Steven J. LaMont, of Middleburgh, passed away peacefully, in the comfort of his home, on Thursday, January 1, 2026.
Steve was born 78 years ago in Schenectady, on September 28, 1947 to the late Nellie (Mattice) and John LaMont. He graduated from Middleburgh Central School in 1965 and attended SUNY Cobleskill.
Steve worked many places, lastly as a mechanic with Loretex in Guilderland Center. He enjoyed helping friends and sharing his mechanical prowess but his greatest passion was researching, sharing and preserving local history.
Steve was a member and current President of the Middleburgh Historical Society, current Historian of the Village of Middleburgh, deputy Historian of the Town of Middleburgh, member of the Schoharie County Historical Society and volunteered countless hours in the Middleburgh Library’s History and Genealogy room.
Steve also volunteered his time in his community as a member and Scout Master of Boy Scout Troupe 76 in Huntersland for many years, past Fire Chief, President, treasurer and life-member of the Huntersland Volunteer Fire Department and past Council President and member of the Huntersland United Methodist Church.
And in quiet moments, nothing brought him more peace and happiness than the solitude of his hilltop home, caring for the animals around his property and especially feeding and talking with the chipmunks he tenderly befriended.
Steve is survived by his wife: Anne (Grandbois) LaMont, whom he married on November 25, 1970; his cousins: Lucy Moore, Cindy Diamond, Marie Reynolds, Robert Roney and their families; special friends: Nancy, Dustin and Albert Porter; his sister-in-law: Joan (Delmar) Mowry; his nephews: Jeff (Donna) Mowry, David (Patty) Mowry, Stephen (Carol) Mowry and their families, along with many friends.
While honoring Steve’s wishes for simple and private inurnment in the Middleburgh Cemetery, his family thanks you for remembering him and them through this time.
Steve’s family kindly requests memorial donations in his honor be sent to the Huntersland United Methodist Church, c/o Martha Lindemann, 230 Bridge Road, Berne, NY 12023 or to the Middleburgh Library History/Genealogy Room, PO Box 670, Middleburgh, NY 12122
