Steven John Alvarez, of Big Spring, passed away on April 16, 2026. His passing leaves a deep emptiness in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.
Steven was born on August 26, 1964, to Enrique Alvarez and Angelita Heredia. He spent most of his life working in farming and the oil fields, where he was known as a hardworking man who took pride in providing for his family.

Outside of work, Steven enjoyed fishing, camping, and especially working on cars. He found peace in staying busy and joy in life’s simple moments. More than anything, Steven loved his family. He was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and cherished great-grandfather whose presence brought comfort and strength to those around him.
