Jeffrey Stemen
May 14, 1964 – Nov. 14, 2019
Jeffrey Arnold Stemen
was born in Minot, ND on
May 14, 1964 to Myron
and Carol (Luke) Stemen.
He went to Burlington
Elementary and graduated
from Des Lacs High
School in 1982. He at-
tended Minot State Col-
lege and received a BS De-
gree in Business Manage-
ment and Finance in
1986.
Jeff moved to Texas in
1987 and went to work at
Ramada Inn. For the past
19 years he worked at
Texas Health Systems. Jeff
was an avid animal lover
and had taken care of
many cats and dogs. His
current family were his
pets Rudy and Annie.
They absolutely adored
Jeff and he was devoted to
them. Jeff also had a dog
named Jessie who was in-
volved in Paws across
Texas and they had many
adventures together.
Nobody had a bigger
heart than Jeff. He was al-
ways willing to step up
and help whoever was in
need and see that things
got done. His quick wit
was always good for a
laugh and he will be
missed by all.

mother, Carol Stemen; sis-
ters, Shelly (John) Lau-
inger and Sharon (Steve)
Morgans; nephews and
nieces, Lance Lauinger,
