He was predeceased by his parents Stephen A. Evans and Ethel R. (Reed) Evans; in-laws Arthur D. Maloney and Helena M. (Woodland) Maloney.
Stephen was born August, 1941, in Upper Darby PA. He spent summers in Ocean City, NJ where he enjoyed sport fishing on the family boat and swimming at the local public pool. Steve spent quality time with his dad (Steve Sr.) playing with his model train and village set. When he was young he learned to play the clarinet and saxophone which inspired him to start a band in high school with his friends called The Starlighters. He also participated in the high school band and theater, attaining a couple of lead roles.
After high school, Steve attended MIT where he received a BS in Physics and an MS in Nuclear Engineering under a special fellowship from the US Atomic Energy Commission. Upon graduation he was hired by Rocketdyne division of North American Aviation (which became Rockwell then Boeing). His career in rocket engines spanned the Apollo and Shuttle eras. While at Rocketdyne Steve obtained his PE in Mechanical Engineering and attended UCLA's Executive Engineering Program. He was on a number of national committees with JANNAF, NASA, AIA Technology, and the Space Technology Advisory Committee. Following retirement from Boeing, he taught classes and consulted for H. Silver and Associates.
Steve was a brilliant, generous, thoughtful, helpful, funny, caring, and spiritual man. When his daughters were young, Steve participated in AYSO and helped start Region 71 in Woodland Hills, served as Chief Referee, and later Commissioner. After wife Sheila went to work for Fr. John H. Hampsch's (noted author, theologian, and teacher) ministry Steve also became involved and served on the board for several years. Steve was an avid reader of a variety of genres like science fiction, comics, thrillers, political themes, economics, and enjoyed interpreting and discussing the religious meanings in some popular stories from authors such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. He loved a variety of music genres like big band, some broadway musicals, country, and many others. Some of his favorites were Glenn Miller, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Phantom of the Opera, and much more. Steve enjoyed sailing with Sheila and friends at Marina del Rey where he was a member of the Santa Monica Yacht Club and sailboat racing in Ventura. Steve and Sheila loved to travel together to foreign destinations, Hawaii, US domestic locales, but his favorite was the 25 plus years of VRBO visits to San Diego every summer with family and friends. Steve loved to spend time with his grandsons and enjoyed taking them on outings to Disneyland, the beach, and family vacations, as well as supporting them at their sporting events.
Funeral arrangements have been made for April 7, 2022, at 12pm at San Fernando Mission in Mission Hills, CA.
