Steven Plagens Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 31, 2025.
Steven Plagens, age 55 of Walnut Grove, Missouri, passed away on August 28, 2025.

Born on March 1, 1970, Steven was known for his ability to tackle any sort of project from restoring vintage cars to building his daughters items for their college dorms. His personality provided comic relief when you needed it most, and his generous heart never failed to help someone in need.

He is survived by his two daughters, Shae Ford and Rebecca Hernandez; his mother, Georgia Plagens; his siblings, Freddy Plagens, Jo O'Connor, Teresa Morgan, Renee Browning, and Gail Glenn.

A memorial service will be held virtually via a Facebook page called "Steven Plagens Memorial" for those that wish to remember his life alongside others.

Steven will be kept in the hearts of those who loved and knew him best, and will continue to be honored and celebrated in the ways that matter most to each of us.
