Steven Harris Obituary
BANGOR - Steven Harris, 75, of Bangor, Wisc., died on September 6, 2025, due to complications of dementia. He was born in Compton, Calif., in 1950, to Gordon and Alta Marie (Swartz) Harris and moved to the La Crosse area with his mother and siblings. He attended Logan High School before going to work at Burlington Northern Railroad for 38 years.
Steven was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon and Marie; brothers, Richard (Archie) and Phillip (Randy-Brillo); and grandson, Jaden Fargen. He is survived by his wife, Debra; daughter, Ingrid Herken; grandchildren, Tysen Herken and Sarah French; brother, Brian (Karen) Harris; sisters, Judy(Duane)Hoff, Sherree(Mark) Hess; and many nieces and nephews.
Steve had a great love for animals, especially horses. He was always willing to help people that needed it and expected nothing in return. He enjoyed working on the farm and listening to music in his tackhouse.
Steve will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering support touched countless lives, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion. Whether through his quiet strength, his warm smile, or his ability to make others smile and laugh, he made a lasting impact on everyone he met. His absence will be felt profoundly by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he enriched, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Per Steve's wishes, no services will be held, and he will rest peacefully at the farm he called home for over 50 years.

Steve was a great guy! He was helpful in ways only I understand due to working on the railroad. His tips were very useful for an old man like me, joining the railroad at the age of 53! He and Archie were very nice men who their Mother would have been proud of. I worked with Marie at The La Crosse Rubber Mills many, many years ago. Very classy, pretty woman. She was all about her kids!
My sympathy to the family!!!
