Steven C Alton

Steven C. Alton, known to many as Steve, passed away on November 6, 2026, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was born on April 1, 1952, in Grand Island, Nebraska.

Steve graduated from Western High School in Anaheim, California, in 1970. Shortly after high school, he enlisted in the Air Force, where he served as a firefighter.

Steve accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and his church life was an important part of who he was. He attended Hoffmantown Church for many years before later becoming part of New Covenant Church, where he remained very active. His commitment to his faith was a meaningful expression of the values he carried throughout his life.

Steve was preceded in death by his second wife in 2022, and parents, Mervin and Betty Alton, and his older sister Kathy.

He is survived by his sister Ruth of Texas, brother David of Arizona, and by his daughters, Suzanna of Louisiana, Barbara of California, Kjirstin of Texas, and Nathan of Albuquerque and Iowa. May his memory remain a blessing to all who knew him and may those who loved him find comfort in the faith he held so dearly.

A graveside service will be held on December 10, 2026, at 11:15 a.m. at Santa Fe National Cemetery, located at 501 N Guadalupe St., Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501.
