Steven Teel Obituary
Steven (Steve) Lowell Teel
March 24, 1950-September 24, 2019
BUFFALO-Steven Lowell Teel "Steve", 69, of Buffalo IA. Made his journey to heaven on September 24th 2019. He was surrounded and comforted by his loved ones at home in Buffalo. A celebration of life gathering will be held at a later date. Memorials may be made directly to the family.
Steve was born on March 24th 1950 in Davenport. He was united in marriage to Patricia Ann Stout on March 20th 1971. Steve worked at Linwood Mining and Minerals. He retired after 48 years of employment at Linwood as an end loader operator.
Steve had many interests including gardening; he planted a garden every spring and many flowers around his home with his wife. He was an avid woodworker, hunter, fisherman, and loved being outside. He was forever tinkering in his shed. In his younger years he also coached his son's baseball teams. He loved NASCAR, the Vikings and Iowa Hawkeye Football. Above all he valued spending time with his family, including those who weren't blood related but treated no different in his eyes and heart. His door was always open and his home was always full. He is deeply missed by so many.
Survivors include his loving wife Patricia; children Danny (Kelly) Hagberg, Diane (Mark) Miller, Melissa (Gary) Bowers, Steven Jr (Lynnette) Teel, Kimberly (Cody) Tucker, Brent (Stacie) Teel, Mindy (Andrew) Bartelson, Eric (Jill) Teel, 35 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, brothers; Jerry (Janet) Teel, David (Sue) Teel, sisters; Cathy Teel, Jennifer (Paul) Hamilton, and his ever faithful 4-legged companion Raph.
He was preceded in death by his parents; Maggie and Ted, brothers; Jimmy, Mark, and Rick, sisters; Marlene and Nancy, a grandson Trey, and great-granddaughter Lydia.
The Teel family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Unity Point Hospice.

I will always cherish the fun family gatherings at his house. He invented living room tackle football and all star wrestling. He was always my favorite of my Dad´s brothers. My grandkids love wrestling with grandpa Chris. He had a great laugh . Rest in Peace Uncle Steve.

Brent and Stacie words can not express how sorry I am to hear of your dads passing. My heart goes out to you. Sending my prayers that you find the strength within each other as well as the rest of your families strength to get through these rough sad times. On a lighter note when your family was shinging your flash lights the other night I was with a friend and actually was outside with my flash light pretty close to the same time all of you were having your ceremony for your dad. Random coincidence or Father Teel powers from above. I love you sis and Brent all my heart... your sister Carman McElroy..

My sincere condolences to all the Family members and friends of Steve's but especially to Patty. It's been years since we moved from Hickory Hills but my late husband Ken knew everyone in Buffalo since he helped coach the boy's hardball teams. God Bless you All.
