Steve Kulchin Obituary
1958 ~ 2012
Steve Kulchin passed away at his most beloved mountain cabin, high amongst the hills of Ellensburg, Washington.
Steve will be remembered for his relentless sharing, kindness, and respect.
Steve found peace in his beautiful wife Kathleen and his three wonderful children Joshua, Jacob, and Sarah.
Steve impacted more people than he could have ever imagined. He was an adored man that not only touched the lives of his family and friends, but also enriched those lives for the better.
His continuous passion in the drilling industry led him to create Kulchin Foundation Drilling with a devoted family of coworkers. At the heart of this esteemed company lies an inexplicable dynamic of caring.
The memorial service will be held at 1:00PM on Friday, August 17th at Timberlake Church, 4505 236th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98053. In lieu of flowers the family requests you make a donation in Steve's memory to the B.O.K. Ranch of Redwood City, CA at www.bokranch.com.

Kathleen, my heart goes out to your family. I can't imagine Sarah losing a parent so young in life. She was a part of my Sarah's life for many years throughout soccer, girls scouts and everyday activities. You all are in our thoughts.
