Stephen C. Cotton

With great sadness, we announce the death of Stephen Christopher Cotton of Northern Kentucky, who passed away on February 15, 2024.

Stephen was born in Cincinnati in 1981 to Wanda P Cotton and Robin T Cotton.  As a youngster, besides playing most sports (especially soccer), he was quite an accomplished young magician, and would be popular at birthday parties and other gatherings showing off his various tricks.  Learning to cook at an early age, he became a wonderful chef and enjoyed hosting family and friends for meals over the years.  He attended Walnut Hills High School, and graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in Aviation Management, and later with an MBA from University of Cincinnati before embarking on his career path in Cincinnati, Texas, and Kentucky.   His love of his animals led him to be a longtime volunteer for the ASPCA.

Stephen was preceded in death by his grandparents, Aldean (Werner) and Hugh Price, and Elizabeth Cotton.  He will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Wanda P Cotton, his father, Robin T Cotton (Cindi), his son, Britain Bryant Cotton, and his siblings, Lewis Brown, Sally Genoe (Allen), Susan Linville (Bill), Sian Cotton (Brian Riker), Stephanie Zacharias (BJ), and Colin Cotton (Courtney), and his several nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles and cousins.  His fun and caring personality attracted many life-long friends.

Family and friends are invited to Visitation on Wednesday, February 21st, 11:00 am - 1:00pm at Dalbert, Woodruff & Isenogle Funeral Home, 2880 Boudinot Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45238.
