COL STEPHEN WALTER WESTBROOK to TAPs.

Steve Westbrook, age 71, of Fairfax, VA passed away peacefully Friday, February 9, 2018, at Inova Fairfax Hospital, surrounded by his family after a long battle with numerous illnesses.
Steve was born in Gainesville, GA, the son of the late Charles Westbrook and Mildred Westbrook Wigley and stepfather, Frank Wigley. He grew up in Marietta, GA, graduated college from Georgia Tech and received his master's degree from the University of Northern Colorado.
He is survived by his daughter, Michelle Westbrook and son, Michael (Angela), Leesburg VA; his sister, Shirley Barker (Ronald), Tocca, Ga; grandchildren Grant, Mitchell and Eleanor Westbrook; his former spouse Teri (Cricket) Westbrook (John) and close friends Will and Debbie Stormer. He is preceded in death by his brother Robert Westbrook, (Francis) Marietta, Ga.
Steve was drafted into the Army and served in Viet Nam. His love of military service prompted him to a very successful and distinguished military career moving from enlisted to the officer ranks. After serving the US Army for 30 years, he continued to work for the Dept of Defense for an additional 15 years until his retirement from Federal Service.
In retirement he was an avid fisherman, voracious reader and participator in family events. Steve loved his GA Tech Yellow Jackets and JMU football along with his vast collection of movies.
