Steve Hallman Obituary

Steve Hallman Steve went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on September 9, 2006. His struggle with cancer ended peacefully at home in Tucson with his wife and family by his side. Steve is survived by his wife, Diana; father, Ellis; step-father, George; brothers, Jim and Stu; sister, Barb; stepchildren, Jennifer, Philip, and Becky; grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Steve was born in Lebanon, Oregon but grew up in Tucson. He was proud to have served in the United States Navy. And the joy of his life was to have met and married his wife, who, as he put it, "graciously shared her life and family with me." Steve loved his family and was a dear and beloved grandfather. Steve also loved, and had a natural talent for, music. He delighted in playing drums to the glory of his Lord with his church praise team. Steve wrote and performed guitar solos expressing his deep gratitude and awe at the mercy he experienced through Jesus. Steve was a humble and kind man, easily acknowledging the Lord in all his work - "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Steve's body was buried with military honors at Eastlawn Palms Cemetery. A memorial celebrating Steve's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 30, 2006 at Crosspoint Community Church, 7901 South Rita Road, Tucson.

Diana, I am so sorry about Steve's illness and death. But I am so thankful that God put you two together ... for I know you were the joy of each other's life. Steve rented a room from me years ago in exchange for home repairs and painting... which he did with tedious care. His love of the Lord was heartfelt and his sense of humor was refreshing. I didn't get to attend his memorial, but you may feel free to call me if you want some time. Big hugs, and lots of prayers. God is faithful!

We were so sorry to hear about Steve's death. He and Diana visited and stayed with us in Washington state a few years ago. Steve, eager to do something, repaired the 4 toilets in our house. Needless to say, we really appreciated his help. We got to know Steve during that short visit and totally enjoyed his warm personality and joy for life.
