Stephen Glova II's Obituary
Stephen M. "Steve" Glova, II, age 56, passed away Monday, July 31, 2023 at UH Portage Medical Center following a lengthy illness. Steve was born July 3, 1967 in Garfield Heights, Ohio to his parents Stephen and Dorothy (nee Charnoky) Glova. Steve graduated from Crestwood High School in 1985 and attended Kent State University. Soon after, he entered the work force in the Automotive Industry working as a Sales Manager. He met his beloved wife of almost 25 years, Evelyn M. (nee Hayes) and they married on August 22, 1998.
Steve loved to reminisce about his glory days of playing football and running track at Crestwood High School. He had a strong passion for cars, especially Corvettes. He also enjoyed spending time outdoors doing things such as mowing the lawn and camping, and was considered a Grill Master for his grilling and smoking techniques. If anyone had a problem they knew Steve could help them solve it, no matter what it was. He was a very social person and enjoyed his relationships with people. Steve was employed by Charles Auto Family in Garrettsville where they truly treated him like family. His greatest joy was spending time with his wife and children.
