Stefon Mason Burdette
Stefon Mason Burdette, 19, of Erie, Pennsylvania, passed away March 9, 2025.
Stefon was cherished by his family - which isn’t always about blood, but the people in your life who want you in theirs.
A 2024 graduate of McDowell High School, Stefon was passionate about music. If he wasn’t listening to it, he was writing lyrics or playing his keyboard. He wanted to write his own song one day and was rarely without a journal full of ideas. He loved musicals and really lousy grade-B movies. He enjoyed playing Fortnite, Madden and Super Smash Brothers. Stefon could shoot hoops for hours and loved to throw any type of ball around, especially with his dad, Justin, and Jayden.
Stefon was kind and goofy. He was a force to reckon with and a gentle soul. His favorite movie was Lilo & Stitch, because “Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.”
Along with his parents, King and Hannah, Stefon leaves behind his siblings, nephew, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who promise to honor him in the beautiful ways and in the quiet ways - looking for him in all the things he loved.
A celebration of his life will be held at a date and time yet to be determined.
