Steve’s Story

Site created on August 5, 2019

Welcome to Steve's CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.  


On July 31st after a fall, our dad was admitted to Tacoma General ER and was given a full workup, including head CT.  The CT revealed a large mass on his left frontal lobe and further tests were ordered.  After completion of multiple MRI's it was diagnosed as a primary (not in any other areas of his body) inoperable Glioblastoma.  This is an agressive terminal brain cancer with a life expectancy of 1-8 months. 


The left frontal lobe affects your motor skills, speech, and many other aspects of your day to day functions. If you are wanting to get ahold of Steve, please be aware that he is having speech difficulty including, but not limited to,  slurring and aphasia (word searching or inability to find the right word due to damage of the brain). 


We appreciate your love and support through this difficult time.

Love, The Talt Family

Celebration of Life- Steve Talt
Sunday, February 16, 2020, 1-5pm at VFW Ballard (Seattle)

Please join us in celebrating the life of our dad and husband, Steve Talt, in the way he would have wanted it - with friends and family in an informal setting. Snacks and drinks will be provided, and everyone is welcome to come anytime between 1 and 5.

While the VFW is a large hall, parking is slightly limited at this location, but inexpensive parking is also available at the nearby Ballard Locks or Nordic Museum (or maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find street parking).

We thank everyone for all the outpouring of support and love over the last few months, and hope to see you all at the party ❤️

VFW Ballard is located 2812 NW Market St, Seattle WA 98107.
