STEVE J. SCHWARTZ, 70, of Park Hills, Kentucky, passed away on March 23, 2025. He was born on

August 20, 1954 in Covington, Kentucky to the late Arthur and Julianna (Fritz) Schwartz. Steve was a

graduate of Covington Catholic High School and Northern Kentucky University. He was a long time

accountant for Shillito’s/Shillito-Rike’s/Lazarus Department Store, and later worked for the Internal

to do, he taught them all the old games he played when he was growing up, and they loved every

minute of it. Steve’s laugh was infectious. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his

brother, Daniel Schwartz. He is survived by his siblings, Mark Schwartz, Donna (Bernie) Wessels and

Kevin Schwartz, dear friend Chris Schwartz, 5 nephews, 1 niece, 2 great nephews, and 1 great niece.
