Steve was born December 12, 1946, in Rushford, Minn., to the late Art and Alice Scattum. He attended Rushford High School. Upon graduation, he entered the Air Force, and later served with the Marines in Vietnam.
He is survived by his former wife and ever-present friend, Ann, loving daughter Rachel and her children Ryleigh and Ava, brothers David and Kevin (Leela) Scattum, and sister Wanda (Bob) Sherwood.
A decorated Vietnam Veteran, Deputy Sheriff and longtime Andersen Windows employee in Bayport, Minn., Steve was actively involved in several veteran’s service groups, and veteran and community support efforts. He enjoyed reading, doing crosswords, and his much-loved fishing adventures with buddies in Michigan lakes and streams. Steve was a large man who will leave a large hole in the lives of the many who loved him.
A date for a memorial will be announced at a later time. Memorial gifts may be directed to the Veterans support group of your choice.
