Steven Brase Obituary
Steve was born on February 17, 1960, in Charles City, Iowa, the son of Lorenz and Wilma (Shipp) Brase. He attended Plainfield Community Schools where he met the love of his life, Cristie Ensign, while working in the concession stand. They were united in marriage on February 19, 1977, at the Horton Baptist Church. To this union three children were born, Leonard, Timthy and Melissa. Steve developed a passion for trapping at the age of sixteen, something he passed on to his children and grandchildren. His many hobbies included hunting, fishing, and woodworking. He enjoyed attending his grandchildren's sporting events with his favorites being football and wrestling.
He was a member of the Bremer County Cattleman for thirty years, serving as secretary, president, and grill chairman. Steve farmed with his brother Don, raising crops, almost all animals at one point or another, his favorite being cattle. Steve had the ability to build and fix about anything, from building his own home to doing plumbing and electrical for family and friends.
