Steven McCoy Obituary

Steven Lynn McCoy (63) passed away January 10, 2021 at his home in Ignacio, CO. He was born December 14, 1957 to parents Harry Lee and Nara Jo McCoy. Steve will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, and friend to all who knew him. He was a kind hearted man, always willing to lend a hand. The greatest joys in his life were his family, animals, and enjoying a cup of coffee and good conversation. His warm loving smile will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him. He is preceded in death by Harry Lee & Nara Jo McCoy. He is survived by his daughter Sammie Jo, granddaughter Sofia Noto, siblings Randy McCoy, Dave McCoy, Tim McCoy, Dixie Cook; 7 nieces and nephews; partner Dorothea Valdez, her 3 daughters, and 8 grandchildren. He was a man of few words and a heart of gold and will be missed greatly.

Rest easy Papa Coins.

Steven, Steven, Steven, I just can't believe you're gone. You left so suddenly. I feel fortunate to have had you as my brother-in-law for so many years. I was able to experience what a wonderful, caring, and loving person you were. Your sense of humor made me laugh so many times. You always knew how to put a smile on my face. I miss the way I'd walk up to you and you'd be singing a country song. We 've been through so much together. You were always willing to lend a hand no matter what it was for. I can still feel your hugs and the way you would mess my hair and tell me "everything will be ok Tam." I'll never forget the 9 puppies in my closet. You will truly be missed, I loved you so much. I can only say that Heavenly Father must have needed another angel and he called upon you for the job. We'll see you again Steven, this is what I believe in my heart to be true. So until then Steven let me send my love and appreciation to you for who you were. I'm going to miss that wonderful, kind, loving and giving person in my life. And my love and prayers to the family. May Heavenly Father Bless us all.

I had the pleasure of working with Steven when he came to the HS as our daytime custodian. I could always count on Steven to help me and my kitchen staff with anything we needed, and always with a smile. We had a lot of fun and some good laughs. Rest easy Steven. You are missed every day. You left us much too soon.

Prayers for family and friends that are here on earth. Steve was the kindest and most gentle man I have ever known. He was a pleasure to work with, but most importantly a great friend. He would have given you shirt off his back or the shoes on his feet of you needed them. Always a gentleman and a helping hand. Steve you are and always will be missed! Give my girl a hug up there and fly high my friend..

Hey brother, I still cannot believe that you are no longer with us I just can't seem to accept losing you but I guess God knew what he was doing when he took you sInce they say he takes the good ones before their time and you my friend were definitely one of the good ones! You meant so much to me personally as well as the rest of my family. I can't walk through my house without thinking of you especially sInce your the one that helped us put down our carpet, remodeled our bathroom and anything else that we called on you brother Motors and Garrett to help us with you just don't find friends like that everyday you were more than a friend and ill never forget you. May you rest in peace with the angels my friend and until I see you on the other side my God grant you the peace that you deserve!
