Stephen Bybee Obituary

Bybee, Stephen

Stephen Bybee, 79, lifelong Chicago resident, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2025. Beloved husband to Kathleen Bybee. Devoted father to William Bybee. Adoring son to the late Grace Bomberry. Cherished brother to James, William, Johanne, Hazel, John, Lois, Earl, Maxine, and Millie. He was also a caring uncle to many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Stephen loved his "Old-School" cars and going to car shows. He had a few he collected and even entered in the shows. He was a proud Chicago Firefighter for over 36 years; he really loved his job and helping people. Another one of his greatest joys and past times was spending time with his family and friends. Stephen will be deeply missed by all that knew him but never forgotten.
