Dodge Education Association. He was also a charter member of the Fort Dodge Home Rule Committee and an organizing member of the IHAF: The International Horse Archery Festival. Steve was a devoted father and mate. He was a kind, unassuming, protective, soft spoken, calm, and described by many as a gentle giant. He was well traveled, smart, curious, organized, always there to help. Probably his only vice was his Snicker bar addiction. It would never occur to Steve to be dishonest, condescending, phony, or petty. He made everyone around him feel safe, and had an incredible, dry sense of humor. His loved ones will forever treasure the memories of his unconditional love. In lieu of flowers memorials may be left to the discretion of the Family.
