Michael Wayne Steuck

Michael Wayne Steuck was born on January 31, 1966. He blessed Norman Steuck and Willy Roberts as an addition to their family by adoption 3 weeks after birth. He attended elementary school and the first couple years of middle school in Pipestone, MN and then moved to Sioux Falls, SD, where he graduated from Washington High School in 1984. Mike was married for a brief period and blessed with a son, Devin Miles Steuck. Mike met the love of his life, Donna Ronning (Sliefert) from Storm Lake, IA in December of 2007 and married January 30, 2025. Mike served in the Army National Guard at Fort Benning, GA in Third Battalion, D Company, 3rd Platoon from August 1984 until March 1990 and was honorably discharged. Mike worked 37.5 years as a Technical Support Service contractor at the USGS Earth Resource Observation and Science (EROS) Center holding multiple jobs and learning many new skills. He had the confidence to take on new challenges and opportunities as they were presented at EROS. He always said, "There isn't a job I can't do if you take the time to teach me. I'm always open to learning new things." He was always thankful for his job at EROS and thankful for the people that took a chance on him. Mike had a passion for life that always included great friends, sunshine and usually music. He enjoyed music of all genres, volleyball, golf, cars and spending time with friends at the lake. Mike's passion for music, great smile and warm heart made him the prime candidate for meeting new people; many of whom grew to be lifelong friends. Mike cherished all the friendships made through his journey in life.
