Steven Onstott Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Watkins Brothers Funeral Homes - Jennings-Lyons Chapel - Owosso on Feb. 9, 2026.
Steven Onstott, a cherished brother, uncle, and life-long partner, passed away peacefully on February 9, 2026, at the age of 68 in Owosso, Michigan. Born August 11, 1957, in Flint, Michigan. Per Stevens wishes cremation has taken place.

Family was the cornerstone of Steven's life. Steven's presence was a source of comfort and happiness to his beloved sister Patricia Joann Onstott, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond, sister-in-law; Linda Onstott, his devoted nieces Amanda (Barry) Willoughby, Melinda (Travis) Jones, Kristen Onstott, and great-nieces Kilee Jones, Lillian Jones, and Adalyn Willoughby; along with the extended family and a close knit circle of friends, Steven's memory will be forever cherished.

Steven was preceded in death by his parents, Roger Wade Onstott and Patricia Ann (Wilson) Onstott, and life partner Shelly Purves.

Steven found solace in the tranquility of nature. His passion for fishing and hunting was not just a hobby but a way of life that allowed him to form lasting bonds with those he held dear.
