Steven Lee Willmann

On Monday, March 30,2026, Steven Lee Willmann left this world to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was born November 12,1951 in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. He was raised in the Fort Atkinson/Jefferson area and graduated from Jefferson High School. He went on to get a degree in Outdoor Power and Marine from MATC.

Steve loved driving, and later he became an over the road truck driver. He used his background in logistics during his time as a district manager for Fujifilm, which led to a transfer to Bentonville, Arkansas. Steve and family moved and settled into southwest Missouri. Once the film industry went digital, his position ended, and he became self-employed cleaning awnings around the country until he retired.

Steve was an avid reader and huge sports fan. He followed the St. Louis Cardinals, the Green Bay Packers, the Wisconsin Badgers and the Arkansas Razorbacks. He also loved motor sports. He enjoyed travelling and trying new foods. Steve was a food judge for SCA and a lifetime member of the Kansas City BBQ Society.

He was a member of Peace Luthern Church in Wautoma, Wisconsin. Steve is survived by his wife Susan Willmann, his children Kelly Buss, Tracy (Aaron) Zastrow, Paul Huttner, Cena Willmann, Joseph Willmann, and Christian (Bethany) Willmann, 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, his siblings Jane Crossman, Michael Willmann, Cena Willmann, and Nancy (Richard) Kolodzne. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
