January 19, 1952 – December 20, 2012
Steven Iacovino passed peacefully at his home in Honolulu, Hawaii on December 20, 2012. He is survived by his loving partner of 25 years, Mark Van Kleeck, and his babies Peanut and Sweetie.
Steve was a longtime San Francisco provocateur, who was equally at home at an Eagle beer bust, a loud rock show, or in the great halls of San Francisco's museums. He and his then-partner David Morris served as preparators at the Asian Art Museum in the 1980s. Born in the Bronx on January 19, 1952, he never lost the distinctive dialect and attitude of his origins.
Since moving to the islands in 1992, Steve was very active in the local AIDS communities and as a dedicated volunteer of the Honolulu Food Bank. He was also an accomplished electronic music composer.
We will all miss his bellowing laugh, incessant joke emails, and big warm heart.
A memorial celebration is being planned for the spring. Email [email protected] for details.
