Age 59, of Vadnais Heights, passed away on June 23, 2025 surrounded by those who loved him. Stephen is survived by his beloved daughter, Elizabeth (Liz); future son-in-law, Brandon; father, Roger; siblings, Leann, Brian, Cheryl, Renee; and special friend, Lynn. He is preceded in death by his mother, Evelyn.
Steve was an avid outdoorsman, who loved hunting, fishing, and spending time at his hunting camp (his happy place). Where he loved watching the wildlife and sitting by a firepit with a glass of wine, enjoying the peace and quiet of nature and the great outdoors. His love of nature was also evident at home, with his beautiful yard and vegetable gardens. Steve also found joy in cooking and sharing his creations with others. Smoking wild game or grilling his signature heart attack burgers was something he deeply enjoyed.
Steve was the owner of Property and Building Services, Inc, providing home and commercial inspections within Minnesota. His knowledge and expertise will be missed by his clients and real estate agents in the community.
We would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated medical team at St John’s ICU, who compassionately cared for Steve during his last 9 days on this earth. The care and support they provided Steve and those of us who sat by his side was remarkable. He will be deeply missed and forever loved. Steve’s life will be celebrated with a private family service.
I would say you were bitten by the Mother Nature bug right then!
RIP: Steven, thanks for the memory
Love your cousin Sandy Bani(Lancette)
Ah the camping trips. You were such a a little devil but also the sweetest charmer that ever lived. We had so much fun on those trips. So much freedom. You will be missed by everyone you touched. Say hi to your Mom for me and give my Mom and Dad a hug too.
