Stephen Q.  Reprogle, 56, of Watertown, passed away on March 9, 2026, at Samaritan Medical Center.

Stephen was born on April 15, 1969, in San Diego, California, the son of Jerome "Rip" Reprogle and Jane (Wallace) Reprogle.

Stephen entered the United States Army on February 26, 1991, and was honorably discharged on August 3, 1998, with the rank of Specialist (SPC). During his service, he received several commendations, including the Armed Forces Service Medal, NATO Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, and the Sharpshooter Marksmanship Qualification Badge with Rifle Bar.

He married Alvin and Brenda Baker's  daughter, Amy Baker on July 25, 1998. Amy works at Michael's in Watertown.

Stephen worked for many years at Clayton Big M. In 2007, he and Amy purchased their home on Woodward Road in Clayton, where they raised their family. He later worked at HP Hood in LaFargeville until a serious car accident in 2017 left him with a traumatic brain injury. Following the accident, Stephen became a resident at Samaritan Summit Village, where he resided for the past eight years.

Stephen loved fishing with his family, playing cards with friends, watching NASCAR and football, and going dancing. He enjoyed spending time with friends, but most of all he loved spending time with his family. His favorite music included Hank Williams Jr. and Patsy Cline.

Stephen is survived by his beloved wife, Amy Reprogle; his three children, Joshua Reprogle of Depauville, NY; Jason (Zelena) Reprogle of Arkansas; and Alliceson (Jewel) Reprogle of Theresa, NY; and his granddaughter, Brynlee Reprogle from Arkansas. He is also survived by his mother, Jane Reprogle; two brothers and sisters-in-law, James (Jen) Reprogle and Sean (Monica) Reprogle all of Arkansas.  Stephen also had a brother in law, A.J. Baker;  three nephews, Jacob Reprogle, Nathan Reprogle both from Arkansas, and Colton Baker of Carthage; two nieces, Cassandra Baker of Dexter, and Raylynn Baker of Brownville; and one great-niece, Addison from Arkansas.

He was predeceased by his father, Jerome "Rip" Reprogle, who died in 2001.
