“In the Long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit,” - Anne Frank
Our beloved Stephen Lawrence Cianciolo, age 50, went home to be with the Lord on June 16, 2020. Devoted son of Leonard and Janet Cianciolo, loving brother of Judy Peddell, and Cindy Williams. Loyal friend and brother in law of David Williams Sr. Uncle extraordinaire of his five cherished nieces Brittany Donoghue, Chantalle Dolim, Melissa Peddell, Kiersten and Anna Williams, his only nephew David Williams Jr., two great-nieces Maci and Keira, and great nephew Cameron. Nephew of his cherished aunt and uncle, Emily and Jack Wenners. He also leaves behind his cat companion Toby.
Stephen was born in Arlington Mass, raised and educated in Marshfield schools and was a graduate of Marshfield High School class of 1987. Though school did not come easy to him, he had a deep love for learning and happily persevered through his challenges. He continued pressing on to achieve his college degree and was just two credits shy of reaching his life-long goal. He was often found pouring over books in the library or a bookstore. His favorite subjects were geography and history. His family and friends saw him as a walking book of knowledge. He enjoyed talking with others to gain an understanding of their interests and then took the time to share interesting facts with them. His mind was full of desire and a longing to learn on a wide array of topics and use this knowledge to motivate those he cared about most to achieve their ambitions. Stephen’s truly kind considerate character and acceptance of everyone he met made him a man of integrity; one many sought after as an example. He was a longtime resident of Florida, until he returned to Marshfield 2 years ago.
Our Precious Stephen will be greatly missed by all. Until we meet again. You will forever be in our hearts!
All family and friends will be invited to attend a Celebration of Life for Stephen on a future date.
Donations in his memory can be made to Anxiety and Depression association of America.
