Nécrologie de Stephen Borges
Stephen Michael Borges, age 58, of Cary, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2026.
Born on May 28, 1968, in Fall River, Massachusetts, Stephen spent most of his life in the city he proudly called home before later relocating to North Carolina. He was the youngest of five children born to the late Fernando and Geraldine Borges.
Stephen will be remembered for his generous heart, infectious sense of humor, and remarkable ability to make everyone around him smile. Whether through his spot-on impersonations, witty jokes, or playful personality, he had a gift for bringing laughter and light into the lives of those who knew him. His warmth, kindness, and compassion left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Stephen is survived by his beloved wife, Veronica Borges; his former wife, Nancy; his loving son, Brendon Borges; his cherished daughter, Gianna Borges; and his precious granddaughter, Trinity, who brought him endless joy and pride.
He is also survived by his devoted siblings: Cynthia Ferreira and her husband, Dave; Joyce Ferreira and her husband, Paul; Elaine Emond and her husband, Rick; and his brother, Fernando Borges and his wife, Bernadette. Stephen was a proud and loving uncle to many nieces and nephews and a treasured great-uncle to many great-nieces and great-nephews. He cherished each of them and valued the special relationships they shared.
Stephen was an avid Boston Bruins and New England Patriots fan who rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on his favorite teams. He enjoyed following current events, listening to the music of the 1980s, attending the theater, and sharing a good comedy. Above all else, Stephen treasured his family. He deeply loved his children, granddaughter, siblings, nieces, nephews, and extended family, and found great happiness in celebrating life's moments with them.
Those fortunate enough to know Stephen will remember his generous spirit, unwavering loyalty, and contagious laughter. He had a unique ability to brighten any room and make people feel welcome through his humor and genuine kindness. While his passing leaves an immeasurable void, his legacy of love, laughter, and compassion will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
A memorial service celebrating Stephen's life will be announced by the family at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites those who wish to honor Stephen's memory to perform an act of kindness, share laughter with those they love, cheer on the Bruins or Patriots, or make a donation to a charity of their choice in his memory.
~"Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day—unseen, unheard, but always."

For practically all of our (who’s old?) younger years especially the 80's when America was a happy MTV fun time, we enjoyed a fabulous time as a big group. Steve (“Serafim” he loved that one) yeah, was a key central part of us. Definitely the lovable comedian always trying to make everyone and himself laugh out loud. Brandon and Gianna experienced his amazingness even as Brandon stared at corner walls instead of hockey games - LOL! But has with comedians, laughs over the years become more a
My brother in Christ was a true and blue kind of brother to me. He always spoke something with great insight and love to me, as his sister. He was the kind of person who would always be there for any of us in the household of Christ and outside. He loved everyone, like Jesus does. He , in his walk with God, helped me to see the character of God and His grace. I will miss my brother Stevie Bee. I mourn not as the world does, but I grieve in the knowing and trusting that I will see Steve one Day
Steve, thank you for the honor of your friendship and love to Rick and me. I know you are now with Jesus and that gives me more joy than sorrow. You are more alive now than you were on earth. We will always miss your presence, but know when we reach heaven's gates, you will be there to greet us. Veronica, Brendon, Gianna thank you for sharing Steve (Dad) with us. Veronica, thank you for your beautiful hospitality when we came to visit. Steve's Portuguese meal was the BEST. Your sweet little
Dear, Dad I can't begin to describe how hard it is knowing that you're not with us on this Earth anymore. From the minute I was born, I've heard all the stories of how happy you were to hold me in your arms. You always knew what to say, how to say it and when to say it. From the early years of tying my skates in the living room before we go to my 6am practice to seeing you in the stands during some of my high school games, you were always my biggest fan. You were the type of person who always
There are some people whose kindness leaves a lasting mark on your heart, and my Uncle Steve was one of those people. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of him sitting with me, drawing Popeye and Looney Tunes characters completely by hand. He didn’t just draw them—he brought them to life with his incredible voice impressions and his amazing sense of humor. As a kid, I thought it was magical. He had a way of making every moment fun, and he always made the people around him smile. As I g
