Steven Benson Miner

Steven Benson Miner, 69, of Robinson, IL, died on September 4, 2022, at Robinson Rehab Nursing in Robinson, IL.
Steven was born on February 22, 1953, in Scottsburg, IN, the son of Lester & Grace (Collin) Miner, both of whom preceded him in death. He married Becky Reeder on March 2, 1976, and she passed away on January 11, 2009. He was also preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Barb Reeder.
Steve grew up in Scottsburg, IN, and became a caregiver for his mother at a young age. His ability to care for his mother made him interested in joining the healthcare field and this was what led him to become a respiratory therapist. He would then work for Good Samaritan Hospital for over 30 years. Steve and his wife Becky spent many years working in the health field. After the passing of his wife Becky, he found love again and married Judy Hyre on May 6, 2011. Steve and Judy would also have a bond from the healthcare field, but they also loved to travel together.
Many people could say he was known for being a little long-winded. He spent countless hours operating his Ham Radio, reaching several folks. He also found great enjoyment in playing solitaire on the computer.
Steve will be remembered as a quiet, kind, gentle soul who will be greatly missed by his family.
He is survived by his wife, Judy Miner (Palestine, IL); by his son & daughter-in-law, Christopher & Gretchen Miner (Lawrenceville, IL); by his stepson, Nathan Hyre (Palestine, IL); by his grandchildren, Shyla Miner, Kayla Miner, and Garen Miner; by his great-granddaughter, Parker; by his brothers-in-law & sisters-in-law, Tom Reeder and George & Kris Reeder; as well as several nieces and nephews.
A time of visitation will be held from 1:30-2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 9th, at Outer West Market Church of Christ in Palestine, IL. Funeral services will immediately follow and will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday at the church with Pastor Tim Watson and Dave Maxwell officiating. Burial will be held at a later date in the Lawrenceville Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the "American Cancer Society", with envelopes available at the church.
