Steven Charles Heinsch, 72, of New Hope, Minnesota, passed away on October 12, 2025, in St. Louis Park. Born on December 21, 1952, in Minneapolis, Steve lived a life marked by devotion to his faith, a sharp sense of humor, and a hands-on approach to the world around him.
A proud Minnesotan, Steve was a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ, and his faith was a guiding force throughout his life.

Steve found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved biking and taking road trips, often exploring the beauty of the open road with a spirit of adventure. A dedicated sports fan, he cheered passionately for the Minnesota Vikings, the Wild, and the Gophers, celebrating their victories and enduring their losses with unwavering loyalty.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Diane Heinsch; daughters Heidi Dehmer and Lisa Wright; sons-in-law Chris Dehmer and Kevin Wright; and grandchildren Chase and Megan Teachout and Elizabeth and Christopher Dehmer. Steve's love for his family was evident in the time he spent with them and the memories they created together.
