Terrance H. Steck
1986 - September 22nd, 2020
1986 - September 22nd, 2020
It is with profound sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Terrance H. Steck, 34, on September 22, 2020. Terrance was born in Los Alamos, NM on April 10, 1986. He is survived by his mother Kathy Steck of Los Alamos, NM; his father Andy Steck and stepmother Deena Steck of White Rock, NM; his brother, Jered, his wife Kiersten, and their two children Ethan (9) and Ainsley (8) of Orting, WA; as well as his extended Steck and Erven families.
Terrance was born and raised in Los Alamos, NM and graduated LAHS in 2004. After high school, Terrance moved to Houston, TX to attend diving school and pursue a career in commercial diving. Terrance worked as a commercial diver with tenure on several offshore oil drilling rigs and did various underwater salvaging jobs in the Gulf Coast region. Terrance loved being around family, and in 2012 he moved to Washington to be closer to his brother, Jered and his family. Ultimately, he returned to settle down in Los Alamos later that year, close to his mother, where he worked in the family business until his passing..
Terrance enjoyed tinkering with firearms, bird hunting, backpacking, mountain biking, and hanging out with friends and family. He was cherished by many and loved old and new members of the community. The loss of such a caring soul weighs heavy on the hearts of his family and friends.
A memorial service will be held at the Los Alamos Methodist Church on Wednesday, September 30, 2020 at 6 pm.
In lieu of gifts or flowers, please make donations to a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program of your choice.

We are so glad we got to speak with Terrance just a short time before his passing. We will always remember the reunion at his Aunt Eileen's house in Coleman, Texas. Terrance had a kind heart, was a good listener and had a cheerful spirit. He was a joy to be around and will be greatly missed.

Terrance was a friend and neighbor for many years. We had a lot of great conversations together as he lived next door. He was always willing to help people and cared deeply for others. He was sensitive and understanding. He was a good friend and I know he will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Terrance's passing. I, and so many friends, were really rooting for him. They say "the brightest stars burn out the fastest" - seems the case for so many of us. May you be comforted with the knowledge that so may cared for Terrance. God bless.

I grew up down the street from Terrance and have known him most of my life. I will always remember the good old days of riding bikes with Terrance, Jered, and the other kids in our neighborhood. My deepest sympathies go out to the Steck family and Terrance's friends.

I have known Terrance for the last 5 years. We spent time together talking about life, and a sincere desire to grow as a man. Facing the challenges of life, he was open and honest with me. As we had a lot in common. In the last year we spent more time together looking at solutions, and a powerful way of living. I considered Terrance to be a good friend and one who was open to growth and change. His loss has hit me very hard. He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend, may spirit carry you forevermore!
