Steven Richard Hartmann passed away on August 3, 2014 at the age of 49 years. He cherished his wife Stacey Elizabeth Hartmann, and their children, 13-year-old daughter Andrea, and 10-year-old son Andrew (Drew) – the joys of his life. He is survived by his mother, Roberta (Bobbie) Santangelo, who treasured him; was predeceased by his father, Richard William Hartmann, survived by his stepmother Jean Hartmann who continues to love and care for his family; is also survived by his loving siblings Nancy Parrish (Kent), Linda Hartmann (Stanford Stewart), and Carolyn Hartmann-Simpson, a large extended family, and many friends.

Steve was born and raised in St. Louis County, Missouri. He went to Pattonville High School, and received his Bachelors and Masters in Business Administration with honors at St. Louis University. He worked in information technology, network security, and project management. Steve loved sports and was an avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, Rams, and Blues, and a zealous tailgater at these events. For this reason, his Family Juvenile Diabetic Research Foundation (JDRF) Walk Team was named “Walking Tailgators.” Steve became the captain of this team and excelled at fundraising for JDRF when his daughter was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes before the age of two years. He was a creative and prolific craftsman, particularly working with wood, building the family dining room table, the pet dog Cally’s crate, an outdoor gazebo and fire pit, among others. He also enjoyed photography. His happiest times were those with his children and family. He will be missed tremendously.
