Steve’s Story

Site created on February 1, 2019

On  Thursday, January 31st in his home, Steve Hutchison suffered a ruptured aneurysm in his brain. As we all know,  Steve always answers his phone! When a close friend could not get through to Steve, she reached out to me, Jamie Fowler, to check on Steve. Immediately alarmed we went to Steve's apartment where we eventually found him incapacitated on the floor of his bedroom. 


Steve was transported via ambulance to Kaiser Oakland. After a battery of tests, the doctor announced that Steve had suffered a ruptured aneurysm on his left frontal lobe. His condition  required neuro surgery. So he was transferred again to Kaiser Neuro-ICU in Redwood City in the middle of the night. Jamie and Maddy joined Steve in Redwood City around 4am. 


This morning, I met with the surgeon. He explained that Steve needed a craniotomy in order to access the aneurysm. The surgeon expected the surgery to be difficult. Although there are many possible complications with the surgery, Jamie and Maddy believe along with Steve's medical team that the surgery is the best chance that Steve has for survival and recovery.  Steve has a long road in front of him. He will need all of our prayers, support and love. God bless Steve!

Steve’s Memorial

Journal entry by Jamie Fowler —

Hi Everyone!

This Saturday, March 2nd is the day we mourn the loss of our brother Steve and celebrate his life. 

The Memorial begins at 2pm at Lutheran Church of the Cross located at 1744 University Ave. There will not be parking available on site. The Memorial also includes disposition of Steve’s ashes in the church garden.

The service will be immediately followed by a party! Beverages, protein, and dessert will be provided. If you can, please bring a dish to share. However, we ask that you omit green peas from your dish - Steve loathed them!

The party will also include a Yahtzee Tournament (Steve’s favorite party game!) complete with prizes and bragging rights! 

Everyone is welcome!!
