Stephen Proctor

Stephen Charles Proctor, 38, passed away in an automobile accident on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.

Stephen was born October 1, 1984, in Des Moines, Iowa to Stephen R. and Sharon (Haifley) Proctor. He loved his family and organized many of the family holiday gatherings. He was always making plans. He had a passion for cooking and baking, and enjoyed helping Mandy in the kitchen. He was the kindest person you would ever meet and would bend over backwards for anyone, but would mess with you the whole time. His orneriness was almost as strong as his generosity. Stephen enjoyed gaming, especially Pokemon, cosplay, and making trips to Canada for conventions. He was a very kind-hearted person who donated his time to Boy Scouts and helping kids.

He is survived by his future wife, Mandy Peterson; parents, Sharon and Stephen Proctor; brother, James Proctor; uncle and aunts, Charles and Karen Proctor, Kay Proctor-McNeeley; best friend, Terra Kelly; and many cousins, extended family, and friends.

Stephen was preceded in death by his uncle, Bob Proctor; and his grandparents, Charles and Elizabeth Proctor, and Clarence and Doris Haifley.

Visitation will begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by funeral service at 12:00 p.m., Thursday, February 9, 2023, at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue, Des Moines. Cremation will take place after the service. Stephen will be interred at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be directed to the family in loving memory of Stephen.
