Born Steven Craig Reece on July 24, 1947 in Eldora, Iowa, he was the son of Lawrence “Larry” and Irene (Snovel) Reece. Following his graduation from New Providence High School, he honorably served in the United States Army. As a result of his union to Mary Ann Pevehouse, Steve was blessed with two children. Hardworking and dedicated, he drove a dump truck for Construct Inc. in Marshalltown for over 25 years before his retirement. Steve was a quiet and simple man who had a quiet way of taking care of people. He loved a good sit under a shade tree in his lawn chair and a fresh perm. He also enjoyed going to Ginger Snap for a coffee, walking and mowing his yard.

Left to cherish his memory are his two children: Andrea (Justin) Thibodeau of Monroe Center, Illinois and Todd (Sara) Reece of State Center; five grandchildren: Bryce, Jadyn, Dakota, Maverick and Branch; mother of his children, Mary Ann Reece; his siblings: Kent (Tracy) Reinert and Kurt (Connie) Reinert; brother-in-law, Larry Lubbert; sister-in-law, Carlene Reece and many other family and friends.

Steve is preceded in death by his father, Larry Reece; his mother and stepfather, Irene and Wally Reinert; his sister, Val Lubbert and his brother, Larry Reece.
