Steven Carl Overton passed away unexpectedly at his home in Mount Lake Terrace, Washington on June 2nd 2020.

He was 74 years old.

Steve was born on the 16th of April 1945 in Lewiston, Idaho.

He was the oldest of 3 boys, born to the union of his parents, Jim and Dorine Overton.

Steve grew up in Portland, Oregon. He attended Jason Lee grade school and James Madison high, followed by Portland State college.

Out of college, Steve joined the Air Force where he was deployed to Japan, working as a security analyst where his skills in speaking many languages including Japanese, Russian and German were well utilized.

After being discharged from the Air Force, Steve did 2 years of schooling to become a massage therapist, after which he worked for Massage Envy. He then became a professional photographer.

Then, due to his computer skills, Steve was hired as a computer programmer at an insurance company and finally for Zenith American, where he continued as a computer programmer, up to his last day.

He had a few hobbies, including photography, learning new languages, bicycling and kayaking and he also made beautiful and unique pens.

In fact, a whole room in his house and half of his garage was devoted to this craft. Then every summer, he would rent a space at the Edmonds flea market and sell the new lot of pens he made.

Steve was a cheerful, outgoing and friendly man. His friendship will be missed and he will remain in our hearts forever.
