Steve Willwerth, age 44, passed away Sunday February 6, 2022 at his home in rural Fairbank. He was born October 3, 1977 in Waterloo to parents, Andy and Cris (St. Louis) Willwerth. Steve attended and graduated from Wapsie Valley Community Schools with the class of 1996. After high school, he attended Hawkeye Community College for two years. He then enrolled at the University of Northern Iowa to complete his four year degree. After college, Steve worked at Henderson Manufacturing in Manchester for a number of years. He was then employed by Deere and Company, holding a position as a territory customer support manager at the engine works. He also farmed with his parents on the family farm. He married Sara Heineman on June 22, 2012 and together they have two boys, Kade and Jace. Steve enjoyed life to the fullest whether it be camping, fishing, snowmobiling with his family, or trying out new recipes on the grill or smoker. Steve loved farming and taking his two boys out for rides in the tractor, the combine, or the gator. He was always the life of the party and just a fun guy that everyone enjoyed being around. Steve’s greatest joy and love was his family, his wife, Sara and their two boys who meant the world to him.
