Obituary For Steven James Dubbs

Steven James Dubbs

October 1, 1966-April 26, 2024

Steven James Dubbs, 57, Johnstown, formerly of Altoona and Galeton, gained his wings early Friday morning at Select Specialty Hospital, after a 3-year battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Fighting like the true veteran, he fought till his last breath. He was born in Hanover, the son of Audrey (Roberts) Townsend and the late Robert Dubbs.

Steven married Tammy J. Wilt on November 7, 2008 but began his life with her in November of 1999.

He is survived by his loving wife; his stepchildren: Benjamin Bailey and Cassy Adams (Andrew), Kari Limbo (fiancé-Joshua Smith), Trysha Travaglini (Erik); ten grandchildren: Calvin, Jasmine, Tyler, Kaydence, Ryleigh, Savannah, Peyton, Jaden, Jaxon and Enzo; his siblings: Michelle Shirley (fiancé-Tim Stull), Steven Wilt, Kimberly Bogan, Tanya Barrett, Timothy Barrett, Matthew Townsend, Tara Townsend, James Dubbs, Chancy Dell and Fran Dell. Steven is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles.

Steven was preceded in death by his son, Joshua Matthew Dubbs, his father, Robert and stepmother, Ruth Ann Dubbs; also, his grandmother, Betty Dubbs.

He was known to many as “Mr. Google” for his “Hey! Google”, which later turned to “Alexa!” Steven dreamed of one day owning his own computer shop to be able to travel and teach the elderly and special needs community to use computers. He loved fishing but only caught weeds instead of fish! Steven enjoyed gardening and all kinds of auctions. He loved life and especially loved his family and friends. His goal was to get well and take his grandchildren fishing on Lake Erie and teach them how to garden.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are provided by E. Merrill Smith Funeral Home, Inc., 2309 Broad Avenue, Altoona, PA 16601.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made in memory of Steven to the: Cambria County Humane Society, 743 Galleria Dr. Ext., Johnstown, PA 15904.
