Steven "Steve" Rapson Jr.

Steven “Steve” Rapson Jr., 42, of Plymouth, Michigan, passed away on Friday, May 23, 2025. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, on October 6, 1982, to his parents Steven Rapson Sr. and Susan (nee Zajac) Haar.

He worked for Westborn Market as a district manager. He is survived by his parents; Steven (Cindy) Rapson and Susan (James) Haar. His siblings; Katie (Dominik) Stecula, Nick (Braxton Collins) Rapson, and Zachary (Kim) Haar. A nephew; Florian Stecula. His grandparents; Barbara and Malvin Rapson, Vickie Doss. Also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous friends. Steven was preceded in death by his grandparents; Edward Zajac, Pete Doss, James and Jean Haar, Rita and William Nowak.

Steve’s love for music spotlighted his talent and creativity. He attended and worked at many shows, played drums in a band and enjoyed just hanging out listening to his vinyl collection. As a child/teen, Steve loved to play and excelled in ice hockey. He also was a die-hard Red Wings fan. As a young man out in the work force, Steve demonstrated that he was smart, reliable and productive. He had a diligent work ethic.

To his family and many friends, he was quiet and unpredictable, yet always loyal, considerate and dependable. He was genuine, an amazing listener that was filled with kind-heartedness, compassion and empathy. A tender, sensitive soul that was taken from us way too soon and now is etched in our hearts for all of eternity.
