Steve was known for his strong work ethic and his belief in doing every job the right way. He stayed busy, took pride in his craft, and brought energy and humor to every role he held.

He is survived by his wife Shirley Johs; children, Miranda (John) Stanley, Derek (Jamie) Olson, and Layne (Shae) Johs; grandchildren who lit up his world: Aisha, Aiden, Peter, Paige, Nolan, Jocelyn, Vivian, and Camille; along with his great‑granddaughter, Aleia; He was also a loving and devoted brother/brother-in-law to; Florence (Frank) Wangler, Helen (Leonard) Berger, Jo Jordan, Al Huber, Shirlene (Scott) Schafer, Carleen (Dan) Scherr, Ron (June) Larson, Wayne (Mary) Larson and Steve (LuAnn) Larson.

Family was the center of Steve’s life. He was known for his steady presence, his generosity, and the pride he took in watching his children and grandchildren grow. No matter the sport or the scoreboard, Steve was always their biggest fan. His unexpected passing leaves a deep ache in the hearts of those who knew him, but his warmth, humor, and unwavering love will continue to guide them.

Steve’s legacy lives on in the family he cherished and the countless moments of joy he created. He will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.
