Stephen Larkin Faust was born in Banning California on December 19th, 1978 to his parents; the now late Steve Leroy Faust ,and his wife Mary Faust. Stephen spent a good chunk of his life living in Southern California, In 1980, Little Steve and his parents were all blessed another little one; his little sister Stephanie. With there full family in tow it was time that they started looking for sometghing a little bit bigger, They then moved into a larger house in Moreno Valley California. Mary, Stephens mother ran a day care center in the grarage (convorted into a play room by Stephens father). Mary thought this of an excellent way as to be able to spend time with Stephen and Stephanie and still make money while she is at it. Stephen had always been very smart. He repeatedly got better grades than his little sister Stephanie no matter how hard she tried. Stephen was accepted into a program called GATE, (Gifted And Talented Education) The closest his sister ever came to being like her brother was when she was one of the 8 spelling bee finailists in her middle school. In 1991, Stephens parents were divorced but were planning on reuniting. This never happened because Steve's boss at his work introduced him to a real witch named April Porter. So Stephens parents did not wind up reconciling and and he now had a real wench for a step-mother. This was just the beginning of life long disappointments which lead to an ogoing depression. Stephen went to go live with his father and his little sister Stephanie went to go live with their mother. Stephanie went to go visit Stephen and her father almost every weekend. This went on for atleast three years until Stephen was 16 and Stephanie was 14. Their mother Mary thought she needed a change in atmosphere and the air in california was not getting any better. After having just won a huge sexual harrassent lawsuit (which also was a contributor to his parents divorce)... Stephens mother mary has the resources to get out of the area and quick. Mary Faust, Stephen L. Faust and his little sister Stephanie Faust all moved from Califoria to the state of Missouri in the year 1994. This was a complete and total culture shock to both of the children coming from a school in a big city to a school in a small town. Stephen and his sister Stephanie automatically hated their new school Bolivar High School. There were too many jerks there. Stephen was accepted a lot quicker than Stephanie. That was the thing about Stephen, he could get along with anyone. People always sensed that everything was zen with Stephen. He went to Bolivar High school in his long trench coat and his guitar in tow, he was an automatic chick magnic. Girls would pretend they wanted to be friends with me so that they could get to stay the night and hang out with Stephen instead. Yes. I was used so girls could get to my brother but that is ok. He repaid me by introducing me to his guy friends so it was all good. Another good thing about having a sibling only 18 months older than you... :) He was a wonderful protector of his little sister too. Although people were nice to Stephen, they weren't too nice to his sister. He cared more about his sister than he did about fitting in. So he would insult people who had always been nice to him all because they were making fun of his little sister.  There was a time where Stephen was playing basktball with a couple of the "cool kids", and his little sister walked onto the court to ask if she could play too. One of the "cool kids" said "sorry...no losers allowed on the court!". So then Stephen said to him "is that the only rule?" then the cool kid said "yes pretty much that is the only rule". Then Steve said something to him I will always remember..." well geez dude you only have one rule and you can't even follow it. Then Stephen threw the basketball at that jerk so fast and with so much force in darn near knocked the air out of him. He then proceeded to leave the court with his sister right behind him while saying "come on steph...we don't need these judgemental jerks around us!". My brother was so awesome. His family always came first. He became my best friend that day cause fromt then on we did everything together. Stephen got his car and began taking himself and me to school and home.  Stephen enjoyed going to visit the family that we had moved to Missouri to get to meet and get know on the weekends. We went to several parties together. Evantually we wound up going to one party in particular where Stephen met the mother of his two children, Amy Stott. Stephen Married Amy almost two years later and had two children. They had a girl named Lynn Rachel Faust Born 09/13/1997, and then they had a boy named Austin L'roy Faust born 08/03/1999.  Stephen was a wonderful man and so therefore of course his kids are both real sweethears and very empathetic and sympathetic. They always seem to know when something is bothering you. They are always so comforting and try to make me feel better. I love his kids so much. Stephen got tired of all of the jerks that Bolivar High School consisted of and he just wound up getting his High School Equivalency Diploma.  Right after that he took some classes at Vetterott HVAC although unfortunately he did not wind up finishing the course due to lack of fanicial aid.  He tried one odd job after another until he found his true calling. He attended The Drury Police Academy from 2010 thru 2011 and recieved his badge and firearm at grduation May of 2011. His whole family was so proud of him. Unfortunately he had been unable to get hired on at a precient due to lack of funds and budget cuts.  This resulted in an even more state of depression. Stephen was supposed to be on depression medication but he refused to take it. He decided that drinking made him feel better. In 2012 Stephen and I lost our father Steve Leroy Faust on April 29th, 2012. This made Stephen even more and more depressed. Accompanied by his depression came generalized anxiety and panic disorder thanks to Stephens father's widow whom his father was seperated from at the time of his demise. Stephens wench of a step-mother kept insisting she was on his fathers policy but was in fact not. This took an even bigger toll on Stephen's Psyche. After several months of litigation and having to get an insurance analyst and an insurance attorney involved, they settled at 35% for Stephen L. Faust, 35 for me, his sister, Stephanie L. Faust-Norman and 30% for the b*$ch April who was not even on the poilcy. The next event that took place took all of us by a huge surprise. The fateful event on the night of December 20th, 2013 I believe we chalked up to be a huge mistake and meir accident.  Sure Stephen probably pondered it but there is no way my brother would have resorted to suicide considering we had made plans to go to California to visit our dads grave, we were going to take a walk down hollywood blvd and go into places like Saks 5th Ave and make fun of people paying three grand for a hand bag...also, he has just found out he was going to be recieving a life changing for the better amount of money right before it happened. My brother was stronger than that. What had happened was strickly an accident. He would also never purposely leave his kids behind, nor would he do that to his mother. The day before it happened, I ended this ongoing fued we had been having (thankfully) I gave him a big tight hug and said " I am sorry Stephen, I love you!! and I need you now more than ever!!". I also seriously doubt that after hearing that, he would just leave me like that. I am so sorry Stephen. Everyone will  always love and miss you. I am sure that everyday that goes by, one of us or all of us will be thinking of you. I know I will think of you everyday. I hope where ever you are my sweet brother, that you are happier. I hope to see you when my times comes. I miss you so much bro!.
