Steven “Bub” Mulrooney passed away at home on August 5, 2015 at the age of 21.

Steven is lovingly remembered by his parents, Thomas and Beverly Mulrooney; and his siblings: Shannon Felici, Lauren Mulrooney, Meghan Mulrooney, Brian Mulrooney, Erin Mulrooney, and Kelly Dix.

Steven was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on April 29, 1994. He graduated from Phillipsburg High School in 2013. Steven aspired to continue a career in the auto mechanic industry since he enjoyed fixing cars so much.

Steven was a lover of the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, working on the farm, and camping. Getting dirty in the fields with dirt bikes, four wheelers and trucks was a passion of his. Steven was also an avid member of the Phillipsburg FFA Chapter during his time at PHS. Steven particularly enjoyed being a goof, and torturing his sister Erin was a favorite pastime of his. Anyone who knows Bub knows that camo, Fords, John Deere, his boots, and hats were a few of his favorite things. While all of these things are very representative of Steven, a memory of him would not be complete without him riding his multi-colored bike wherever he wanted to go.

The visitation will be held at Phillipsburg Alliance Church, 255 Lincoln Street, Phillipsburg, NJ on August 13, 2015 from 8:30-10:30. The funeral service will be held directly following the visitation with Pastor Randy Nelson officiating. Burial to follow the funeral service will take place at the Forks Cemetery on Sullivan Trail.  A reception will take place at Alpha Park on Vulcanite Ave.  following the burial.  The Ashton Funeral Home, Easton is handling the arrangements.  Offer online condolences at www.AshtonFuneralHome.com.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Phillipsburg Chapter of Celebrate Recovery at the Phillipsburg Alliance Church.
