Stephen Patrick Pilon, 64, of Salisbury Township, Pennsylvania, passed away unexpectedly in the early hours of Monday, March 30, 2026.

Born on June 22, 1961, in Saginaw, Michigan, and raised in Bay City, “Stevie” carried the steadiness of Michigan with him everywhere he went — including to Allentown, where he put down roots in his twenties and built a life that was, by every measure, a life well-built.

A proud union carpenter, Stephen was a man who worked with his hands and meant everything he made. He brought that same craftsmanship to fatherhood, to friendship, and to every room he walked into. He loved hard, laughed easily, and had the kind of big personality that made people lean in. Whether he was on a job site or at a family gathering, Stephen Pilon was the kind of man you remembered.

Outside of work, Stephen’s world had a soundtrack — classic rock, loud and unapologetic, the way he liked it. He had retired, and among the dreams for retirement, he and his beloved wife Donna had begun to plan a long-awaited road trip through the Midwest, back to the space where it all began. That dream, like this man himself, will not be forgotten.

Stephen is survived by his wife of many years, Donna G. Pilon (née Huebner); his daughter, Danielle M. Pilon; his sons, Donald J. Pilon and his wife Caitlin, and Patrick S. Pilon and his companion Carrie Schwerman; his grandchildren, Elijah M. Pilon, Isaac T. Singles, Logan S. Pilon, and Olivia R. Pilon; and his brothers, Michael S. Pilon and his wife Linda, John M. Pilon and his wife Joy, and Joe Pilon and his wife Joann as well as his mother and father-in- law, John and Barbara Huebner.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Robin Yax; his mother, Rita Vurdures; and his father, Donald J. Pilon.

Stephen Patrick Pilon was a carpenter, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a brother and a son-in-law.

He built things that lasted. He was one of them.

Services: A memorial service will be held at 11 AM on Monday, April 6, 2026 in the Bethel Bible Fellowship Church, 418 Elm Street, Emmaus, PA 18049. A visitation will be held from 9 AM until the time of the service in the church. Arrangements are entrusted to the K.V. Knopp Funeral Home, Allentown.

Contributions: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Stevie to the church or the family invites you to use the “Plant Trees” option directly next to his obituary on the funeral home website in support of the Arbor Day Foundation.
