Today, Chula Vista lost more than a historian. It lost a keeper of memory, a guardian of stories preserved by Steve Schonherr.
He saw more than buildings—he heard the echoes of families, the heartbeat of a city finding itself.
Steve knew history was not just dates. It was people, sacrifice, and love passed through generations.
Cancer has taken the man, but not the stories he saved. Every remembered photograph, every honored landmark, every forgotten voice restored—that is his legacy.
Some leave monuments of stone. Steve left memory itself.
Tonight, Chula Vista feels quieter. But in the pages of its history, his spirit remains.
Rest peacefully, Steve Schonherr. The historian is gone, but the story lives on
