Stephen L. Uhl, 68, of Dallas Road, Bradford, passed away Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at Knickerbocker Villa in Clearfield.

Born March 31, 1957, in Olean NY, he was a son of the late Marvin J. and Donna M. (Berlin) Uhl.

On June 20, 1987, at his mother-in-law Mary’s home on Hawthorne Road, he married Janet E. (Dudick) Uhl, who survives.

Steve was a third-generation Independent Oil and Gas Producer. At a very young age he learned oil field work from his grandfather, Lewis Uhl. He did roustabout work, pumping, drilling, pulling, plugging oil wells and making locations as well as welding when needed. He later worked with his father Marvin at the Lawton lease in Derrick City. He also was employed at Kendall Refining Company and BDH Oil Company, working the Gibson lease. In the early 1980’s with his dad and brothers, Bob and Ron, they developed the Schnell Oil lease in Allegany NY. He only retired due to his declining health.

Steve enjoyed motocross racing in his teens, hunting, fishing, rock and roll music and attending concerts in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and beyond. He loved driving his 1969 Firebird, a gift from his father when he graduated from high school.
