Steve Rippl Obituary

Rippl, Steve After a struggle with cancer that claimed his physical body, Steven Rippl was born to eternal life on August 1st, 2019. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Bev, his children DJ (Rachel), Kelly, Erin (Erik Rohde), and Dan (Gina) and 7 grandchildren. Steve spent nearly 30 years working in venture capital and private equity with Capital Investments Inc. In 2010, he joined Securant Bank & Trust to form a "Work Out" division to manage distressed assets. Aside from his career in business, Steve cherished time spent with his wife, Bev, their family, and friends. Steve also loved his Saturday morning Bible study, traveling, and getting away to their cottage in Wautoma, Wisconsin. Steve was an Elder and founding member of his church, Grace 242 (grace242.org). He was also a long-time volunteer at the Milwaukee Guest House. Home at last. Just a regular guy who loves Jesus. We will celebrate Steve's life on Saturday, August 10th at 10:00am at the Mequon Nature Preserve (8200 W County Line Rd., Mequon, WI, 53097). In lieu of flowers, Steve's desire was that donations be made to the Milwaukee Guest House (guesthouseofmilwaukee.org)
