Steven R. Kraatz

I have many childhood memories; those of Steve are ones I will continue to treasure throughout my life.

Steve always had a smile on his lips and a twinkle in his eyes that made one think he may be up to something a little mischievous, but it was his way of making you feel warm and welcome.

Beloved by all who knew him, Steve has left us richer for having touched our lives. I will love him always and I shall miss him.

My feelings for this man who called me "his brother" go beyond words they are forever imbedded in my Heart the WORD is Love, my memmories of him were all of the good things that a man could share in this world, I saw his soft side his humorous side his thoughtfull side Steve was an intellegent guy he always could rattle off some answer to a question, he amazed me more than once, I was so lucky to have met Steve and to have had his friendship.I will miss him for all of the above, but most...

Our deepest sympathies to the family of Steven Kraatz , and to his Mom & Dad , Betty and Roger. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. God Bless

I'll always remember him in his younger days. Working for the local farmer - driving a tractor around the neighborhood.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Thank You to all the nurses on the 2nd floor of Suburban, at the time of his passing you were all so wonderful to us. We lost a great person who was a good friend, brother, father and husband. All the nurses who were on duty at this time were just so wonderful that there are no perfect words to describe them. We were so over welmed by their genuine concern, generosity and compassion.

I graduated with Steve and I will always have god memories of him which I am sure all his friends and family will have. I wish you strength in your time of loss.

Steve sure was a fighter to the very end. Many days he would find the kindest words to say regardless of all the pain he was in. he was a wonderful person to care for and will be missed on 2 East. my prayers are with Steve and his family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
