Steven Wayne Torain's Obituary
Steven Wayne Torain of Sacramento left this life unexpectedly on December 25, 2013. He was also known by many other names such as Big Steve, Stevie, Stiggs and Big Country. He was born in Burlington, North Carolina on May 10, 1977 to Linda and Walter Torain. Steven and his family, which included 4 siblings relocated to Sacramento in 1992. He was a proud graduate of Florin High School in 1995 and more recently obtained his degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Information Systems in 2011. He had been planning to return for his Masters degree. Additionally, he had several IT certifications. Recent employers included AT&T, AAA, Fujitsu, Dignity Health and more recently, he was a contractor for Sutter Health.
Steven met his wife Andrea through his job with AAA, and they were married on July 4, 2010. Nine months later, they were blessed with their first son Steven Walter. Almost 2 years later, Jaden Andrew was born on February 4, 2013. His two sons were his proudest achievements, and he loved being a father. His hobbies included going cruising on his motorcycles, alternating between his Honda RR954 and Yamaha Road Star, toying with his gadgets and attending Sacramento Kings games as a season ticket holder, but his favorite past time was following his Washington Redskins. The off season was often spent contemplating and debating how his team could be better next season. He had dreams that his two sons would one day play for the Redskins, most likely as a left and right tackle.
He is survived by his wife Andrea, sons Steven and Jaden, stepchildren David and Annissa, his parents, brother Rodney Torain (Andrea), and sisters Renina (Kenneth), Kristy Torain, and Melinda Torain, nephew Trevon, nieces Brielle and Audrey and 2 family dogs, Rocket and Gismo.
