HARMAN, Steven Alan On Monday, Nov. 21, 2011 Colonel (Ret) Steven Alan Harman
took his final flight; while he lost his 2 year battle with cancer, he fought
furiously until the very end. Steve lived a large life, embracing every moment
and a huge hole is left in the hearts of all who knew him. He was born into a
military family on Nov. 5, 1951 in Tacoma, Washington to Wayne and Elizabeth
Harman. He traveled with his family to numerous assignments in both the U.S. and
Europe, and despite ultimately settling down in Orting, WA he had the military
bug. After graduating from Orting High School, Steve received an appointment to
the U.S. Air Force Academy. He made his mark there in football, as a senior
student leader and member of the 7th Squadron (aka Seagram's Seven). On
graduation he was one of the first young officers in navigator training selected
for the prestigious FB-111 aircraft. That assignment was the beginning of a 30
year love affair with flying, the Air Force, and the beginning of a
distinguished career. His assignments covered a wide range of Air Force programs
to include a flying the FB-111 and the B1 Bomber, and program management
assignments in a number of classified and unclassified National Security
programs to include the B2. While he had many roles during his career in the Air
Force he was first and always an aviator. He embraced life in and outside of
work; he was an avid hunter, fisherman, scuba diver, boater, gardener, hiker,
and tech enthusiast. Most of all, Steve loved his family. He is survived by his
SWAMBO (wife), Mary Cooper; daughter, Melinda and husband, Anthony Cavazos; son,
Nathan Harman; grandchildren, Ethan, Elliot, & little Steven; as well as his
parents, Wayne and Elizabeth Harman; brother, David and his wife, Sue Harman;
niece, Melissa Gray, her husband, Jeff, their children, Dallen, Gavin and
Keaton; nephews, Adam and Justin Harman, stepson, Jordan Arrisi and his son,
Rylen.
