Steven Andrew Chavez

Steven Andrew Chavez, known affectionately as Steve or Chunk to his friends and family, passed away on June 3, 2024, at the age of 35. Born on July 22, 1988, in El Paso, Texas, Steven was a beacon of kindness to all who knew him. He was the devoted son of Steven Anthony Chavez and Marisela Chavez, a loving brother, and a cherished uncle. His warm presence and passionate spirit will be profoundly missed.
Steven grew up surrounded by the love of his family, including his siblings Samuel and his wife Sonia, William and his wife Julie, John and his wife Ashley, and Valerie and her husband Evan. His nieces and nephews, Lisander, Eliana, Aurelius, Margaret, Jack, and Penny, adored their Uncle Steven for his playful spirit and the loving attention he always showed them. He was also a caring grandson to Ralph Molinar and Maya and Jaime Chavez, who instilled in him the values of family and compassion that he carried throughout his life.
A man of many talents and interests, Steven's passion for music was evident to anyone who heard him play the saxophone, as he filled the air with the soulful sounds of jazz, a genre he adored alongside his love for playing the piano. Steven's creative spirit also found expression in art and writing, where he captured the beauty of the world in both color and words.
Steven's enthusiasm for football was unmatched, especially when cheering for his beloved Dallas Cowboys. Game days were a time of joy and camaraderie, as he gathered with friends and family to root for his team, sharing in the highs and lows of each season.
Family and friends will honor and celebrate Steven's life at the Evans Life Celebration Home-3 Newport Drive (Rts 23 and 24) -Forest Hill on Friday, June 7 from 5-7 PM.
