Julie, Laura, and Morgan so sorry to hear about Steve. We had a lot of good conversations and spent a lot of time in a variety of gyms watching Laura, Morgan and the girls playing ball. He was proud of his girls. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I thought the world of Steve. He sold seed to my dad Cletus Striegel and myself for over 30 yrs. I am sorry Julie, Laura and Morgan for your loss. Your two girls grew up at the same time ours were as we have a 27 yr old son and 2 daughters 24 and 23 so we exchanged a lot of stories about the kids. Steve enjoyed talking with his many customers and cared about people. Andrew Striegel

So very sorry for your loss. I knew Steve from his many years of selling seed to our family. Steve was always such a fun and nice guy. He could always put a big smile on my face, our family will greatly miss him. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Ben Striegel

My thoughts and prayers are with Steven's family during this sad time. I was a classmate of Steves and he was always the life of the party!! Hold onto all the wonderful memories.

We are sorry for your loss. Steve will be missed by all.

Dear Julie, Morgan, and Laura, So sorry to hear the news of your loss. We enjoyed seeing you at Simpson basketball games and recently talking to Morgan about life after college. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, Marcia and Bruce Gullickson (Annie's parents)

Dear Julie, Doug, Mark, Neal and families, Deb Stetson contacted me today to tell me about Steve. As a fellow lake brat we are in my mind forever young, spending carefree summers in the sun and water, so how can this be? Please accept my sincere condolences. Sincerely, Sue Nissen

To the Terpstra family: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Steve. I have many fond memories of all 4 Terpstra boys at Clear Lake, where our families vacationed next to each other. Thinking of you at this difficult time, Debbie Stetson

Words cannot ease your pain or I would choose those that would. My heart goes out to Julie and the other family members and simply know that you will remain in my daily prayers. The many past basketball trips together will always remain a fond memory. Steve could always make us laugh, even when he went ballistic over a blown call. His presence in your lives and mine were a gift and for that I will always be eternally thankful. Shalom . . .

Julie, Laura & Morgan- I am in shock! I am so very sorry to hear of Steve's death. Our families go way back to summers at Clear Lake and through our adult lives. I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and in my heart. In sympathy and friendship, Shelly Cook

So sorry to hear of Steves passing....we were classmates and I remember him with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye, wondering what he was up to :) Class reunions will not be the same without him.

Always enjoyed his visits and doing test plots. Because of Steve's knowledge of farming he made Dan and Brenda better farmers and we will miss him dearly . We had done business with him for 25 years Love Dan, Brenda, and Madison Kirchmann

I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers. Wishing you peace and love. Ginny

Julie, Laura & Morgan. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of our times together. Our loved ones may leave us in this physical world but they never leave our hearts. They may be gone from here but they are not lost forever. One day we will see them again. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Korey and I had the privilege of knowing Steve for only a few short years, but quickly grew fond of him. The news of his passing saddened our hearts. We wish we were able to attend his services to celebrate his life with the people closest to him. We pray for peace and comfort through this difficult time.

I knew Steve from the 80's when he called on me at Gary's Feed at Dysart, Ia. our condolences, he was one of our favorite people .He always had his dog with him. Gary and Darlene steve

I know them all from high school my condolence: Steven Terpstra family Closed Doors Lead To Open Doors There are times in our lives We come to a closed door It does not always mean that we Have not heard from the Lord It may only mean that God Is changing how we get there To show to us a better way That we were unaware So don't see this as an end To the outworking of God's will The thing that God has birthed in you He wants to see fulfilled Just continue to trust in Him And leave it in His hands He will work this whole thing out For it is what He has planned And as we look back we will see How God had been our guide And directed us along the path Where doors stood open wide So thank Him for these hard times The set backs we go through For it is God who is leading us To make our dreams come true May God Bless Each of YOU The Lords Prayer Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory,,forever. Amen.
