Steven Ronald Fiedler

Steven Ronald Fiedler, a cherished father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on the eve of April 14, 2024, just one day shy of his 63rd birthday. Born on April 15, 1961, in the bustling city of Chicago, Steven's life was a vibrant tapestry woven with dedication, love, and the simple joys of life.
Growing up in Chicago, Steven's early years were filled with the warmth of a close-knit family. Although his parents, Horst and Edith Fiedler, and his loving wife, Kim Fiedler, predeceased him, their influence on his character was indelible. He was a man who loved deeply and was deeply loved in return.
Steven's legacy is carried on through his beloved children, Christopher and Catherine Fiedler, who were the pride and joy of his life. His brother, Jeff (Sandy) Fiedler, will fondly remember the bond they shared, strengthened by years of camaraderie and mutual support.
A man of many talents and interests, Steven found solace in the serenity of nature and the roar of an engine. He was happiest when boating on the tranquil waters of Three Lakes, Wisconsin, a place where he could cast aside the cares of the world. His fire engine red 2016 Ram 1500 was not just a vehicle but a trusted companion on many adventures, a testament to his love for the open road.
Steven's passion for fishing was well known, and the shores of Lake Delavan were often graced by his patient presence. His hands, skilled and sure, could fix a car or build shelves with equal ease, reflecting his practical and resourceful spirit. An animal lover at heart, his home was enlivened by the presence of his dogs, Max and Lulu, and his cats, Cocoa and Morrison, who brought him immeasurable comfort and joy.
Music was a constant in Steven's life, echoing his diverse tastes and moods. From the electrifying riffs of AC/DC to the soulful strains of Guns & Roses, the twang of Toby Keith's country melodies to the reggae rhythms of Bob Marley and the Wailers, his love for music knew no bounds.
Those who knew Steven would describe him as loving, thoughtful, and handy-a man whose actions spoke volumes about his character. He was a quiet hero to his family, a reliable friend, and a generous soul who approached life with a sense of purpose and a gentle smile.
As we bid farewell to Steven, we celebrate a life lived with authenticity and heart. His memory will continue to inspire and guide those who were fortunate enough to have known him. Steven Ronald Fiedler's story is not one of an end but a lasting testament to the beauty of a life well-lived.
