As a child Steve lived in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Minneapolis, Minnesota for a short while before the family returned to Crookston, Minnesota where he grew up. Steve continued living in Crookston and the surrounding area as an adult, except for a short while when he lived and worked on a Ranch in Montana. Steve held many jobs around the area, which included Phoenix Industries, NA Ultrahigh LLC and for many area farmers.

Steve was a Devoted Father and a Loving Son, Brother, and Uncle. Along with that he was a Beloved Friend and Family Member to all; we could always count on him to make us laugh. He was a down to Earth Country Boy who loved the simple life and enjoyed having fun with friends and family; especially around a campfire. He always gave more than he took and was always willing to help a person in need. He was a man who could not sit still and always had a project going. He was a hard worker who would do any job to take care of his Family. Steve loved fishing, camping, hunting, being outdoors and spending time with his family and friends.

The world lost a Great Man; Steve is going to be deeply missed by all his Family and Friends and will always be loved.
