Steven MacRae
Webster, NH – Steven Douglas MacRae, 77, died Friday, September 12th,
2025, at the Jack Byrne Center in Lebanon, NH. He was born on August
12th, 1948, in Barrington, RI, the son of Douglas Everett MacRae and
Shirley H. MacRae (Stubbs). He was the husband of Kathy Larson MacRae
(Larson). They were married on August 30th, 1969, in Fort Lauderdale,
FL.
Steven grew up in Barrington, RI, but moved to South Carolina to
attend college. He was studying geography at the University of South
Carolina when he met the love of his life, Kathy, who had been
studying at the university as well. Their story may have started in a
lunch line one afternoon, but Steven and Kathy would go on to spend 56
years of marriage together. They had three children: Shawn, Brian, and
Shannon, who were their pride and joy.
After earning his bachelor’s degree, Steven would move to Michigan to
obtain his master’s degree in geography. He spent most of his life
working as a stockbroker. He worked for Paine Webber, Merrill Lynch,
and retired working for Morgan Stanley. He also served in the national
guard.
Steven and Kathy have been at their horse farm in Webster, NH,
together since 1982. They shared a love for their horses; having owned
many, but Billy will always have been Steven’s favorite horse. You
could always find Steven and Kathy outside. They enjoyed each other’s
company and going on hikes.
Steven also participated in bike racing, played with his soccer team
in Concord, NH, and loved playing polo. When his children were
younger, he was always encouraging them to play different sports and
would coach the teams they were on. Steven was a bright and loyal
husband, father, and friend, who was very giving to his communities
and to all those around him. No one could ever forget his sense of
humor, and he could always make you laugh.
Steven was a leader at the First Baptist Church in Concord, NH. Being
devout in his faith meant everything to him. There were many missions
trips that he had gone on. He had gone to Mexico, Guatemala, Belize,
and many other places. He and his wife, Kathy, both shared their
faith.
He is survived by his wife Kathy MacRae of Webster, NH; sons Shawn
MacRae of Gunnison, CO, and Brian MacRae of Bardonia, NY; daughter
Shannon Kubiak (MacRae) and Kirk husband of Bluffton, SC;
grandchildren Jackson MacRae, Jacob Bailey, Kirk Bailey, and Gabrielle
