Robert "Steve" Lee Stevens 87 of Rapid City passed away Friday December 6, 2019 at Rapid City Regional Hospital.

Steve was born February 2, 1932 in Little Rock AR to Edward and Edna Stevens. Steve moved to Chicago, IL where he lived until graduating high school and enlisting in the US Air Force. After returning from the Korean War, he moved to Rapid City, SD where he was stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base. This is where he met the love of his life, Edna Mae Middleton. They were married on December 20, 1958. Steve and Edna were members of the VFW, Elks Club and Moose Club, where they loved spending time on the dance floor. Steve adored the outdoors. Hunting, fishing and dirt biking were many of the hobbies that he enjoyed sharing with his son and close friends. Steve had other hobbies throughout the years, including model railroading, bowling, trap shooting and golf, but his time with his family is what he always cherished the most. For those who knew him, the volume in which he spoke, the orange snow suit, and the flip up sunglasses will be greatly missed!

Steve is survived by his son Mike (Jen) of Hulett, WY; seven grandchildren, Lacee (Andy), Kylie (Shane), Ramsey (Omer), Shane, Morgan (Jon), Brandon, and Josh; 6 great-grandchildren, Zaide, Rilee, Baylee, Ryder, Blakely, and Oaklyn.

Steve was preceded by his wife Edna, his mother-in-law Rose and parents.

A graveside service with full military honors will be 1:30pm Friday December 13, 2019 at Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis.
