Steven Joseph Prinzi

August 23, 1950 - July 11, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Steven Joseph Prinzi, who left us peacefully on Friday July 11, 2025 at the age of 74.

Steven was born on August 23, 1950 in St. Louis MO, the son of Anthony and Antoinette Prinzi. He was raised in Maryland Heights, MO where he learned the importance of hard work, integrity, and kindness—values that he carried with him throughout his life. These principles shaped the man he became, and were reflected in everything he did, from his career to the way he nurtured relationships with those he loved.

Steven was a skilled carpenter, whose craftsmanship left a lasting impact on many. With a keen eye for detail and a deep commitment to his work, he took great pride in his work, leaving behind a legacy of functional beauty in the homes and spaces he worked on.

In his personal life, Steve was an avid fisherman and golfer. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was spending a quiet afternoon on the water or sharing laughter and stories with his family. Above all, he cherished the time spent surrounded by loved ones. His warm spirit, humor, and love for life will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him.

Steven leaves behind a loving family who will continue to carry his memory in their hearts. He is survived by his children, Jason Prinzi and Nicole Prinzi, his cherished grandchildren, Cassondra (Joshua) Thompson, Emily, Abbey, Max, Jack and Maggie Prinzi, his great-grandchildren, Taylor and Remy Thompson, Theodore and Thomas Prinzi. His legacy lives on through them, and the love he shared with each of them will be felt for generations to come.

Memorial donations in Steven’s name may be directed to Evelyn’s House, whose compassionate care and support made all the difference during his final days.

Uncle Steve was a unique character. Our family was always around him growing up but I really treasure the couple of years in college when I worked for him laying floors. It was more like carrying all the heavy stuff and doing the work nobody liked to do but, hey, I had no skills so that is all I could do at first. He was a really good boss. He answered every question I threw at him and he allowed me to play quality control as he was setting tile. I always respected his hard work at an age when most were at a desk somewhere. He took a lot of pride in what he did. I still use some of his sayings with my direct reports. He was adamant about letting him know if we made a mistake no matter how bad. He would always say that if he knew about it he could fix it 90% of the time just don't hide it. Take accountability. On the other side, we had a lot of laughs together. It was a lot of fun working with him and the family and his crew. Maybe we should have rethought getting paid at Hot Shots each Friday but it was a good time in life and I am glad I got to spend so much time together during those years. I still think of him and use his line "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes". I'll miss you, Steven. -Doug
