Steven C. Alvik

Steven (Steve) Douglas Meyers was born to Steven and Priscilla (Maciejewski) Meyers in
Amherst, New York, December 9 th , 1974. After Steven’s biological father’s death Steven was
adopted by Priscilla’s second husband in marriage, Scott Christian Alvik. It was Steven’s desire
at the time of his adoption (age 8) to change his name to Steven Christian Alvik.
Throughout Steven’s lifetime he called various states home. Never the one to sit still for very
long his life journey took him from New York to Northern California, Southern California, Illinois,
New Jersey, Florida, and eventually back to Illinois which he recognized as home despite the
cold winters.
Steven flourished as a carpenter taking on remodeling jobs and creating beautiful one-of-a-kind
pieces of furniture using reclaimed wood as his medium of choice. His talent was recognized by
many, and he always had time to help anyone out in need. His heart was huge.
As his journey in life continued true love touched his heart and in June 2021, he proposed to
Kelly Deering asking her to become his wife. He was giddy with excitement as the proposal
drew near, and everyone in his circle of family and friends who were privy to his secret knew
that Steven was deeply in love with Kelly.
Their September 24 th , 2022, wedding will never come to be due to Steven’s untimely death that
literally soared his soul to heaven on Sunday, August 7 th , 2022. His huge heart of love and talent
that gave unconditionally throughout his life failed to thrive that morning.
Steven passed away in Naperville, Illinois Sunday, August 7 th , 2022, at the age of 47. Steven was
