Michael Steinbaum Obituary

Steinbaum, Michael Joseph (April 4, 1963 - February 21, 2019). Beloved husband of Deborah Dubin and adored father of Max and Charlie Steinbaum; cherished son of Harlan and the late Jo Ann Glaser Steinbaum; best friend and brother to Elizabeth (David) Weinstein and Richard (Lecie) Steinbaum, loving son-in-law to Judith and the late Michael Dubin; dear brother-in-law to Eric (Jill) Dubin and Amy Dubin; special uncle to Jennifer (Maxton), Allison, Katherine, Noah, Jessie, Taylor, Rory and Lucas, and great-uncle to Jackson; Mike was an exceptional nephew, cousin and friend. A 1981 graduate of Ladue Horton Watkins High School, where he was recognized as having the best smile by his classmates, Mike earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University with Phi Beta Kappa honors, followed by a law degree at Duke University. After more than a dozen years living in San Francisco, where he and Deb met and started their family, they moved to Clayton, Missouri. Mike worked for a number of start-up companies and spent a significant part of his career as an executive with Apple Core Holdings and their various portfolio companies, working alongside treasured friends. A world traveler, a published author, and the family's acknowledged expert on Gilligan's Island, Mike was incredibly kind, genuine, funny and humble, and his legacy is readily apparent in his two sons, who remain his greatest joy.

I haven't seen Mike since we were all kids playing at WWCC and in Florida. He was always fun to be with and he grew up to be a wonderful husband and father.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Steinbaum family for their loss.

I was so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I haven't been in touch with him for some time, but very much remember his great spirit and kind heart.

I worked with Mike at Axiom in SF many years ago and also did some work with him after we both left. He was always great to work with and a truly kind man.

I am sorry for his family as I know this is a great loss. Thinking of you all and sending love your way.
