Steven "Steve" Dubois

Steven "Steve" A. DuBois, 53, of Eastford, CT, born March 3, 1960, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Tuesday, October 1, 2013. Dedicated to being a helping professional, Steve worked for the Department of Developmental Services as a case manager for 19 years. Known for his immense warmth, kindness, selflessness, and compassion, Steve worked relentlessly to improve the lives of others. In addition to being a helping professional, Steve was passionate about coaching and working with young people. He served as the head boys basketball coach at Eastford Elementary School for two years and coached the Junior Varsity Boys Basketball team at Woodstock Academy from 2001 until 2004. Although coaching and work were important to him, no job meant more to him than being a dad. A father of three by 26, nothing made Steve feel more complete than seeing his boys grow and develop into men. He is survived by his three sons, Jeremy, Matthew, and Brandon. In keeping with his wishes, a celebration of his life will be held at Potter Funeral Home, 456 Jackson Street (Rte. 195), Willimantic, CT on Sunday October 6, 2013 from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Friends of Camp Quinnebaug, which is a non-profit organization that supports a summer camp for children and adults with developmental disabilities.
