Stelian Micu went home on Saturday, September 20, 2025. Born on August 22, 1956 in Romania, Stelian learned early the importance of hard work and integrity. He moved to the United States in 1990, joined by his late wife (Mihaela Micu) and their two children (Alisa and Elian Micu) three years later.
Stelian took immense pride in his work as an engineer for over 40 years. While proud of his work accomplishments, Stelian’s greatest devotion was to his family. He was a cherished husband to his wife, Adela Micu, a loving parent to Alisa and Elian Micu, and a proud grandparent to Noah and Daria Micu. He is also survived by his sister, Mia Micu, daughter-in-law, Georgiana Micu, and stepdaughter, Esther Mattner. Stelian leaves behind a legacy of devotion, strength, and resilience.

My deepest condolences to the family. Rest in Peace.
Stelian and I shared a love of roasting our own coffee and had many conversations about roasting equipment, and coffee grinders and Espresso!
We were kindred spirits on home and yard projects and shared our progress almost daily.
I miss his morning updates at my desk. He would always come over with a big smile and a “Good morning Steven, I want to give you an update on…,”
He was such a dedicated and focused person it was a joy to be his friend.
I miss him but I know he is in good hands with Jesus. Peace to his family who he loved so much.
My deepest condolences to Mr. Micu’s family and friends. May his light shine bright from Heaven above and every time you look up, you will pick a star that you just know is his light! Rest in Eternal Peace, Mr. Micu!
Warm hugs and comfort.
Tribute to Stelian
Stelian was my brother—not only my brother-in-law, but also my bigger brother in so many ways. He was the “cool brother,” the one with the amazing toys, the knowledge to fix anything, and the patience to teach. I still remember the days he showed me how to solder and build electronic circuits. His mind was always at work—full of projects, searching for ways to improve and create. I deeply admired his precision, his dedication, and the way everything he touched was brought into order. Organization and clarity came so naturally to him, and I often wished I could be more like him.
Even though distance often kept us apart, I was always happy to talk to him, and he was always glad to hear from me. Every call carried his good spirit and positivity—maybe because we didn’t talk often enough. My one regret is that we didn’t share more of those conversations. He was a fountain of knowledge in so many areas: health, life, mechanics, electronics, optics, music, modern technology—you name it. I was endlessly fascinated by how much he knew.
One passion we shared was photography, something that seemed almost destined since both of our fathers in Romania were photographers. We shared photography more through its technology than its art—talking about cameras, lenses, and the science behind capturing an image. It was a passion rooted in precision, inherited from our fathers, and it connected us in a special way. Another passion was food—not just ordinary meals, but specialties and unique flavors. He especially loved exploring the science of food, always curious to discover new tastes and nuances. Stelian was also a generous and hospitable man, always ready to give of himself.
It is painful to know that I can no longer share my life with him, but I take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. He is resting, far too early, but peacefully. I always ended our phone calls with, “I’ll talk to you later.” Today, I say it again—we will talk and see each other later, Steli. Resting in the hope of the resurrection, my brother.
We will miss your smile, your laugh, your good cheer, your kindness, and your hospitality. Yet we hold onto the hope that one day we will meet again. On that day, we will sit together and share all that has happened since you went to sleep – our joys, our sorrows, and everything in between. What a happy day that will be.
You never had the chance to meet your nephew, Mattias, but I am certain he would have been your biggest fan. In him we already see your same passion for electronics, and we believe that spark will continue to grow, carrying a part of you forward.
Rest in the blessed hope, until that glorious morning, Steli. We will always remember you with joy, faith, and peace.

Going to miss his random chats with me about some new device he learned about. Be at peace Stelian.
THIS WORLD HAS LOST A GREAT MAN May he rest in Peace
Steli was my brother-in -low. He liked to call me Emiliana. It’s hard to belive that he’s not longer with us. I haven’t seen him for many years but the memory of him is like it was yesterday.
I remember his kidness, his smille and support he gave to those around him.
Among many other things I remember he loved fishing and he was very proud to show me his first boat.
His passing too early leaves a huge void.
Alisa , Elian si Adela I will keep you in my prayers. May God gives you comfort in this immense suffering. Hope and pray to see all of you and Steli in heavens.
Carin also send his sincere condolences.
With deepest condolences, let his legacy not be forgotten!
I pray for you and your family, that your Angels will rap their wings around each of you for comfort as strength.
Our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. May God comfort you during this time of mourning for the passing of your dad, father-in-law, grandpops, brother-in-law, and uncle. Though we may not have known him personally, he is our brother in Christ, and that makes us family in Christ.
As Jesus referred to death as sleep, we believe he is now resting until that glorious day when Jesus returns. This is not a final farewell, but a hopeful ‘see you soon’ on that great resurrection morning. May the Lord’s peace surround and strengthen the families.
I am so very sorry for the great loss your family is feeling. May Jesus help you through this time of sorrow. Knowing that this is a temporary separation is a great comfort to all of us who have lost a loved one. Know that your Auburn Church family is praying for you.
My thoughts are with Stelian and his family. May you all find peace and comfort through the days ahead.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Stelian our colleague. As echoed above, he is a unique person. Always sharing skills and knowledge. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. May you find strength and comfort in the cherished memories you shared together. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

I was very sad on hearing of Stelians passing. He was a very dedicated hard working employee on the T38 program we worked on. I will pray that the Lord Jesus will give his family His peace that goes beyond all understanding during this time.

We are so sorry for your loss. We pray that you feel God’s love, comfort, and peace. Psalm 34:18
Please know the Auburn Seventh-day Adventist Church loves you and is keeping you in prayer.
Last time I saw Stelica, it was in Craiova about 30 years ago. He was in passing and he apologised for not bringing presents. But he still managed to find gifts for us, from his own personal things. I remember a compact CD player and headphones, having inside a Lionel Richie album. It was a total novelty for me, as I had never saw such technology before. I remember listening to that album over and over again for the following years. Even now, many decades later, whenever I hear one of those songs played, I remember Stelica.
I remember him now like he was on that golden afternoon: freshly shaved and elegant, wearing his American cologne, with a big and generous heart, unable to hide it under his jumper, and his eyes full of joy, seeing us, kids, screaming with pleasure at the sight of his gifts.
Until we meet again, in a glorious land, where will be no more tears and no more pain.
