Stroup, Steven C. Age 69 of Golden Valley passed away unexpectedly last year on April 26, 2022. Survived by wife Kim, his daughter Leah, his son Paul, special granddog Jax, dear aunts, uncles, cousins, family and a lifetime of so many wonderful friends and co-workers. Preceded in death by beloved parents Richard (Mick) Gloria, brother Craig. Celebration Mon May 22 at 1pm Calvary Lutheran Church, Reception nearby 2-5pm. Steve was a kind, goodhearted man known for his warm friendly smile, twinkling blue eyes, booming laugh, and the best hugs. He loved spending time with family and so many dear friends. Most of all Steve truly adored his kids and very much loved being their Dad. A friend to all he met Steve was a cheerful fun-loving, but hardworking guy, always happy to help. He loved waking at sunrise with a good coffee (Caribou!) and end the day relaxing with a cold Heineken. Steve was happiest 'behind the wheel', be it a car, a boat, or even as a young man, a plane. He taught us to try to take the backroads and enjoy the ride. Each day we miss him more, but we keep him close to heart, always.
