Steven "Steve" Michael Hoveln

 OCEANSIDE, Calif. - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Steven "Steve" Michael Hoveln, a beloved husband, father, grandfather and community servant.

Born on March 5, 1959, Steve devoted himself to service in both his personal and professional life. Alongside his wife, Marie Hoveln, he co-founded the local chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit organization that builds and delivers beds to children in need in the community. Previously, he served in the PONY baseball league for over 20 years as a field director. Steve's commitment to helping others extended far beyond North County, including humanitarian work with Builders Without Borders in Tijuana, Mexico.

Steve was proudly employed at Hunter Industries for over 30 years, where he was known for his hard work and camaraderie. Steve's role as a product manager allowed him to connect with people across the globe, and his direct approach made him a source of sage wisdom for many.

Outside of his professional and charitable endeavors, Steve was an avid Padres fan, loved attending NASCAR races and enjoyed camping. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, always putting family and community first. His legacy of service and kindness will continue to inspire those who knew him.

Steve is survived by his devoted wife, Marie Hoveln; children, Jason Hoveln and wife Stacy Hoveln; daughter, Victoria (Vikki) Almond and husband Matt Almond; grandchild, Evelyn Almond; mother, Marie Hoveln; and brothers, Dave (Karla) Hoveln and Ron (Sarah) Hoveln.
