On Thursday, January 11, 2024 God called Dr. Stephen Francis Kozak, an admired dentist, family man, and Navy veteran home at the age of 91.

Stephen is survived by his wife of 17 years, Kathleen, and the blended family they share of 5 children, 11 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.

He was also preceded in death by his beloved former wife, Loretta; loving parents, Joseph and Theresa Kozak; sister, Loraine Simhauser, brothers, Jerome and Daniel Kozak; and grandson, Austin Schwarz.

Stephen's Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Monday, January 22 at 11am at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church where he will repose one hour prior to Mass. His family will receive visitors Sunday, January 21 from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm at Beuschel Funeral Home in Comstock Park where a Rosary Service will be held Sunday at 7:30 pm.

It was Stephen's wish that in lieu of flowers, anyone desiring to make a memorial tribute do so in the form of a charitable donation to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church or School.
