Steve Uecker Obituary
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker's son Steve has died from complications related to San Joaquin Valley fever.
The Brewers issued a statement saying Steve Uecker passed away Friday at a hospital in Milwaukee. He was 52.
Bob Uecker called it "a very difficult time" for his family and thanked the Brewers and the fans for their support. He also thanked the staff at Froedtert Hospital for their efforts.
Steve Uecker also is survived by his mother, Joyce, brother, Bob Jr., sisters Sue and Leann, and several nieces.
Brewers owner Mark Attanasio extended his condolences and said Bob Uecker's loss "is our loss, and we share his sadness today."
San Joaquin Valley fever is caused by a fungus that can enter the body through the lungs.

Condolences Bob. My mom died at 53 in November of 2012. It's hard losing loved ones so young still. I'm still listening to you in 2021.

I just found out about Steve's passing and it was like being punched in the gut. I Played a lot of pool with him in Shafter in the mid-1980's...He even stayed out in the country with us a time or two. I would stop into his pizza parlor (Front Row Pizza) and say Hi when I had the chance. He often remembered with fondness being at the 1964 World Series to watch his dad play. I had an uncle who was seen as a legend in billiards and Steve remarked to me at least once that we had something in common in this. He was a really great guy and I'm sure he is missed by all. My belated condolences to his mom, dad and family. may God bless you all.
