Steve was the son of Jack and Allene Zitting. He was born and raised in the Wenatchee valley and Pullman Washington. He trained early as an electrician and all construction trades. He worked for various companies over fifty years and became a long time member of IBEW 191. On November 1, 1975, he married his best friend, Patti (Cook) at the Logan temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Steve was proceeded in death by his parents; big brother, Mike; and sister, Carol. He leaves behind his wife, Patti, of Omak; daughters, Shannon Lake and Becci Pedersen, both of Everett, Washington; and son, Matthew Zitting of Benton City, Washington; five grandchildren and two grandpuppies; sister, Debra Jay, of Wenatchee; brother, Jim Zitting, of East Wenatchee; and sister, Marsha Nelson, of Provo, Utah.

I knew Steve from church and Boy Scouts. I can still repeat the jokes he told on campouts. He was a good friend. Condolences to his family.

I met Steve when I moved to Pullman. We met at church. He was kind to me and made me feel welcomed! It sounds like he had a good life. I lived many years in coulee dam. We were only a hour from Omak. Too bad we didn´t know. Thoughts and prayers for his family.
