Steven Frederick Forcht, 51, of Stuart, died Friday, Sept. 16, 2004, at Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.

Services were held Monday, Sept. 20, at All Saints Catholic Church in Stuart. Burial was at the Dexter Cemetery in Dexter.

Steven Forcht was born April 22, 1953, in Dexter, the son of Nile A. and Jean L. (Schirm) Forcht. He was a lifelong resident of Stuart. He attended Stuart High School and graduated in 1971. He later graduated from Des Moines Area Community College with a degree in building trades. He worked as a carpenter until 1986, when he went to work at Cardinal IG in Greenfield.

In June of 1972, he married Sue Eldredge.

He enjoyed spending his time with family and friends. He took great pride in his grandchildren and loved to make them laugh. He also enjoyed hunting, snowmobiling, golfing, bowling and fishing. He was an avid stock car racing fan and just recently spent 10 days in Boone at Super Nationals. In June of this year, he invested in a camper and was very excited to take it on his “racing vacation” in Boone. He and Sue also enjoyed their time together on the numerous bowling trips they took around the country as well as their trips to watch the Chicago Cubs.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jean and Nile Forcht.

He is survived by his wife, Sue; his sons, Cory Forcht of Greenfield, and Chris Forcht and Andy Forcht of Stuart; one daughter, Alison Forcht of Des Moines; four grandchildren; and siblings, Nyla Maas of Menlo, Marty Forcht of Stuart and Deb Funaro of Des Moines.
