The following information was provided to us by Shelly Coates-Hopp, Steve's widow, on 9/8/2023. Thank you for sharing more information about Steve's life, Shelly. He was a great guy!
Steve was in management/ sales with Dell Corp. he actually was interviewing for a Vice President position when he fell sick and passed very quickly from sepsis. He passed with family surrounding him in Chicago. Steve was always very active with his wife Marianne of 33 years. They had two children Allison and Bradley. Steve loved to travel, he adored hiking climbing some of the tall peaks Colorado had to offer. Steve also loved biking riding many years in Ragbri/ Ride the Rockies 500 miles in 5 days. Steve was always loved family time. We had our last sibling reunion weeks before he fell sick celebrating Dad’s 80th birthday. Besides his kids and wife, Steve was extremely proud of the cabin he designed and built by cutting his own trees down and building the cabin alongside his family.
