Stephen J. Morin ’19

Body

Stephen died Sept. 6, 2024, in Baku, Azerbaijan, following an unexpected illness. He was 28 years old.

Stephen was born in Lake Forest, Ill., in 1995 and grew up in Roseville, Calif. He graduated from Roseville High School in 2014 as salutatorian and was accepted to Princeton via early admission. Stephen joined as a member of the Class of 2018 but took a year off before graduating with our class with a degree from the School of Public and International Affairs.

After graduation, he joined Precision Advisors as a consultant, where he spent five years climbing through the ranks. Simultaneously, he nurtured his budding interest in photography and traveling. He enjoyed traveling the world and documenting his photos via his Instagram account, @morin95. Through his photography and storytelling, he sought to dispel stereotypes and highlight the richness and diversity of the places he visited.

Stephen is survived by his parents, Mark and Laura Morin, and his three younger siblings: Elizabeth, Thomas, and Bradley. To his parents, siblings, friends, colleagues, and followers, the class extends its deepest sympathies.
