Stephen R. Dana

November 2, 1955 - April 25, 2017

Stephen R. Dana Sr., age 61 of King of Prussia, owner/operator of Dana Roofing, died on Tuesday, April 25, 2017. He was born in West Conshohocken on November 2, 1955 son of the late Frank M. and Barbara (Teaford) Dana. He was the beloved husband of Sharon (DeCaro) Dana for 20 years. Raised in West Conshohocken, Steve attended Upper Merion High School. His love of working a hard day outdoors and the skill in his hands led him to start his roofing business in 1974 when he was only 19. Word spread of the quality, honesty and value of his roofing services, which caused Dana Roofing to grow and expand through the years. Steve loved being at his vacation home in Ocean City, NJ. “If he wasn’t in Ocean City checking crab traps at Corson’s Inlet, he was driving through King of Prussia looking at people’s roofs.” The love in his life was his family, the passion in life was his work. Beside his wife, Sharon, Steve is survived by: 5 children, Nicole Light (Ryan), Stephen R. Dana Jr., Kelsie Dana (Jordan Bazarnik), Frank Loughran (Stephanie) and Matthew Loughran; 4 grandchildren, Lucy, Annie, Laci and Marin; 2 brothers, Gary and John; 3 brother-in-laws, Louie, Mark and John; his father & mother-in-law, Louis and Dolores DeCaro; many nieces and nephews; his dog, Gracie. He was predeceased in life by his brother James. Relatives and friends may pay respects on Friday evening, April 28th, from 5:30-8pm at the William A. Moore Funeral Home, 708 Fayette Street, Conshohocken. Interment is private.
