1939 - 2025

Steven Charles Shirosky, Sr., 85, of North Port, Florida formerly of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, passed away surrounded by his family on February 14, 2025. After attending Brockton High School, Steve married Elaine Fruzzetti of Brockton and went on to serve in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Fort Snelling of the U.S. Sixth Fleet operating out of Norfolk, Virginia. The Snelling took part in the landing of Marines at Beirut, Lebanon in July 1958, during the Middle East crisis.

Steve returned to Massachusetts in 1962 to raise his family. He attended Wentworth Institute of Technology and built a successful painting business before retiring to Port Charlotte, Florida in 1999. Steve and his family attended the Assembly of God church in Brockton, where he served as a deacon. Together, Steve and Elaine, dedicated their lives to the service of the church, working with communities in Haiti and Honduras, as well as various organizations and ministries that brought Christ's love, forgiveness and support to prisoners, their families and those who struggle with substance abuse. Steven's service to the lord continued after moving to Florida with decades of service to his church family at West Coast Church in Englewood, Florida.

Steve is survived by his beloved wife, Elaine of 67 years; his ten children, Bonnie Lee Duggan, Steven, Jr. and Karen Shirosky, John E. and Marjorie Shirosky, Lauren Shirosky, Chirstopher Shirosky and Jennifer Blankenship, Angela and Shawn Ryan, Ernest Shirosky, Eric Shirosky, William Shirosky, Elson Alexandre; and his 26 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and great-great-grandson. Steve Shirosky touched many with his generosity and grateful spirit. He would often say about his life and family, "It doesn't get any better than this." The family asks any memorial contributions be directed to Kairos Prison Ministry, an organization close to Steve's heart and with which he was deeply involved.
