Stephan Paul “Steve “Schaeg, age 70
Stephan Paul “Steve “Schaeg, age 70, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at his home in Shell Knob, Missouri.
He was born on December 22, 1955, to Clifford and Margie (Grimmert) Schaeg, who preceded him in death. Also preceding him in death were his dear sister, Donna Kaye Schaeg and brother-in-law, John Rau.
Steve was raised in Chesterfield and then Ballwin, Missouri. He had many school friends from both parochial and public schools. Steve made friends easily and was still in contact with many of his former classmates from both schools.
His greatest adventure was working the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany. This is where he could use his skills and command of the German language. Steve had a varied career path but while living in Chicago, Illinois, he became a sales marketing representative for exhibit and trade shows. He continued in that line of business upon his return to St. Louis. A few years ago, he retired to Shell Knob/Table Rock Lake to better enjoy his love of mushroom hunting, fishing, and turkey hunting. He made many new friends at the lake who will also miss him greatly.
Steve is survived by his sister, Susan Rau; nephew, John Rau II; an uncle, Jim (Tim) Kierns; many cousins with a special mention to Gene and Debra O’Halloran who had a special connection with him over the years, and numerous friends from school, work, and in the St. Louis area and Shell Knob.
Private services will be held at a later date.
