He was a proud grandfather to Lyla, Lainey, and Sophia, and a loving bonus grandfather to Makayla, Justin, Domonic, Austin, Sage, Jasper, Pax, Brandon, Justin, Connor, Zachariah, Christopher, Alex, and Jeremih, all of whom brought great joy to his life and home.

He was preceded in death by his parents: George and Margaret Luebbert; brothers: Jim and Russ Luebbert; his bonus daughter, Cortney Cotter; and his bonus son-in-love, Douglas Dale. Steve was an avid fisherman who loved living close to the water. He also loved his dogs: Tank and Diva, who were his constant companions. About a year ago, he began raising homing pigeons, finding a new passion and joy in caring for them. A true sports fan, Steve, never missed a Kansas City Chiefs game and enjoyed following many other sports as well.

He was truly loved and will be missed very much by all who knew him. Steve will be remembered for his kindness, his sense of humor, and his unwavering devotion to nearly all of his family. His life was a testament to love, loyalty, service, and the joy found in simple moments spent with those he cared for most.
