Steven J. Hvozdik

Steven J. Hvozdik, 74, of Port Vue, PA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.

Born on November 23, 1950, in Shreveport, Louisiana and raised in Port Vue, Steven was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He was preceded in death by his parents John Hvozdik and Betty (Arana) Hvozdik-Calvert, his sister Cindy, and his brothers John and Thomas Hvozdik.

He is survived by his beloved wife, with whom he’s been together for 53 years, Dawn, and his children: Steven (Kimberly), Amy, Jeffrey (Tabby), and Patrick (Liz). He leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Tyler, Jacob, Hannah, Haleigh, Ethan, and Cailyn. Steven will also be dearly missed by his brothers Robert (Anita) and David (C.J.), as well as many extended family members, friends, and neighbors who were touched by his life.

Steven was deeply involved in his community. He helped form the Citizen’s Committee, played Santa Claus for local children, and founded a dart league at the Port Vue Legion. Known as a hard worker and a true jokester, he gave generously of his time and energy. He loved reading, and could often be found walking the neighborhood, stopping to share a laugh or conversation with anyone he met.  Steven also attended Port Vue United Methodist Church and worked as both a bricklayer and at Supervalue Warehouse in New Stanton.  

Above all, Steven will be remembered for his giving heart, his humor, and his dedication to family and community. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit lives on in the lives he touched.

Friends will be received in the Daniel F. Bekavac Funeral Home and Crematory, Versailles, on Friday, September 26, 2025 from 3 PM to 5 PM and 7 PM to 9 PM.  A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025 in the funeral home and 12 Noon with Pastor Jody Dausey officiating.
