In loving memory of Stephen Albert Guzman, who passed away on July 14, 2026, at the age of 49. Born on October 6, 1976, in Los Angeles, Stephen was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, and friend. He was the cherished son of Joe and Mary Guzman, who have predeceased him. Stephen leaves behind a legacy of love through his family: his devoted wife, Lorraine Ochoa, whom he married on a beautiful day in Los Angeles on January 22, 2000; his brother Joe; his sister Brianna; and his two beloved children, daughter Destiny and son Nick. Stephen’s life was a vibrant tapestry of laughter, joy, and kindness. Known for his infectious sense of humor, he was someone with whom you could always share a laugh or a light-hearted moment. His passion for the Dodgers, his love for cars, and his deep connection to music were just a few of the things that brought color to his life. Stephen was known for his impeccable style, always donning the cleanest outfits, complete with his signature hats and favorite cologne, ensuring he was always at his best. A man of warmth and generosity, Stephen's caring nature left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a pillar of strength and a beacon of support to his family and friends, always ready with a kind word or a helping hand. Stephen's life will be celebrated on August 22, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the LA Pentecostal Church, located at 8300 Eastern Ave, Bell Gardens, CA.

Poem / Prayer

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
