Obituary from Flintoft's web-site

J. Steven Black passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family and friends on January 6, 2017. Born to Betty and Dean Black on May 2, 1956, in the mountains of North Carolina in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Steve graduated from Hendersonville High School, then North Carolina State with a BSEE degree and later from Seattle Pacific University with an MBA. He married the love of his life, Terri, in 1989, and together they had four sons, Shane 24, Allen 21, Dylan 19 and Evan 17. Terri and Steve built their home in Sammamish and created many great loving memories as they nurtured and played on the property. They also enjoyed traveling as a family to places near and far, especially Sun River and skiing in the mountains when the snow fell.

Steve came to Washington in 1978 to work for the Boeing Company and then started his own company, Delta Graphics, in 1984, where he and Terri met. He joined Microsoft in 2000 and became a senior Director of Manufacturing MTE team, where he helped lead the production of products we use every day.

Steve was a wonderful husband, father, brother, mentor, and friend who had boundless energy and created a lifetime of loving adventures and projects. His time with his family, friends and colleagues was too short, but his impact upon all who knew him will be everlasting and life changing. His greatest accomplishment has been the impact he has had on his four talented and wonderful sons who will, as they go through life, be led by the incredible example their father set for them. Steve will be dearly missed by his family, his friends, his colleagues and all of those whose lives he touched.

Survivors include Terri and their four sons, his sister Deborah Ann Chastain Jackson, his brother, P. Michael Black, both of Hendersonville, his cousin Dale W. Armstrong and wife Nancy, nephew Timothy Walters and niece Jacqueline Walters. He was preceded in death by his brother, Allen Black; his nephew Ryan W. Chastain; his father Hershel Dean Black and his mother Betty Allen Black.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the YMCA Camp Colman. C/O Building Campaign, 909 4th Ave Seattle, WA 98104. Please note on check: In memory of Steve Black.
