Steven Penter Obituary

Steve was born in Sacramento, CA on June 27, 1973. He lived his entire life in Sacramento and attended several local schools. Steve was an avid SF 49ers and SF Giants fan. He loved to sit back in his recliner wearing his teams' fan apparel and watch his two favorite teams. Steve passed in the early morning hours of August 9, 2020, due to complications caused by a heart failure condition he suffered from for a number of years. Steve was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Sandra "Sandi" Moeckly and her husband Sam, his grandparents Emily and Albert Penter, Elberta "Bert" and Raymond Benton, Sr., his uncle Raymond "Ed" Benton, Jr., and his cousin Carrie Lawrence. Steve is survived by his father, George Penter, his children Albert, Raymond, and Leonard, his aunt Sharon Benton, his cousin Michael Benton, a number of other relatives, his childrens' mother Corena, his former wife Kera, and many many friends. A memorial will be planned for a later date.

I will never forget going with Big Steve and Rachel to a 49er v NYG football game years ago, when they were still at Candlestick. I'm a huge NYG fan and I received 3 free tickets. Steve was the biggest 9er fan I know, so he drove. The drive to the game and back was almost as fun as watching the game. My Giants won but Steve was cool about it. On the drive home Rachel and I toilet papered the inside of Steve's vehicle! We even toilet papered him to the steering wheel! (As best we could) We got a lot of looks from people in passing cars! Anyway, Steve dropped Rachel and I back at Ernie's Interlude where I left my car. We all went inside and since I worked there, I talked to my boss about work for no more than 5 minutes. Then Steve walks up to me, giddy as heck, and says he wants to show me something outside. We walk out to the parking lot and the outside of MY CAR is toilet papered! All the paper we used in his car was now on top of mine! So he got me back and that's how I'll always remember him.
