Steven Medairos

Steven Medairos, Sr. 61, of Allenstown passed away peacefully March 14, 2016 following a difficult and courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family.
Steven was born in Brockton, MA November 6, 1954 to William F. and Emma L. (Walsh) Medairos. He moved to Derry, NH with his family in 1965 and he attended Pinkerton Academy. Following high school, Steven enlisted in the US Army and proudly served his country during Vietnam. Upon returning to civilian life, Steven became a long-haul truck driver and he crisscrossed the country in his rig until retirement.
Steven was heavily involved in supporting our nation's veterans. He was a member of the American Legion and on the VFW and Legion Honor Guard in Derry, he was past commander of the DAV State of NH and he was always seeking out ways to make life better for our heroes. He loved to take family vacations to Weirs Beach in Laconia, NH and he was well known for his quirky sense of humor. Family was the most important thing in Steven's life and he showed it in a multitude of ways. He was a big presence in the lives of so many and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
