Steven Carrier Obituary
1953 - 2014
Steven "Steve" Carrier, 61 of Pleasant Prairie, formerly of Waukegan, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, Sept. 25, at St. Catherine's Hospital.
Born on Jan. 25, 1953, in Highwood, Ill., he was the son of William Robert and Doris "Jean" (Hindes) Carrier. He graduated from Waukegan High School and earned his Associates Degree from Lake Forest School of Management.
On May 4, 1974, he married his high school sweetheart, Patricia "Patti" McMahon in Waukegan. They were married over 40 years. They moved to Pleasant Prairie in 2007.
He was employed as the VP of Operations at American Metal Technologies for the last 12 years.

I will forever remember Steve as one of the older kids in our neighborhood where we grew up. Steve and his brothers knew how to work on anything and fix anything. Baseball , car models, Estes rockets you name it the Carrier boys knew how to do it . Steve and his brothers always took care of the younger kids in the neighborhood , I being one of them. Patti from my family , my brothers and their families we are all very sorry for the loss of Steve. A great guy.
