Stefan Michael Savage of Charleston, Arkansas, died Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at his home after a long four year battle with brain cancer. He was born on January 4, 1990, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Philip Savage and Cindy (Locknar) Savage. He was 32 years old.

Stefan was the most generous, kind, and beautiful soul ever to walk this side of the earth. He would have given the shirt off his back for anyone in need. He was so loved by everyone he worked with at Buckle in his younger days and Sephora in his most recent days. His "guests" loved him as much as his own family. When we think about Stefan all we think about is love. He emitted the word love in every aspect of his being. He was one of those special people who touches your life, and your life is therefore enriched by that encounter. His legacy will live on through those who loved him. Stefan was a 2008 graduate of Charleston High School, a 2012 graduate of UALR, a member of Knights of Columbus, and member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Charleston.
