Stephen S. Fistner, Whitehall, PA—The Whitehall community is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Stephen S. Fistner, a 53-year-old resident who lost his life in a heartbreaking incident on Friday, August 9, 2024. Stephen, known for his kind and loving nature, was cherished by his family, friends, and colleagues. His passing has left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
Stephen and his wife, Yesenia, were celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary when the tragic event unfolded. While out for a walk near the Spring Ridge Apartments, the couple encountered a woman whose car had been damaged. As they stopped to offer their help, a man drove directly toward them, causing fatal injuries to Stephen and severely injuring the woman. Yesenia, thanks to Stephen’s quick thinking, was pushed out of the path of the oncoming car and survived the attack.
Yesenia describes Stephen as a man with a big heart who was always ready to help others. This tragic incident has not only taken a loving husband from her but also the main provider for their family. Stephen worked diligently at Mack Trucks, where he was admired for his warmth and generosity. His colleagues, like San Sum, expressed their sorrow, saying, "He was a wonderful man with a big heart. This is absolutely heartbreaking, and those of us who worked with him will miss him so much."
The Whitehall community has rallied around Stephen’s family during this difficult time. A fundraiser organized by Jennifer Bowden has been set up to help cover funeral expenses and other costs associated with this unexpected tragedy. Out of the $4,000 goal, $1,175 has been raised so far, with donations coming from friends and well-wishers like Daniel Harden, Nora Reilly, and Anabel Rosario.
The outpouring of support on social media further highlights the impact Stephen had on those around him. Ramona Roberts sent prayers to the family, while Dorothea Ann Kulp expressed her sorrow, stating, "So very sad. RIP. That guy should spend the rest of his life in jail for destroying a family." Many others, like Susan Duffy-Marianni and Michael Conicelli, also shared their condolences.
Stephen’s wife, Yesenia, and her three boys, whom Stephen treated as his own, are now facing an uncertain future without him. This tragic loss has left them grieving deeply, and the community’s support has been a source of comfort during this incredibly challenging time.
We extend our deepest condolences to Stephen S. Fistner’s family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this painful journey of loss and remembrance.
