Steve Birtzer

Steven J. “Steve” Birtzer, age 80 of Fallon, passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday, January 5, 2023, surrounded by his family.

He was born on May 22, 1942 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the son of Loren and Beverly (McLaughlin) Birtzer. He was a proud veteran of the U S Navy. He was a man of many trades; opened a service station with his dad, drove tractor-trailers, and was a mechanic at NAS Fallon, Nevada, where he retired. 

He was an avid fisherman and hunter. He enjoyed cold beer, watching football, and lifting weights. He was quite the ladies’ man. 

He will be sadly missed by his siblings, Lynn (John) Leirmo; Mike Birtzer, Roxanne (Rick) Staggs; children, Teri Lynn Birtzer; Tanya (Jamie) Crawford their children, Montana and Lance; Tracey (Dan) Olson and their children, Boe and Cordel; Mandy (Ron) Brough and their daughter, Darian; Jess Birtzer; Melissa (Christian) West and their children, Carl, Wyatt, Christina, Lillian, and Brenton and many lifelong friends and many others that called him dad. 

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, Terry and Vic, and his son, Daniel.

A Gathering to Celebrate Steve’s life will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at the American Legion in Fallon, Nevada at 90 North Ada Street from 3 p.m. until the doors close.  It will be a potluck.

Arrangements are under the direction of The Gardens Funeral Home, 2949 Austin Highway, 775-423-8928.

Comment author: EvaComment text: Grandpa, I find myself wondering about you every so often. I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking. Period.Comment publication date: 3/26/26, 10:38 AMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Charlene B JohnsonComment text: This post was released without letting the next of kin or family know first. I am Kelly’s sister, Charlene B Johnson and his daughter is Trisha Benjamin. The Fallon Tribal Police acted unconscionably by not notifying the family first. This is devastating for us especially after speaking a little bit with the officer handling the report and The Chief Juarez. Who refused to give me any further details or to at least let me know the FBI was notified and that they were investigating if my brothers death was foul play or not. My understanding is the FBI is called when a body is found. Tribal Chairwoman please do the family a solid and make sure the finding of my brother was due to suspicious circumstances.Comment publication date: 3/24/26, 1:55 PMComment source: Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Reports Death Under InvestigationComment author: Nicole GalbraithComment text: Farren - I just saw that you aren’t here with us. I am completely in shock! I met you and hung out with you so many years ago with Jer, and Eden. I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you!
