died Jan. 11, 2017 In Indianapolis. He was born May 12, 1947 in Columbus, IN and grew up in Shelbyville, IN. His parents, Anna E. and William E. Nentrup who are deceased, provided him the quintessential life of a child who grew up in the 50's and 60's.

Steve was a kind, caring man who had a passion for reading, politics and history. He supported peace and social justice issues.
He will be deeply missed by life partner, Sarah E. Bowers; daughter, Stephanie L. Nentrup; son, Craig W. (Lindsay Gerling-Nentrup) Nentrup; grandchildren Eric, Emily, Alexander and Parker Guy and Gemma Nentrup; all of Indianapolis and his sister, Susan J. (Susie) Nentrup, Bloomington, IN.
