Steven James Newsom

Steven James Newsom, 71, passed away on January 13, 2022. A funeral service will be held on Friday, January 21, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. followed by a visitation until 7 p.m. at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway in West Des Moines, IA.

Steve was born October 12, 1950 in Des Moines, IA to Leonora and Marshall Newsom. He graduated from Hoover High School in 1969 and attended Boone Community College. Steve owned and operated many businesses over the years but his passion was working as a commercial real estate broker at Newsom Realty. Doing the more challenging and complicated cases was Steve’s favorite. He had an inquisitive mind and relished figuring out the various aspects of a project.

In his free time, Steve enjoyed traveling to many locations but Palm Springs and southern Texas were his favorite, where he had made many friends. He cherished time with his daughter, Christie and her family and would frequently sit with the children. With his delightful sense of humor, he always joked that his grandchildren were taking care of him.

Steve was kind, funny, and loved well. He had a remarkable gift of being present and in the moment when he spent time with you.

“Remember, it’s not your monetary wealth that matters in the end, but how many lives you touched on your journey.” We are so thankful for all the lives Steve touched on his journey.

He will be greatly missed by his daughter, Christie (Andrew) Steiger; his grandchildren, Jaxxon, Ellie and Gabe; and his brothers, John (Cheryl), Rod and Bruce Newsom. Steve was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Terry Newsom; and sister, Norma Jean Newsom.
