Steven M. Kellerman Sr.

Steven M. Kellerman Sr. Entered God's loving arms on Tuesday, December 23, 2014, age 41. Steve was a loving husband, proud father, avid outdoorsman, hunter, fisherman and all-around great guy who touched the lives of so many. His most favorite place to be was Up North hunting, fishing, hiking, swimming and boating. He grew up in Brookfield attending the Elmbrook School District and later took some courses at Waukesha County Technical College ultimately choosing to put down his own roots in Brookfield. He wanted to be close enough to assist his parents, something he was very proud to be able to do to repay them for all the mischief he got into growing up. He loved his family and friends, would drop what he was doing to help them whenever needed. A close friend recently asked him to be Santa for a Christmas party so Santa he was - even bought a suit to do it. Steve could repair almost anything. Always said he wasn't going to let whatever it was he was working on "beat" him like it was a living thing...to him they may have been. He could diagnose mechanical issues simply by staring at, listening to or driving it. They were like sick people to him & he wouldn't rest until they were better. As his 9-year-old nephew, Payton said "God must've needed a lot of things fixed to call Uncle Steve up to Heaven so soon". Steve always had the time to chat with the ability to make anyone laugh. He had many occupations from Kohl's Food Store Stocker to General Service Mechanic and Salesman at Goodyear and then Firestone, Dental Assistant and Sterilization Tech at Brookfield Family Dentistry, Store Manager at F&F Tire, Landscaper for Scott Bachman and lastly as Co-Owner of Revolutions Service Center with one of his best friends, James Leimbach. They opened the business in 2007 and it grew rapidly while they developed a loyal customer base servicing Brookfield and the surrounding communities. Steve was perhaps most proud of his son and best buddy, Steven Junior. They were able to communicate in ways only understandable to them, usually involving a great deal of laughter. He met his wife, Trinket, in 1993, marrying 10 years later. He is survived by his parents, Glenn and Dana Lynn Kellerman, wife, Trinket (nee Jones), son, Steven Junior, Brother, Bryan, Sisters, Lori (Don) Bush and Kim (Todd) Murphy, brother-in-law to Willy (Jacque) Brooks, Mariah (Thor) Spalsbury, Samantha (Cody) Dean, uncles, Marvin Kellerman, Fred Kellerman, aunts, Cheryl (Randy) Bauer, Charlotte (Henry) Lange, Marlene Krueger, Cousins, Andrew (Denise) Kellerman, Emily Kellerman, Ethan (Hilary) Kellerman, Tiffany Lange, Dale Lange, Tim (Laurie) Lange, Christine Lange, Marilyn (Bill) Hinman, Kelly Wilkowski, Becky Wilkowski, Ken Wilkowski, Ken Krueger, Donna (Mark) Wilson, Debbie (Carl) Lum, nieces: Samantha Bush, Tabatha Murphy, Tae Mae and Lillian Dean, Ambry Brooks, nephews: Calvin Bush, Will Bush, Payton Murphy, Ethan Brooks, Tristan Dean, Thor, Dirk and Lars Spalsbury, Goddaughter, Daniella Metz.
