Steve Bame Obituary

Steven Allen Bame, aka "Hippie Steve" passed from this earth on Sept 20, 2025 at the age of 82 after a long illness.

Antique dealer, antler peace pipe maker, fisherman, pool shark and more, he was a force of nature with a fine scientific mind, quick wit, and on occasion a quick temper.

He was extroverted and charismatic and had many friends, especially at the numerous antique shows and swap meets (including Tanque Verde) that he attended for many years throughout the Southwest with his longtime companion, Sue Perlman.

He is pre-deceased by his parents Rolland and Treva Bame and survived by Sue plus his brother Jim and family, his son Ken, daughter Sonia, and grandson Hans.

He will be sorely missed by the many who knew him during his long life.
