Steven William Gass Sr.

Steven William Gass, age 64, passed away on November 1, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas, surrounded by the love and memories of those who meant the most to him.

Born on April 21, 1962, Steve lived a life centered around family, hard work, and the things he enjoyed most. He dedicated many years of his life to serving others as a firefighter, a career that reflected his commitment, strength, and willingness to help those in need. He also loved being a truck driver and dreamed of having his own truck one day. After retiring, he enjoyed spending time with his family and embracing the moments that made life meaningful.

Above all, Steve was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend, and so much more. His family was the center of his world, and he took pride in the generations that followed him. He leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue through his children, grandchildren, and all those whose lives he touched.

Steve was preceded in death by his father, Ino B. Gass; his mother, Dorothy Gass; his sister, Janice Achilles; and his brother, Gary Gass.

He is survived by his best friend and loving wife, Deborah Gass; his son, Edward Fisher and his daughter Lia; his daughter, Amanda Mitchell, her husband, Johnny Mitchell, and their children, Dakota, Rayland, and Leland; his son, Steven Gass II, his wife, Melissa Gass, and their children, Leelah and Lukka; and his daughter, Ashley Coldewey, her husband, Ryan Coldewey, and their children, Hayes and Whitley.

Outside of family, Steve found joy in the things that brought people together. He was a proud University of Texas football fan and a dedicated Houston Astros fan. He loved going to concerts with his family and friends. Whether cheering on his favorite teams or simply enjoying time with the people he loved, these interests were part of the memories that made him who he was.

Steve will be remembered for his years of service as a firefighter, his love for his family, and the lasting impact he made on the lives of those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, but the memories he created, the family he cherished, and the love he shared will live on for generations.
