Steven Alan Kostus was born in Kansas City, Missouri on January 3rd, 1977, and passed away on July 13, 2026.  He was preceded in death by his father, Alan Kostus.

He will always be remembered and loved by his surviving mother, Marcia Kostus, brother Andrew Kostus, sister-in-law Ashley Kostus, his nephew Ayden Kostus and nieces Fallyn and Reghan Kostus. Along with family, he will hold a special place in the heart of his friends and co-workers. 

Growing up, Steven attended Maranatha Academy, and after graduation, attended Texas Christian University. After graduating from Texas Christian University, Steven moved back to Kansas City to start his career in the insurance business. He worked with a few different companies, focusing on the accounting and reinsurance aspect of the business. When he was not working, he thoroughly enjoyed watching and attending sporting events, especially the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a season ticket holder for the Kansas City Chiefs for over 20 years, which always brought him great joy to watch the games and be a part of the tailgate group. One of his favorite memories was watching the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. 

Steven will be greatly missed by everyone, but we find comfort knowing that he is in heaven with his dad, watching over the family.

The visitation will be held at Lenexa Baptist Church on July 24th, from 10-11 am. The visitation will be followed by a memorial service beginning at 11 am.
