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.

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Pam BitschenauerComment text: Ken, thank you for your kind words about Scott our "Mellon Man". My husband and I used to visit with Scott quite often when we lived in Fallon and then whenever we had the chance to as we passed through town. He was truly a good person and will be sorely missed.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 3:15 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
