Stephen G. Bovasso, DO

Stephen G. Bovasso, DO, age 58, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed away on April 21, 2023. He was born in Kirksville, Missouri, on October 19,1964. Steve is survived by his father, George Bovasso; mother, Florence Crummett; sister, Linda Bovasso; brother-in-law, Roy Flores; wife, Sharna; and his children, Blake and Ali Bovasso.

Steve was a 1993 graduate of the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his internship and anesthesia residency at Tulsa Regional Medical Center in 1997 and remained an attending physician there until 2022. He served as program director of the anesthesia residency program and president of the UTB Anesthesia group. Due to his mentoring nature, Steve was awarded the OSU Medical Center Attending of the Year in 2010 and the Osteopathic Founders Foundation 2018 Outstanding Physician.

Steve was highly respected, talented, empathetic, intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated, protective and selfless. He was a fierce advocate for his patients, partners, residents, and family. His life was well spent in service, and his legacy will continue to live on through all of us. The only thing Steve loved more than his medical family was his actual family. He was the best son, brother, husband, father, mentor, and friend.

You could always find Steve with a kind smile on his face. Steve was happiest when he was riding his motorcycles, driving his classic cars, going on trips to Cabo, and spending as much time as he could at Grand Lake with family and friends. Steve lived his life to the fullest in every way.

In lieu of flowers, please remember Steve with memorial contributions to the ALS Association which provides resources to families and is helping search for a cure. https://donate.ok.als.org/teambovasso1
