Stephen was born to William Harold and Lydia Bell Toadvine Brittingham on June 11th, 1949, in Lewes, Delaware. He grew up on Lewes Beach and loved spending his summers on the Delaware Bay. He could be found always helping others whether it be on the beach or in the water. He could be seen towing a disabled boat or saving some young sailors who got stranded due to a storm coming up quickly.
He attended Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Virginia. He returned home to Lewes for high school and while there he enjoyed playing football. He graduated from Lewes High School, Class of 1968.
Stephen went to college in Madison, Wisconsin and graduated with an associates degree in marketing. Upon his return he went to work with his dad to help run Brittingham Enterprises. After moving to Vero Beach Florida, Stephen found employment with Indian River County in the Solid Waste Control District. He retired as a foreman at the IRC Landfill.
Survivors include his loving wife of 31 years, Robin H. Brittingham; grandchildren, Julian Yournett, Camron Yournett, and Angelina Yournett; sister, Sara Catherine Bakehorn; and several nieces and nephews.
He was pre-deceased by his parents; father, William Harold Brittingham, mother, Lydia Bell Toadvine Brittingham, and sister, Mary Alice Conrad.
There was never a job too big or too small that Stephen couldn’t conquer, and he would do so with a big smile. He was the one everyone went to when they needed something done. A jack of all trades and respected by all, Stephen will greatly be missed.
Services will be held by the family at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to VNA Hospice, 1110 35th Lane, Vero Beach, FL 32960.
