Steven Walter MacDonald

July 27, 1974 - April 17, 2022

Steven Walter MacDonald, of Penrose, Colorado, died on Sunday, April 17, 2022 at the age of 47. He was surrounded by the love and comfort of his family when he was called home. As his affectionate nickname “Whopper” suggests, Steven had a larger than life personality. His laugh was infectious and smile genuine; if you were graced with either, you were lucky indeed. His intelligence, humor, and knack for storytelling were unmatched and will be sorely missed. Steven was an avid musician, having played tuba and sousaphone in high school and drum corps, most notably with the Boston Crusaders. His passion for music inspired both his children and siblings to follow in his footsteps. He also enjoyed playing and spectating hockey, ragging on his Patriots’-loving family, and golfing. Steven is loved and survived by his children, Steven W. MacDonald, Jr., Andrea MacDonald, and Jonathan MacDonald of Pittsburgh, PA; parents, Walter and Linda Lyons of Methuen, MA; siblings, Kelly Anne Lyons, Douglas Lyons, and Derek Lyons; numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and so many folks that loved him; and his pups, Trixie, Dell, and Ali. Family and friends will honor and celebrate Steven’s life by gathering for his calling hours, which will be celebrated from 4- 8 PM on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at the Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral Home, 233 Lawrence Street, Methuen. His funeral service will held at 10 AM on Thursday at the funeral home. Burial will follow at St. Mary Cemetery in Tewksbury.
