It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Kevin David Steer of Pasadena, Texas. Kevin was born on June 8, 1961 and died at the age of 61 on August 8, 2022.

Kevin was raised in Franklin Park, NJ by his parents, William and Marie Steer. He was the youngest of three children and grew up with his siblings Tom and Diane. He graduated from the culinary school at Somerset County Vocational High School in 1979 where he developed his passion for cooking.

Kevin had a long career as a truck driver, beginning in New Jersey for Hermann Trucking and settling in Texas driving for RPS, followed by Chiquita. He most recently drove OTR for Harcros Chemicals. Kevin was a dedicated driver and loved his work family.

Kevin waited a long time before meeting and marrying his best friend, Edie. They married on April 1, 2015 and he welcomed three step-children into his life, Allison, Paige and Seth.

Kevin had a passion for grilling and it was not unusual to find him on the patio with four different meats on the grill and a cold beer in his hand. He was truly in his happy place in front of the grill. Kevin and Edie were lucky to be surrounded by their close knit group of friends. Kevin, although born and raised in New Jersey, loved living in Texas and could easily have been mistaken as a native.

Kevin was preceded in death by his parents, William and Marie Steer of Franklin Park, NJ. He is survived by his wife, Edie of Pasadena and step-children, Allison, Paige and Seth of Victoria, Texas. He is also survived by his brother, Thomas Steer of Littleton, NC and his sister, Diane Nixon (James) of Somerset, NJ and nephews Luke Steer, James Nixon and niece Stacey Nixon Yalenti.

The family will receive friends at a memorial gathering from 2:00pm to 4:00pm on Saturday, August 13, 2022 at Peevey Funeral Home, 12440 Beamer Road, Houston, TX 77089.
