Steven Amdahl

Steven Kenneth Amdahl, born on November 11, 1958, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2024, at his home in Wyndmere, North Dakota, just shy of his 66th birthday.

Growing up in Spring Lake Park, Steve discovered his love for cooking, a passion that would define his career for years to come. He spent many years as a dedicated cook in various local restaurants before operating a restaurant of his own, Bonnie's Cafe in Coon Rapids. The cafe became a beloved gathering spot, where Steve's infectious laughter and welcoming nature were as much a part of the experience as the delicious meals he prepared.

In the early 2000's, Steve created a home in the small, close knit community of Wyndmere, ND. Steve made more connections while working in manufacturing at WCCO, Inc. for 17 years, before his retirement in 2020.

Steve found joy in fishing, playing the guitar, reading and shooting. His quick wit and sense of humor endeared him to all who knew him, leaving a lasting impression on his community.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Gloria Amdahl, his brother, Mike Amdahl, and his youngest child, Jacob Amdahl. He is survived by his siblings, Deb (Ron) Carr of Monticello, Kevin Amdahl of Wyndmere, ND, and Michelle (Steve) Brama of Blaine. He leaves behind his children, Keane Amdahl of Minneapolis, Laura (Lee) Porwoll of Waite Park, and his only grandchild, Harrison. His best friend, Michelle Bliss, many nieces,nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins, also mourn his passing.

A burial will take place at Morningside Cemetery in Coon Rapids at 1 p.m. on Friday, December 6th, followed by a gathering and lunch at Sunset Grill in Spring Lake Park from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Steve's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
