Denton, NE Tuesday, January 6, 2026 Steve was a outstanding leader in the educational world. His highest priority was to always provide what was best for the students. He was very thoughtful in any of his decisions he needed to make. Steve was a visionary for the school districts he worked at. He shared his knowledge with the Board of Education, the staff, the community and his team leaders to keep us all on the same mission. He was a very hard worker, yet humble, honorably and had outstanding integrity. He made many positive improvements for the Fremont Public School that will continue to make Fremont a leader in the educational arena of the state of Nebraska. Steve was a good man and I am proud that I had the opportunities to work with him through his tenure at FPS. Last, Steve was my good friend, I will miss him.My prayers are with Diane, Shannon and family.
