Remembering Steven Bevan: Beloved Son and Friend, Gone Too Soon at 29
CHANDLER, AZ — It is with unimaginable pain and the deepest sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Steven Bevan, a beloved son, brother, and friend, who tragically left this world far too soon at the age of 29. His unexpected death has left a profound and unbearable void in the hearts of his family and all who knew and loved him.
🌟 A Life of Bright Energy and Unwavering Kindness
Born in 1996, Steven was a remarkable young man whose vibrant spirit, curious mind, and generous heart made an indelible impression on everyone he met. Whether he was lending a hand to a stranger, sharing a laugh with a friend, or comforting someone in pain, Steven radiated empathy and light.
He was known for his quick wit, infectious laugh, and his uncanny ability to find humor in even the darkest moments. Those close to him say that Steven had the rare gift of making people feel seen and valued. He was the kind of person who would go out of his way to check in on someone, who believed deeply in lifting others up—even when he himself was struggling.
🎓 His Passions and Path
Steven attended school in Chandler and went on to pursue a career that reflected his creativity and compassion. He had a passion for technology and design, often immersing himself in projects that combined both innovation and meaning. Whether tinkering with code, building something from scratch, or sketching ideas into notebooks late into the night, Steven brought imagination and precision to everything he did.
Outside of work, Steven was a lover of music, animals, and spontaneous road trips. He had a deep respect for nature and was most at peace on desert hikes under wide Arizona skies or while strumming his guitar at sunset. He dreamed of one day opening a nonprofit to support youth mental health, hoping to offer others the guidance and compassion he often gave freely in private.
💔 A Loss That Words Cannot Contain
Steven’s death has left his family reeling in grief—his parents, siblings, extended family, and close friends are still trying to make sense of a loss so sudden, so immense, that it feels nearly impossible to comprehend.
“Our hearts are shattered,” his mother wrote. “Steven was our light, our heartbeat, and the soul of our family. There are no words strong enough to describe the depth of this pain. But in honoring him, we choose to remember not just how he died, but how he lived. Fiercely, honestly, and with love.”
His passing is not only a personal tragedy for those who loved him, but a heartbreaking reminder of the invisible battles that so many people face in silence.

A candlelight vigil is being planned in Chandler to honor Steven’s life and offer a space for healing and remembrance. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) or other organizations supporting mental health awareness—causes close to Steven’s heart.
