Steven Augustus Gaglianella
Steven Augustus Gaglianella, 66, of Lubbock, formerly of Beaumont, died Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at home. He was born on November 30, 1958, in Beaumont, to Jane Chiappetta Gaglianella and Manuel (“Manny”) John Gaglianella.
My dearest, first born son Steven, passed away on April 22, 2025, at the age of 66. I’m his mother, Jane, and it’s so hard to write these words because life should not happen this way. After all these years, my heart still sees him as my little boy.
Steven grew up with a childish smile and a mischievous personality. I remember Steve loved the Christmas and Easter Holidays. He somehow made himself the star of our family videos as he saw life through a child’s eyes. Things never came easily for him, even at birth. He worked hard to graduate from Lamar University. Manny and I were so proud of him. Over the years he moved to Lubbock, Texas, and I was told he carved out a life for himself working at Acosta / Premium Retail Services, LLC. He made friends, and business relationships. Many of whom have reached out to offer their condolences and help. Knowing this makes me happy.
Steven, you are in my heart until I see you again.
With all my love,
Jane Gaglianella (Mom)
Written with love by Kathy on behalf of our beloved mother.

To the Galianella family
I was saddened to learn of Steve’s recent passing. He trained me for a company that I worked for and helped me with his computer knowledge. He was a hard worker and I wished he had gotten to take those vacations, that he rarely took and had gotten to purchase the home, he was planning to buy. He continued to be a friend and check on me. even after I had left the company that we both worked for. Blessings to his family and friends
Over the decades, I have thought of Steven many, many times, always with admiration for one of the kindest, warmest, sweetest, and most authentic people I have ever known. Steven was full of life and brightened our days. He was tenderhearted and good-natured, generous, unfailingly polite and honest. Steven, you were a true friend to all of us, and you will be dearly missed.
Steven you were an amazing person, boss, friend and Grandfather figure for my daughter. You are dearly missed by us and several at work. May your sole rest in peace.
