Stan Stephens
Stan Stephens passed away on April 3, 2021, in Kalispell, Montana, following an extended period of declining health. He was 91 years old. He was born September 16, 1929, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Margaret and Joseph Stephens, immigrants from Scotland and England. He was the second-oldest of five remarkable boys. He grew up in a loving and musically gifted family, learning from his father to master the trumpet at an early age. By age 7, Stan was playing trumpet solos in the Calgary Symphony. Later, he played in small ensembles, musical productions, dance bands and jazz bands. Music was a life-long passion to him, and he savored listening to a well-done performance as much as he enjoyed performing.
