STEVEN 
GERARD 
PARDO, 50, of 
Livonia, died sud-
denly on June 27,, 

2020.
Steve is survived by his 
wife of 18 years, Leslie 
Kollin Pardo; his parents, 
Marilyn and Paul Pardo; 
sister, Christine (Scott) 
Updike; in-laws, Arnold and 
Sharyanne Kollin; brothers-
in-law, Andy (Elena) Kollin 
and Jimmy (Sheryll) Kollin; 
nieces and nephews, Max 
Kollin, Elijah Kollin, Katelyn 
Wehrle, Sophie Kollin, Quinn 
Wehrle, Lily Kollin, and Carly 
and Emma Updike.
Steve was a veteran jour-
nalist for more than 25 years, 
spending more than 22 years 
with the Detroit News, covering 
high-profile legal cases includ-
ing the controversial Detroit 
water and sewer shutoffs 
of 2014. During his tenure 
with the News, Steve was the 
Breaking News Editor, Food 
Editor and, in 1999, while 
covering holiday shopping at 
Fairlane, met a lovely young 
public relations executive and 
his future wife, Leslie Kollin.
This was a man who loved 
life. Steve didn’
t just cook, he 
entered and won high-stakes 
chili cookoffs. He won two 
Greek Iron Chef competitions. 
He wisely became a compe-
tition judge to taste the area’
s 
best BBQ, fruit pies and pizza. 
He was an officiant at numer-
ous weddings. Steve bravely 
wore a kilt to his wedding, a 
top hat to all formal events 
and a red clown nose when he 
went to the circus.
In Steve’
s passing, the Pardo 
and Kollin families have lost 
a person who loved family 
above all, a man who created 
traditions with nieces and 

nephews and always found 
ways big and small to connect 
and help with parents, aunts 
and uncles and distant rela-
tives. In fact, no matter the 
distance, Steve found a way to 
visit and celebrate family with 
relatives worldwide. 
A private funeral was held 
on June 30, 2020, officiated 
by Rabbi Paul Yedwab of 
Temple Israel. To best honor 
the memory of Steve Pardo, 
don’
t take things too seriously; 
spend time with your fami-
ly and, if you feel compelled, 
please donate to the charity 
of your choice in Steve’
s 
name. Arrangements by Ira 
Kaufman Chapel.

married for 73 years until his

songs and poems for every 
occasion.
