Stephen F. Flanagin, age 60, of Austin, Texas went home to God on Thursday,
November 10th 2005. He was born in Washington, D.C. to Charles and Romaine
Flanagin. Steve's love of learning led him to a multitude of studies,
including Radio, Television, and Film at the University of Texas, religious
studies at Golden Gate Seminary, bass guitar and Portuguese lessons. He
earned a bachelors degree in Asian Studies and a masters degree in Library
Science from the University of Hawaii. He served as a helicopter pilot in
the Vietnam War, and he loved and honored his country and those who served
with him. Steve's career interests led him in many directions, including
positions as a flight attendant for Pan Am, an actor/voice talent, a massage
therapist, and a security patrol officer. Steve was a man of integrity. He
always wanted the best for his family and friends, was a rock of support for
them, and constantly found ways to do things for others. He had a deep and
abiding faith in God and worshipped at the Church of Conscious Harmony.
Steve impacted many lives, and we are deeply saddened by his loss. He will
live in our hearts forever. He is survived by his loving wife Marvean,
mother Romaine, son Ryan and wife Nora, daughter Kerri and husband Andrew,
three beloved grandchildren, sisters Jan, Elaine, Betty, and Elly, brother
Chuck, and special nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held on
Saturday, November 19th, at 11:00 a.m. at The Sanctuary, 2600 Exposition
Blvd., in Austin, TX 78703. Memorial contributions may be made to the
Vietnam Helicopter Pilot's Association at www.vhpa.org.
