Stephan James Cedarbloom, age 29 of Minneapolis, formerly of Shakopee, died unexpectedly on April 29, 2019. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, May 11, 2019 at 1PM with a visitation 3-hours prior, all at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, 833 S. Marschall Rd., Shakopee. Pastor Christian Huntley will preside and urnbearers will be his brother Ben, uncle AJ, and friends, Steve Rivera, Matt Watkins, and Rachel Mars.
On November 1, 1989 parents Cyndi and Jim celebrated the birth of their son, Stephan. He had the darkest brown eyes, the blackest hair, and at 8lbs 13oz Stephan looked like a miniature sumo wrestler. Throughout life, Stephan had an unshakeable bond with his siblings—they laughed, loved, fought, and forgave. He was fiercely protective of his family but was never afraid to pull pranks on them.
Stephan attended school in Shakopee where he participated in state honors choir, played tuba in the marching band, and excelled academically. Whether it was politics or math, Stephan knew his facts and could win any debate or answer any question.
It was during high school that Stephan began a friendship with Emily Isakson. Over the years, their friendship blossomed into love. They loved deeply and completed one another, bringing out the best qualities in each other! They lived in downtown Minneapolis where they could enjoy different activities, visit restaurants, and enjoy craft breweries with their friends. With ever changing hair styles and signature outfits, Stephan was a true city dweller.
Stephan extended compassion and empathy to everyone. He was supportive during the good and tough times, especially for his uncle AJ. No matter what, Stephan’s contagious laughter and fun-loving attitude could make a bad day better.
Stephan had a big personality—he was charismatic, honest, and genuine! His ability to light up a room will always be remembered by those who love him. His mother, Cyndi (Jamie) Grenier, and father, Jim (Dana) Cedarbloom; soulmate, Emily Isakson; siblings, Ben Cedarbloom, Ashley Grenier, Torie Anderson, Jake Hemmah, Justin Hemmah, Sammy Germain, Ashley Letourneau; niece and twin nephews, Violet Grenier, Declen Grenier, Daxten Grenier; grandparents, Loren (Cheryl) Richert, Brian Letourneau; many aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends.
Stephan is preceded in death by his grandma, Linda Bunday, and his great-grandparents.

So very saddened by your tragic and sudden loss. Elayne and I are thinking of your family and you. We love you and are here for you, anything at all.

A piece of my heart died with you Stephan. I’ll always make your pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving in memory of you. I wish you could see the outpouring of love for you. You were always looking out for the other guy. I will miss your smiling face. Until we meet again. Love, Grandma (& Grandpa)
Walking on the paths this morning, on the East side of Cedar Lake in Minneapolis, my wife and I came across a hand carved wooden memorial for Stephen. We hadn’t seen it in this place before, it appeared to be place here to be viewable from the main path. It is weathered and worn and looks to be moved from its former location as the stick it is mounted on has broken off and it is now leaning against a tree. If you walk south on along the lake path from Cedar beach, there are some rocks with carvings on them arrayed in a spiral. Continue south for a ways, there is a path that ascends a little rise on your left. The memorial is leaning against a tree. Somebody spent some time making it and it and it is a beautiful reminder of this person whom I didn’t know. Merry Christmas. May your day be full of blessings and fond memories of your loved one.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
