Allen Arthur Steckenberg

VIRGINIA BEACH – With heavy hearts and profound respect, we commemorate the vibrant life of Allen Arthur Steckenberg, affectionately known as “Steck,” who passed away on July 19, 2025, in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Born on August 28, 1941, in New York, Steck lived a full and inspiring 83 years. Steck was a proud New Yorker who carried the spirit of his beloved city wherever life led him. Over 30 years ago, he ventured south to Virginia Beach with his late parents, where he continued to spread his infectious enthusiasm for sports. Known for his unwavering love of baseball, he cherished the thrill of attending live games, often choosing to watch an exciting match over other commitments.

Beyond his love for sports, Steck thoroughly enjoyed Chinese food and the presence of familiar friends and support staff.

Steck’s life was a testament to embracing one’s interests wholeheartedly. Though he is no longer with us, his enthusiastic attitude for sports will continue to inspire all who knew him. May his memory be a blessing.

A graveside service, under the direction of Altmeyer Funeral Home, was officiated by Rabbi Dr. Michael Panitz.
