Kenneth "Bo" Stephenson, 61 of Woodland California passed away on October 12, 2025, after a courageous, yet short, battle with cancer.
He was a retired police officer who took great pride in serving the community he worked in. Known for his commanding presence and quick wit, he had a way of taking over a room and leaving an impression on everyone he met. To many, he was larger than life — strong in personality, loyal to those he loved, and proud of the life he built.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Nancy Stephenson; his brothers, Stevie, Joe and Benji; and his beloved son, Braden.
He is survived by his wife, Stacie; his children Tatiana (David), Brody and Brock; his stepchildren Breann and Kylie (Joe), his grandchildren Blue, Ryan and Gracie, his brother, Charley, goddaughter Mikali and countless nieces and nephews. He will also be remembered by extended family, friends, and those whose lives he touched throughout his years of service.
Though life’s paths were not always even, those who knew him will remember his courage, humor, and the mark he left behind. He was a father, a friend, and a man who lived life on his own terms.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, October 21, at 12 p.m. at the Woodland Cemetery, 800 West St. Woodland, CA.
