Stephen F. Koppenheffer

Stephen Francis Koppenheffer, 80, of Junction City, KS peacefully passed away on June 22, 2025. Born on September 22, 1944, in Junction City, Kansas to Myrl and Ethel (Shane) Koppenheffer, Stephen grew up in Junction City, graduating from Junction City High School.

In October of 1965, he married Sandra Engstrom, his one and only true love. Together, they lovingly raised their family in Junction City. Steve worked for the government in civil service for 18 years, successfully venturing on to self-employment in real estate and construction, to which he worked until retirement.

Steve was an adoring husband, loving and supportive father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He found joy through spending time with his family, working on the family farm, and playing in his garden.

He is dearly missed.

Steve is survived by his loving family: daughter, Laura (husband Ozzie) Cornejo of Maryland; son, Roger (wife Donna) Koppenheffer of Texas; 8 Grandchildren; 4 Great-Grandchild; one sibling Sylvia (husband David) of Colorado; and an abundance of beautiful family and friends.

He was proceeded in death by his parents, wife, Sandra; and son, Jeffrey.

Following a life of love and selflessness, it should be of no surprise that he has gifted his body to the University of Kansas Medical Program for the advancement of the healing arts. Johnson and Mass-Hinitt Funeral Home is assisting the family. No services are scheduled at this time.
