Steven Kent Landeen

Steven Kent Landeen, born on May 17, 1950, To Mother Diana and Father Jack in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, California, departed this world on December 26, 2024, leaving behind a legacy woven with adventure, camaraderie, and an unwavering spirit of joy. A cherished son, devoted brother, and passionate spirit, Steve embodied the brightness life has to offer.

For over 28 years, Steve dedicated his energy and creativity to H&H Printing in Burbank, where he held the role of plate maker and production manager. Colleagues knew him not just for his skill and work ethic but for his outgoing nature that brought laughter and companionship to the corridors of industry. His engaging personality made him a beacon to those around him, encouraging friendships that flourished beyond the workplace.

Steve was a man of many passions. An adventurous soul, he found solace and exhilaration in the great outdoors, where his love for fishing and backpacking led him to the Sierra mountains and the winding paths of the Kern River. Memories of days spent exploring these natural wonders filled his heart with both nostalgia and joy. The slices of life spent in the embrace of nature were moments he treasured dearly. He often reminisced about his childhood adventures, recalling fond times with his father Jack, and brother Jeff,  countless trips to Mammoth Lakes, where laughter echoed amid the towering pines. Whether it was a tranquil day fishing with a friend or setting sail from the Malibu coastline, each experience was a cherished part of his narrative.

In quieter moments, Steve indulged in his other great love: literature. An avid reader, he gained knowledge, insight, and inspiration from the written word, often sharing thought-provoking tales with those lucky enough to be in his company. And then there was his tinkering spirit, a hands-on approach to life that saw him often lost in the mechanics of cars, a hobby he lovingly embraced as an art form where precision married creativity.

Though Steve's physical presence may have departed, his spirit continues to thrive among the memories he crafted with those he loved. His adventurous heart and boisterous laughter will forever echo in the canyons and rivers he cherished, bridging the gap between the past and the present, igniting smiles in the souls of all who had the privilege of knowing him. As we navigate the world without him, we find solace in the adventures he inspired and the indelible mark he left on our lives.
