Steven Carlos Maldonado

Steven Carlos Maldonado walked through heavens gates Monday October 23. He will always be in the hearts of his loved ones Mom and Dad, Rachel Victoria & Carlos Maldonado, his sisters Samantha Marie & Stacy Rose, nieces Stassi Rose & Stevi Raquel, best friend Michael Nunez, aunt and uncle Antoinette and Richard Garcia as well as various friends and family.

Being a son, brother and uncle was something Steve enjoyed no matter how much we could all press his buttons. He loved to lecture and tell us “we are family” even when he rolled his eyes at us. He was a great friend to those around him. Always willing to lend a hand or an ear, whatever the occasion called for.

Steven worked a few different jobs thought out his life and would always take pride in what he did. From managing a pizza place, to linefinding and being a photographer, he was always proud of what he did. His favorite gig however was being Santa Claus! We will always remember how much he loved being Santa and the stories about the kids that enjoyed his knowledge about toys and their feelings!! We enjoyed listening to him speak about his work days and fellow employees, and no matter where he was at he never spoke negatively of them. He is a shining example of what it is to be a cool person.

Steven will always be with us through his great love of all music and Adam Sandler movies! Steven always enjoyed others laughing and put everyone before himself. His generosity will be remembered as well as his smile and beautiful twinkle in his eyes! Steven, you will always be loved, cherished and in our hearts.
