Stephen J. Ratowski of Holland died peacefully surrounded by his loving and devoted family on Monday, April 1, 2019 at St. Mary Medical Center.  He was 67.

Born in Philadelphia, Stephen was the beloved husband of Barbara Barnett Ratowski and the son of the late Martin S. and Nora C. Madeja Ratowski.

Stephen was a hard working man who enjoyed his work and his ability to provide for his family and was also known to be a kind and caring person who often stopped on his busy route at Fed Ex to greet friends he made.  He was a good looking man with electrifying blue eyes who was a great father to all of his children.  He spent countless hours on developing the landscape and in the construction and care of his pond at his home.  Stephen was an avid reader, a fan of the vintage Star Wars Movies, and he was known to have a great sense of humor and a sarcastic wit.  Stephen will be greatly missed, but forever remembered and eternally loved by everyone who had the pleasure to have been in his life.

In addition to his wife Barbara, Stephen is survived by his loving children Kristen Ratowski, Alyssa Ratowski, and Stephen J. Ratowski and his wife Taylor.  He is also survived by his brother Martin Stanley Ratowski Jr., his step-children: Nicole Nicoletti and Ashley Nicoletti and her husband Evan Gases and his eight grandchildren Meghan, Gray, Tayte, Nico, Caleesi, Joey, Kayden, and Logan.
