STEVEN GIBSON Obituary

GIBSON
STEVEN F.


passed away after an intense battle in Kaiser Permanente Zion Hospital on the evening of May 4th, 2017. The son of Edwina and Frank Gibson. He is survived by his wife Dorothy, 4 children Mikael, Casey, Martin and Ian, 7 grand-children and 6 sisters, Christine, Bella, Nina, Vivian, Lisa, and Adrienne also deceased. Steve was born in Haddonfield, NJ and graduated from Haddonfield High School. At age 18 he went west and settled in Coronado. He was an excellent artisan, had a long career in Graphic Arts and Digital Print, and was an expert in this field. The final part of his profession was spent at Southland Envelope. Steve was a devoted father, a strong man of faith with a great sense of humor. He loved music and the ocean and he hid his wisdom behind a simple life. A service of a celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.

I worked with Steve for several years at Rush Press and would be hard pressed to find a better human being. I lost touch with him over the years but always considered him a friend. Great guy who will be missed by many. I would love to attend his service if someone could let me know when. My email: [email protected]

Dear Gibson Family,

I worked very closely with Steve over the past 3 1/2 yrs. He was highly intelligent and skilled in his work as a prepress technician. Although he was very serious about the quality of his work, at the same time his sharp wit lightened the sometimes stressful atmosphere. It was a pleasure working with him as well as laughing with him. I will miss his valuable assistance on the job and his keen ability to communicate with others.

My deepest sympathies are with your family.

I KNEW STEVE THRU HIS WORK. A VERY IMPRESSIVE INDIVIDUAL. VERY INTELLIGENT BUT WITH A HUMBLENESS THAT YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT.
VERY PROUD OF HIS FAMILY AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
SUCH A KIND HEART. I WILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN.
