Egg Harbor, WI — The Egg Harbor community is grieving the sudden death of Stephen Stamm, 23, who was killed in a single-vehicle crash late Friday night in nearby Sevastopol. Emergency crews responded to the scene along State Highway 57 shortly after 8:30 p.m. on February 6, 2026, but Stamm was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities confirmed.
According to the Door County Sheriff’s Office, Stamm was driving northbound when his vehicle left the roadway and struck a utility pole. He was the only occupant, and investigators say there is no immediate evidence of another vehicle or external factor contributing to the crash. Authorities noted that an autopsy has been completed, with results pending as the investigation continues. Weather that evening was reported as typical for a winter night, though icy patches may have contributed to the accident.

While the investigation into the circumstances of the crash is ongoing, the community is focusing on celebrating Stamm’s life rather than the tragedy of his death. Residents said they will remember him for his laughter, his generosity, and the connections he forged in Egg Harbor, a young life that, though cut short, touched many.
