Steven Kingston passed away on July 17, surrounded by the love of his family.
Steven was a devoted and beloved husband, father, “Papa” and brother. Steven was born on July 8, 1957, in London, England, to Maurice and Evelyn Kingston. He lived his life with selflessness, humility and a spark of quick wit that never dimmed. Always ready with a joke or a clever remark, he had a gift for making people laugh even in the hardest moments. His sense of humor brought joy and comfort to so many, and his warmth made everyone feel welcome.
Above all, Steven cared deeply about family. He showed up for the big moments, and the small ones, with unwavering love and support. He was a steady presence, a voice of reason and a heart full of kindness.
In recent months, Steven was committed to improving his health and staying strong for himself and for those he loved. That strength and determination will always be a part of how we remember him.
Though heartbroken, his family is at peace knowing that his spirit will live on through the wisdom he shared, the care he gave and the genuine kindness he extended to everyone he met.
Steven is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Tamara; sons Benjamin (Belén) and Marc (Kate); grandchildren Savannah, Brady Jaros and Everett; sister, Linda Sluys; brother, David Kingston; and his “fur-grandsons” Troy and Wilbur.
Funeral services were held on July 20 at Kehilath Israel Blue Ridge Cemetery, followed by burial there. May his memory be for a blessing, and may his soul be bound in the bond of eternal life.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Steven’s name to the American Stroke Foundation (americanstroke.org/donate) or to Kehilath Israel Synagogue (10501 Conser, Overland Park, KS 66212).
