On February 11, 2026, Thomas G. Steger entered his eternal home, meeting his Savior and reuniting with family after a battle with cancer. Tom was born on February 6, 1951, in Spokane, Washington where, after 50 years in Seattle, he returned home to Spokane to retire.
After graduating from EWSU with a Bachelor of Arts degree Tom worked at The Boeing Company for 36 years. After a short retirement he worked at Snoqualmie Casino as event attendant/security for the entertainers for 8 years - his favorite job ever. Along with that he and his wife had a craft business for 28 years displaying and selling their crafts at bazaars, craft shows, and Bingo Bags for Tulalip Casino. He did all the initial cutting/sewing work and left the finish work to Jackie. His engaging smile and conversation will be missed not only by the customers but vendors as well. He always had time to chat, answer questions, and help anyone needing it.
His love for people was unlimited. On Sunday's he would go to the local retirement community and call Bingo - making sure he knew each resident's lucky number. He was a volunteer officer of his homeowner's association in Renton for 26 years, President of Washington State Bowlers Association, and helped raise money for Eastside Domestic Violence in Bellevue, WA. This came after his fund raisers while in college, Kissing Marathon and Barrel Racing.
Tom said he had lived a full life, traveling around the world twice, having a successful career and as an avid Bowler being place in the Washington State Bowlers Hall of Fame as well as bowling a perfect 300 game more than once. He participated in the USBC Open Championships for 30 years.
His presence and love of life will be missed by his wife Jackie, sister-in- laws, Tamie & Margo, brother in-law, Larry and numerous nieces and nephews not to mention his many friends. We love you Tom and look forward to the day we reunite in Heaven.

There will be no sorrows there
And no more burdens to bear
No more sickness and, no more pain
No more parting over there
And forever I will be with the one who died for me
What a day, glorious day that will be
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thess. 4:16-18
