Life Story & Obituary

Steven grew up in Omaha, NE, and attended the District 66 School System. After schooling, he went to work for a local lawn sprinkler service and also had a small business for K9 waste removal. Steven had many good friends from school that hung out with him through the years.

Steven was a die-hard Penn State college football fan, and also an avid NFL and college football fan growing up. He enjoyed video games, basketball, shooting pool, camping, fishing, and grilling out. Many times were spent golfing with cousin Josh. Many times were spent with Grandma Bonnie at De Soto Bend Wildlife Refuge (to see the Canadian Geese) in Mo Valley, IA and The Maple Leaf Cafe for breakfast in Blair, NE.

Steve suffered from seizures and had many brain injuries along with other health conditions that took him from us, way too early. Those who knew & loved him will miss him deeply.
