner and Scott (Serena) Sidner, 10 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; two brothers; two sisters and a host of nieces and nephews.

Steve will be laid to rest beside Evelyn on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. at Mitchell’s Cemetery in Seminole, AL. Pallbearers will be

Dayton Sidner, Brandin Sidner, Camden Sidner, Easton Sidner, Falcon Sidner and Patrick Perdue.
