Obituary
Mr. Steven James Altman, 58, of Phoenix, Arizona died December 22, 2021 in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born June 10, 1963 in Toledo, Ohio to James R. Altman and Donna M. Griner.
Steve was a loving father, godfather, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He worked for the State of Arizona for over 30 years, where he made so many long-lasting and truly wonderful friendships. If you were blessed to have Steve touch your life in any way, then you knew he was always making people laugh at his stupid humor, he was always there to help anyone in need. His loves were Jimi Hendrix, true Rock and Roll, his green army jacket and (without a doubt) the Oakland, Los Angeles, Oakland again and finally the Las Vegas Raiders. He was a #1 silver and black fan for life. He will be missed by many and remain in our hearts forever.
Steven is survived by his daughter Jennie Roe Altman, son Steven Joseph Altman, father James Altman, sister Lynne Altman Hardman, and brother Thomas Altman. He is also survived by his God-daughter Winnie Gutierrez, and granddaughter Rylee O’Neal. He was preceded in death by his mother Donna Mae Griner Rainey.
A Celebration of Life is being planned and details will be given when finalized.

Steve,
You were indeed that one friend everyone should have. You blessed and spoke life into everyone you talked to, and no matter what you had going on you put a smile on someone’s face. You and your stories were one of a kind.You leave a great void in my life. My friend, the pleasure was mine. Rest in Peace.

Just as everyone has shared, my Dad was truly one of a kind. His silly humor either made you laugh or shake your head (or both)! There are so many stories and memories I will cherish forever. I remember take your child to work days and I never thought I’d be working for the state one day too! My favorite part of going into the office was getting to go to lunch with you. I still can’t believe that you are gone. I will miss you and love you always.

Steve, you were the best friend anyone could have. I will always cherish my very first days as an officer where you were kind enough to show me the ropes. Your care, concern, and devotion to Arizona’s toughest juveniles showed in your dedicated approach to their needs. I will always remember our festive Christmas Eves with Jeannie, the kids, and your in-laws. I will always remember your crazy jokes. I will always remember your unwavering love of the Raiders and the fact that you always wore black. You had my back for years and for your beautiful decades of friendship – I am forever grateful. There will never be another like you. Enjoy your well-earned heavenly wings, my Friend.

A true inspiration. Changed my life when I was 16 years old. I will cherish all the memories throughout the years. Especially the trips to Vegas. Glad you were a big part of my life.

Steve, you were one of my first mentors at ADJC in 1994. Your unorthodox style made working together fun. You really cared about the kids under your care. I will also miss the many conversations we had regarding the Raiders and Montreal Canadians. You were a true sports Fan!
RIP my friend.
