Stephen "Steve" Reich
May 20, 1961 - June 15, 2025

Stephen "Steve" Reich, 64, of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away on June 15, 2025, from a heart attack while golfing with friends at the South Hills Country Club.

Born on May 20, 1961, in Washington, D.C., to Arlene Goldstein Reich and Samuel J. Reich, Steve was raised in Pittsburgh's Bird Land neighborhood alongside his sister Hillary, where he formed many lifelong friendships. He graduated from Chartiers Valley High School in 1979 and earned a degree in English Literature from Bucknell University. Following in the footsteps of his father, Sam, and his uncle Tom, Steve pursued a law degree at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where he met his future wife, Tanya.

Steve began his career in sports management under the guidance of his uncle Tom, a legendary agent who represented baseball greats including Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey Jr., and Dock Ellis. Over the course of more than 30 years, Steve built a distinguished career as a hockey agent, representing some of the sport's most iconic names-including Mario Lemieux, Ron Francis, Chris Chelios, Luc Robitaille, and Tom Barrasso. From 1993 to 2000, he served as president of RBRT Sports Group, one of the world's leading hockey representation firms. Most recently, he worked with O2K Sports Management, where he negotiated major contracts such as Vincent Trocheck's deal with the New York Rangers. In the sports management world, Steve was known for his sharp strategic mind and calm presence.

To friends and family, Steve was a loyal and loving companion who cherished peace, relaxation, and joy.

Steve was predeceased by his mother, Arlene, and his uncle, Tom. He is survived by his father, Sam, and stepmother, Diane; his sister, Hillary; his step-brother, Joe; his wife, Tanya; his children, Arlene, Jack, and Estelle; and his son-in-law, Daniel. He was recently proud to become a doting grandfather, known to his granddaughter Sofia as "Baba."
