Obituary published on Legacy.com by Unger-Horner Funeral Home & Cremation Service - Rochelle on Oct. 13, 2025.
Steven Michael Dummer, Sr., 64, passed away Saturday, October 11, 2025 at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, Illinois. Steven was born on August 4, 1961 to Leroy G. and Jacklin J. (Thompson) Dummer in Rochelle, IL. On March 27, 1999, he married Tammy Lynn Mitchusson in Rochelle.

In his earlier years, Steve enjoyed playing softball and then the best part was the follow up at the Caddyshack in Rochelle with a cold Old Style. He was an avid Bears and Cubs fan. He enjoyed bowling and loved his truck, but what was most important to Steve was the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.

Steve is preceded in death by his father, Leroy; mother-in-law, Peggy Mitchusson; niece, Holly Schier and special uncle, Ronald "Beeb" Coffman.

He is survived by his wife, Tammy of Rochelle; six children: Nathan (Laura) Lauzon of Dixon, IL, Mande (Matt Leal) Dummer of Rockfalls, IL, Stevie (Dani Kramer) Dummer, Jr., Katie (Andrew) Nicol, Nick Person and Jeremy Person all of Rochelle; his mother, Jackie Dummer of Rochelle; two brothers: Randy (Sarah) Dummer of Davis Junction, IL and Tom Dummer of Rochelle; sister, Beth (Allan) Kvool of Ashton, IL; 15 grandchildren: Braden, Emma, Joel, Landyn, Parker, Tucker, Dalanie, Hailey, Caiden, Madi, Dawson, Avery, Layla, Timmy and Nicky and many nieces and nephews.

The visitation will be from 4:00 - 8:00 P.M., Thursday, October 16, 2025 at the Unger-Horner Funeral Home, 400 N. 6th St., Rochelle. Please wear your favorite Chicago sports team apparel to the visitation (Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks, Bulls).
