Stephen Wilmoth

Mr. Stephen Hardy Wilmoth, age 68, of Dobson, NC passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday morning May 5, 2021, surrounded by family.  “Steve” was a loving husband, wonderful father, brother, and grandfather. He was extremely proud of his family and a friend to so many; he cherished these relationships. Helping others was a true passion of his, often going out of his way to help those in need.  Spending time with his family was what made him most happy.  To say that he was a hard worker would be an understatement, as farming was where he spent much of his time.  Steve was the definition of a true family man.  Humble, kind, caring, and compassionate are just a few qualities that defined this great man. He proudly served as a deacon at Salem Fork Christian Church, and he deeply loved his church and church family.  Those who knew Steve understood what a simple man he was yet had the ability to impact any and every one he ever met. He was loved by many, and he will be unbelievably missed.  To know Steve was to love him.  He was born in Surry County on September 28, 1952, to the late Howard Daniel Wilmoth and the late Pearl Hardy Wilmoth.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a grandson, Kason Elijah Wilmoth, brother, Dickie Donald Wilmoth.  Surviving is his wife, Pencanna "Pence" Woodruff Wilmoth; daughter and son-in-law, Rosanna Wilmoth Richardson and her husband Michael; two sons and daughters-in-law, Daniel Broz Wilmoth and wife Jodi, Benjamin Busby Wilmoth and wife Candace; grandchildren, Jackson Wilmoth, Isabella Wilmoth, Macon Wilmoth, Jasper Wilmoth, Creedence Wilmoth, Ila Wilmoth, Ellis Wilmoth, Aebry Murphy, Eliza Richardson, Wells Richardson; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Jim and Nancy Wilmoth, Ronnie and Kathy Wilmoth, Dennis and Cathy Wilmoth; several nieces and nephews, Jordan Wilmoth, Lucas Wilmoth, Amos Wilmoth, Casey Wilmoth, Myriah McCraw, Myles Wilmoth, Matt Wilmoth, Merry Alice Davis.  There will be a private family service held.  The family has requested in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to Mountain Valley Hospice and Palliative Care. 401 Technology Lane, Suite 200, Mt. Airy, NC 27030.  Moody-Davis Funeral Home is serving the Wilmoth family.
