Steve smiles for a picture

“Stevo”, long-time mountain resident, passed away in hospice after a long battle with progressive dementia due to a traumatic brain injury.
Before his accident, he enjoyed snowboarding, hiking and boating around Mt Hood, as well as riding his motorcycle: as far away as Sturgis, and as close as Brightwood Tap, just to grab some brewskis and shoot pool. He also enjoyed hosting gatherings around the bar and pool table in his own home, where everyone was welcomed and treated like family.
He grew up in Chicago and loved the pizza, Bears, Blackhawks and Cubs, but he fell in love with the mountain – so he quit his job, sold his home, packed up his family and hit the Oregon Trail.
He took x-rays and cared for injured skiers/riders at the Mountain Clinic under Daisy Lift at Mt. Hood Meadows during the 90s, then transferred to CT/MRI at Legacy Emanuel and Mt Hood Hospitals.
His wife of 44 years, Marj, and his sons Stephen Nels and Nate, remember him as the life of the party and the light of their lives. He leaves 2 grandchildren, Viggo and Riley, to carry the torch, and loving daughters-in-law, Ceci Bazan and Sydney Kurtz. His faithful service dog, Bella, who helped him all through his cognitive decline, just misses him terribly, especially the treats under the table.
Private service. Please honor Steve’s memory with donations to Mt Hood Hospice, providing kind, loving service to both patients and their families.
