Steven was born on May 13th, 1950, in Dubuque, Iowa, son of Frank and Rose (Deppe) Post. He attended and graduated from Wahlert Catholic High School in 1968.

He then worked as a floral deliverer for Ellen’s Floral Gallery for several years while becoming a successful landowner and manager for 30 years.

He was a naturalist who loved deer hunting and knew how to live with nature. He gave God credit for all the Earth and its glory each and every day. What you saw was what you got. He wanted nothing but gave everything.

Thank you to all the family members who have held it together for me during this unexpected accident.
