EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — It was been nearly two weeks since El Paso native and former U.S. Marine, Christopher Steven, was shot and killed at a Walgreens in West El Paso.

Anna Kuba married Steven in July 2023. The two met while he was deployed in Okinawa, Japan — Kuba’s hometown.

Since his death, Kuba has been asking the community to financially help her and her family.

According to her GoFundMe, Kuba’s family “faces significant out-of-pocket costs for travel, hotel stays, car rentals and funeral arrangements.”

Now, a proper memorial for Steven is on the horizon.

The family announced his viewing will take place July 15 at 5 p.m. at the Funerari del Angel funeral home in Central El Paso. His full service will be the following day at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church at 8 a.m. on Alabama Street.

The family also confirmed his burial will be Thursday following a service at Fort Bliss Cemetery at 9:30 a.m.

ABC-7 will speak with Kuba and her family about Steven’s impact on them them and what they hope his services will accomplish.
