HON. MARK DeSAULNIER
of california
in the house of representatives
Thursday, April 2, 2026
Mr. DeSaulnier. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and service of Stephen “Steve” G. Montgomery.
Area resident. He dedicated his life to spreading joy and sharing his love for food with our community. He began his career in the restaurant industry working as a busboy in Lightners Cafe in Orinda, where he first learned the principles of providing outstanding customer service. He went on to work at Scott's Seafood and Zza's Trattoria, but his most fulfilling professional chapter came when he began working at Italian Colors in Montclair. Here, Steve and his partner Alan cultivated a space for the community to gather, laugh together, and enjoy delicious, high-quality food. Steve took the time to get to know his regulars, knowing not just their favorite dishes or seating preferences, but also about their families and their lives.
Steve is survived by his brothers Rob and Ron; his nieces Ashleigh (Adi) and Alicia (Caroline); his godson Dylan; his nephews Jeffrey (Joycelyn) and James; and his sister in law Julietta.
Steve will be remembered for his kindness. hospitality, and great sense of humor. Please join me in recognizing Stephen G. Montgomery for his many contributions to our community.
