Steven Mugavero Obituary
Steve will be remembered for his comedic nature. Using his quick wit and delivery, he transformed ordinary situations into very laughable moments. That will be missed so much at family gatherings. Steve had an early love of music. "Street Legal" and other bands were formed right in the family basement with many days and nights spent practicing there. He was lead singer in all of his bands which is where someone with his "big" personality belonged. Without hesitation Steve would tell you that the best part of his life was having his son Zane. Zane was the light of Steve's life. They spent many Sundays together watching their beloved New York Giants. It was one of their favorite past times. Steve, like many of us, was no angel but his heart was always in the right place. He has now found his peace and can rest comfortably. He will be deeply missed by his family.
Besides his parents, he is survived by his sons, Nicholas and Zane Mugavero; siblings, Frederick (Sue) Mugavero, William Mugavero, James Mugavero, and his "baby" sister, Jeanne (Tony) Deus; and many nieces and nephews.
Byles Memorial Home is assisting the family with the arrangements which are private. Donations in Steve's memory may be made to The Cactus Jack Foundation, PO Box 145, Waterford, CT 06385. www.cactusjackfoundation.org.

Just came across Steve's obit in a Google search for "Street Legal" and am so saddened. Enjoyed many Street Legal shows at the Brick n Wood in New Haven and was fortunate to get to know Steve. He was so fun and funny. Many fond memories. I know that my life was better having had him in it - for instance, I would have never heard of ICE-T if it weren't for Steve. Condolences to his family.

I am so sorry to read this news. My heart goes out to Stevie’s family. I represented Stevie for years and he would come to visit often and if his hair wasn’t perfect he would call instead. We would talk for hours. His two favorite subjects - his boys and his days in the band. RIP Stevie J. You are now at peace!

To the Mugavero Family.
Highway summer days, Steve Scott and I, aka, the Celtics of Patch, making up song parodies of the job while we worked, the Red Rocker, and Street Legal gigs that we went to see at the El 'N' Gee. Steve's humor and manner made it a genuine pleasure to have worked with him, as well as to see him out and about. I am sad at Steve's passing, he was a true gentleman.

My deepest condolences go out to the Mugavero Family! So sorry to hear the news of Steve's passing. I have very fond and happy memories hangin' out and rockin'out with Steve and his family. Shared a lot of good laughs. We both shared a love for music that's for sure. Myself, Steve and Tracy drove my van to the New Haven Coliseum. Remember sitting like 5 rows from the front. Fastway opened up for Iron Maiden. Wow, a killer show and a night to remember. From the early Crash Landing days all the way to the Street Legal days. I still talk about those days and remember them like they were yesterday. Some of the best times of my youth! Thank you for your friendship! Rest in Peace my friend.

Ill never forget seeing him drive by my house on Vauxhall St Ext on his tractor, always found a way to get around!

Im so sorry for your familys loss. Me and Stevie played in a few band such as Promises Promises and Rattle and Hum. We talked regularly for all these years. Wed spend hours talking on phone about everything and nothing. Afterwards ,my stomach would hurt so much from all the laughing we did. We just talked last week and my heart goes out to all his family and friends. We were two peas in the pod, cut from the same cloth, and hes like a brother to me. My heart aches but I know hes selling new pearly gates to St Peter, at a marked up price, and is successful. RIP Stevie J from around the way
