Stephen George Knab

On Monday, June 13, 2022, Stephen George Knab, loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away at 74.

Steve was born on June 17, 1947 in Altoona, PA to George Martin Knab and Theresa (Regensperger) Knab. He married his high school sweetheart, Linda, and they raised two children, Carol and Michael.

Steve served in the US Army Signal Corps from 1966 to 1970, including a tour in Vietnam. As part of his enlistment, he received training in communications which began his lifelong career with computers.

Steve and Linda moved across the country to California in 1972 and experienced the beginnings of Silicon Valley as part of the high-tech computer industry. His career spanned five decades, working at many companies and moving to California, Colorado, Florida, and Arizona.

Steve was a life-long gun enthusiast and competed in handgun competitions for a time. He enjoyed golf and loved his retirement home off the 6th Tee at Seville in Gilbert, Arizona. As an avid ham radio supporter Steve was part of the local emergency communications group. He was curious and willing to try new things, from skiing to scuba diving. He loved learning about his family history and adding to his family’s genealogical records.

Steve had a generous soul and was always willing to help others in any way he could. He was a patient teacher and loved to help his friends and neighbors with computer issues. He loved to go on road trips with his family and, later in life, to visit his children and grandchildren. He always made it a point to be present for all family events. Although reserved in nature, his actions revealed a man deeply devoted and loyal to his family and willing to help in any way needed.

Steve was raised in a religious home and later became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Being with his family was always the most important thing to him.

He was preceded in death by both his parents and an infant son, Scott George. He is survived by his wife, Linda Mae (Tremmel) of Bountiful, Utah, and children, Carol Ann McMullin (Kirk) of Bountiful, Utah and Michael Stephen Knab (Kerstin) of West Point, Utah.
