Steven Gallant Obituary

STEVEN MICHAEL GALLANT, 58 of Revere, MA formerly of Reading, MA passed away on September 6, 2023 after a brief illness and a long struggle with addiction. Steven was born on May 21, 1965 in Salem, MA. As a child, he was active in the Immaculate Conception parish serving as an altar boy while attending the Immaculate Conception School. He played CYO basketball and Little League baseball before attending Revere High School where he often headlined the varsity basketball squad. He earned his bachelor degree from Fitchburg State and rose to senior vice-president at Boston Financial Data Systems. Although Steven was blessed with a sharp mind and happy disposition, he struggled to believe in himself. Despite the love and support of his family and friends, Steven was never able to see himself as others did. He fought on through several attempts at sobriety, hoping to be the husband and father he wanted to be. Eventually his body succumbed, and he could fight no longer. Steven was the son of the late Joseph V. and Constance E. Gallant of Revere. He is survived by his children Mark Anthony and Madeleine of Peabody, Isabella and her fiance Joe Merullo of Salem. He also leaves the love of his life, Marissa of Peabody. Steven was the brother of Paul V. and Jean M. Gallant of Halifax and Mary Ann and Stephen O'Leary of Reading. He was preceded in death by his brother Joseph "Peter" the husband of Kathy Gallant of West Roxbury and his brother Mark D. the husband of Dianne Gallant of Barnstable. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews as well as dear friends.
