After a long battle with cancer, Steven Reynolds passed away suddenly on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

He was predeceased by his mother, Marietta Reynolds.

He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Elizabeth (Bette) Reynolds; his father, Howard John Reynolds; sister, Susan Rossi; nieces, Adina (Kyle) Campion and Elyssa Rossi; and step-sons, Steven (Joey) Danzig, Michael Marino, and Anthony (Brianne) Marino. He was also a beloved great-uncle to Osis, Isabella, Connor, Aria, Mari. Grampa of Erika, Luke, and Austin. He leaves behind many cousins and dear friends.

Steve was a longtime employee of Harris Corporation, where he worked as a field engineer for 42 years before retiring in 2022. His career took him all over the world. He loved cooking, gardening, working on his koi ponds, stunt kite flying, and crossword puzzles. Steve had a kind heart and always went out of his way to help others. His love for animals was evident, especially through the care and affection he had for his dogs — Stubby, Bo, and Amber. Steve will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, November 25 from 11:00-4:00 pm at Mr. Dominic's at the Lake, 4699 Lake Ave, Rochester, NY 14612.
