STEVEN "STEVE" REICH Obituary

Steven (Steve) Roland Reich was born January 24, 1957, in Lodi Ca, passed away suddenly March 11, 2025. Steven was the oldest son to his father Roland Reich and mother Lavon Keszler. Steve attended primary schools in the Lodi area and graduated from Lodi High School in 1975. He excelled in Wrestling and Football while in high school and fondly remembered those days with teammates and friends. After high school he attended a trade school in Arizona.
Steve is preceded in death by his parents and sisters Fawn Kenny and Vickie Leman. He is survived by his wife Tami Reich married on December 10, 2000, daughters Tara Reich, Stephanie Isaacson (Cameron), (step) children Mellisa and Jeremy Schuler, and grandchildren Ilias, Ava, Jayden, and Kylie. And his brother John Reich.
Steve was a hard and dedicated worker, becoming a talented plumber known as one of the best in the business, beginning at Pinasco Plumbing and spending his final years at ABC Plumbing.
Steve was a kind and gentle soul who loved his family and friends with his whole heart. He was "Old School" showing up for us all in every way he could without reservation. He leaves behind a void that is not easily filled. He will forever be missed as we all wait on our porch for his van to pull up in front of our houses for another drop-in visit. May God keep and rest his soul.
There will be a Memorial to be announced at a future date.

Steve was just the same from 8th grade to the last time I saw him a couple years ago - a span of 50+ years. Shy and funny and happy to see you and happy to help you. He'll be missed.

Steve was a great friend and as solid of a human being as you´ll find. He carried a lot of burdens and would happily help carry yours if you needed him to. I´ll miss him!

My heart breaks for you Tami & your family. I grew up around the corner from Steve & was close friends with Vickie. The Reich home was always where we wanted to hang. Great people. My hugs go out to you, John. Shirl
