Stephen Ray Wagner

battle with COVID-19.

He was born to parents Joe Wagner and Thelma Louise Wagner Meyer on July 29, 1953 in San

Antonio, Texas.

Steve brought so much light and laughter into the world. He was a loving husband, father,

Papaw, brother, uncle, nephew, friend and made everyone feel like family. Steve was a man of

God who led his family in faith and would pray the rosary daily. He was a selfless man and

would do whatever he could to help others. Steve loved spending his time sitting on the balcony

at Rockport watching the ships go by, escaping to the “Beer Lease”, and drinking White

Russians at Margaret’s Playhouse. You could find Steve behind the BBQ pit smoking up his

famous brisket or behind the blender making margaritas for everyone. One of his greatest joys

was spending time with his four wonderful grandchildren. Steve was the hardest worker and

devoted 30 years to Accurate Pest Control. He was able to retire and enjoy every second of the

last year relaxing and spending time with his family and friends.

Steve was married for almost 46 wonderful years to the love of his life, Diane, who survives him.

He is also survived by daughters Kristy Dahlin and husband Kevin and children Kylie and

Kaden, Tiffaney Wagner, Lindsey Moore and husband John Paul and children Aubrey and

Wyatt, and son Chad Wagner. Steve was also survived by siblings Richard Wagner and wife

Wanda, Betty Ann Westerlund, Margaret Wagner, sister and brother-in-laws Karen Wagner,

Cheree Walts, Darlene Brymer and husband David, Renee Hebert and husband Ricky, Julie

Lerma and husband Dan, and numerous beloved aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and

friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Thelma, father and mother-in-law

Henry and Joy Ann DeCleene, and siblings Charles Wagner, Larry Wagner, Elaine Wagner

McPherson, and Wayne Wagner.
