Steven Larry Angel

It is with great sorrow that we say good bye to Steven (Steve) Larry Angel, who was 61 years old at the time of his passing. Steve’s soul was surrounded by family and loved ones on his journey to heaven. He was a member of the Las Vegas City community and lived there all his life. He was also a Catholic and a member of Our Lady of Sorrows Church here in Las Vegas. Steve passed away on September 13, 2025 a couple of days after his birthdate after a lengthy illness. From his earliest days Steve was somewhat of a rebel; who lived many rich and varied lives in his hometown of Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Steve was born on September 12, 1966 to Venerito Angel and Martina Angel in Las Vegas, New Mexico. He attended West Las Vegas High School. He was predeceased in death by both his father and mother and a brother named Richard Angel. He is survived by his daughters Bianca Martinez Sanchez, and husband Trini, daughter Christina Angel, two sons Steve Angel and Venerito Angel. Surviving brothers and sisters are Roman Angel, wife Becky; Erlinda Angel Lujan and husband Eddie; Georgia Regert; Phillip Angel and wife Carol; Angela Angel Menard; Maria Ellena Guillen and husband Mario; Martina Angel and partner Rudolfo Hernandez; and Viola Angel. He as well is survived by one of his aunts, Ute Ortega. Steve is survived by his grandchildren, cousins, nephews, and nieces.

Steve was passionate about repairing vehicles. His favorite activities and hobbies also included being out in the forests cutting firewood and harvesting moss rock. He enjoyed working on various cars and trucks, he loved doing this and he spent most of his life pursuing his passion for car repairs. Steven’s journey was deeply rooted in the landscapes and community of northern New Mexio. Steven found joy and purpose in working with his hands. He had a passion for repairing vehicles – a skill that not only showcased his mechanical talent but also reflected his dedication to helping others. Whether it was fixing a neighbor’s truck or tuning up a family car, Steven approached each task with care and pride. His love for the outdoors was equally determining. He spent countless hours in the mountains that surround Las Vegas, cutting firewood and harvesting moss rock. These moments in nature were more than hobbies; they were expressions of his connection to the land, a source of peace, and fulfillment.
