Major Abeita served our country in the United States Army and was currently the Assistant DSS Officer with the New Mexico Army National Guard stationed in Albuquerque. He also was currently serving with the Guard as a community liaison and meeting local needs in response to the Covid Pandemic. Steve was a member of the Catholic Church. He enjoyed 80s movies, listening to music while working outside, and was a huge history buff.  His humor and laugh will be greatly missed.  Steve will always be remembered for his immense kindness and generosity.
