August 23, 1977 ~ November 24, 2016 (age 39)

Steven L. Sinclair, 39, of Humeston, passed away November 24, 2016 as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. He was born August 23, 1977 in Albia, Iowa the son of Steven and Joyce (Goben) Sinclair. Steven was the oldest of four children.

Steven graduated from Mormon Trail High School in Garden Grove in 1995. After graduating from high school, Steven enlisted in the U.S. Navy and became a damage control man. He served aboard the USS John F. Kennedy and was stationed at the Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, FL. Steven was honorably discharged from the Navy in the fall of 1999.

While living in Florida, Steven married his childhood friend Amber Spoon. Two children were born from this union, Hayley Allyn and Jesse Lee Sinclair. After leaving the Navy, Steven and his family moved back to Iowa.

In his post-military career, Steven worked at both John Deere and Johnson Machine Works as a CNC machinist. Even outside of work, Steven's passions were welding and working with his hands. He also had a big heart and garnered a well-deserved reputation among family and friends for assisting them with various remodeling and building projects over the years.

Steven was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lloyd and Wilma Goben of Lucas, William Sinclair of Corydon, Arthur and Doris Kline of Chariton, aunt Barbara Ingram of Charito, uncle Gary Schuster of Chariton, and his cousins Candy Schertfeger of Marshalltown and Danielle Goben of Chariton.
