Steven Sass, born on August 15, 1970, in San Pedro, California, passed away peacefully in his sleep due to a heart attack on February 11, 2025, in Long Beach. A cherished father, son, brother, and uncle, Steven’s life was characterized by his deep love for his family and his passion for music.
Steven was the loving father of Natalya Tanner, and he welcomed his son-in-law, Matt Tanner, into the family with open arms. He was a proud grandfather to two boys, Hunter and Greyson, who brought immeasurable joy to his life. He often spent time playing guitar, a hobby that filled his days with creativity and expression.
In addition to his roles as a father and grandfather, Steven leaves behind his beloved mother, Sharon Piper. He is also survived by his sister, Sandra Sass, and his sister Julie Hordyk, along with her husband, Leo Hordyk. Steven's legacy will continue through his nieces, Monique, Davina, and Amber, as well as his nephew, Tyler.
Steven was preceded in death by his father, Harold Joseph Sass, and his brother-in-law, Ernie Tweebeeke. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit will forever be remembered by all who had the privilege to know him. His presence in their lives made a lasting impact, and he will be deeply missed.
