Born in Kenosha on September 1, 1963, he was the son of Ronald and Frances (Pomponi) Kollman. He was a 1981 graduate of Bradford High School and received his Associates Degree in Electronics from Gateway Technical College.

On October 1, 1994 at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, he was united in marriage to Mary Simpson. Steve's faith in God was first and foremost and could be seen through the way in which he lived his life. He was a faithful member of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church and the Holy Rosary Choir. Steve was a devoted family man who was always generous with his time.

He was employed with GE Healthcare for 18 years and had worked at the Music Center for many years.

Steve had a passion for music and rocked out on the guitar. He was instrumental in starting the band Boys and Toys with his brother, Chris Kollman and friend, Jon Ianni. Steve welcomed many friends, fans and followers when he played lead guitar in the Class of '62urf Boys and The New Vinyls. He was the center of musical entertainment for all family events, especially on Christmas Eve.

The last time I spoke to Steve I said "We receive life from God and then we return it back to Him." Steve returned a rich life back to God, with much gratitude and no small measure of suffering. The suffering is now of the past , the gratitude endures throughout eternity. Rest in Peace.
