Steve Mallett Obituary
"Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call."
On May 1, Steve Mallett heard Mother Ocean's call and passed away in his sleep. Steve was a brilliant man and musician - a singer, a guitarist, a bassist, and an accomplished songwriter - "Dos Tacos" is his song. He lived life on his own terms - picking, singing, fishing, and being with lifelong friends. He had three wonderful children - Tory, Sarah, and Chris, and three grandchildren, Ashton, Iain, and Corina, all who totally rock a Karaoke stage - Steve's genes. Steve Mallett was one of a kind - a Southsider who was as "puro San Antonio" as they come. He will be missed. The world will be a little less interesting and the music a little less sweet. In Mallett style, a "celebration of life" will be held at Floore's Country Store on May 19th, starting at 3 PM. Bring your instruments, your memories, and your open hearts. That's how Steve wanted to sail away.

Steve was a wonderful brother-in-lawinteresting, brilliant, chill, funny and a wonderful musician. Some of my best times with Steve were when he and Faye stayed with Keith and me on Logan Street in Round Rock, when I worked with those crazy guys for a spell, attempting to do some sort of sheet rocking (which I knew nothing about), laughing over Spinal Tap and Strange Brew and making music as a family when Mom and Dad (Faye and Morris)lived on Mesa Drive. Please Please Me and The Boxer were my very favorites. I remember when my sister and best friend Faye fell in love with Steve and his music; sure enough, her dream was realized. Thanks, Steve! Sarah, Chris and Tory are such wonderful legacies you leave, and the memories of you in our family.......I hold ever so tightly. I am crying, but smiling now. Keep on playing, Music Man.

Steve was my brother-in-law and a wonderful friend. He was always true to himself and to his art. Steve was extremely funny, and I have far too many memories to recount. Thank you Steve for giving us Tory, for fulfilling so many of Faye's dreams, for letting me sing "Please Please Me" with you; it surely was fun. See you on that big stage in heaven someday--keep smiling. Love 'ya, Mary

A good friend and great musician, we followed Steve's career as fans and friends from the early 1970s. We miss that music and that friendship.
