Steven Alan Throndsen 1954—2021
Steven A. Throndsen, age 66, born July 7, 1954 in Beloit, WI, passed unexpectedly on March 31, 2021 in Manitowoc, WI.
Steven moved to Rockford, Il in 1956 with his parents Glenn and Marlet Throndsen and his brothers. He attended Auburn High School where he excelled academically as well as in sports like football, swimming, wrestling, and track and field. In the summers he would work on the family farm in Arcadia, WI. Steven graduated from Rockford College. On June 25, 1977 he married Susan Meagher at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. In 2005, the family moved to Manitowoc where Steven became employed at Manitowoc Company, where he was currently Manager Business Systems Applications. Steven was a craftsman by nature. In his spare time he enjoyed remodeling his home and gardening. He took great pride in making sure that whatever job he was doing was a job well done. He enjoyed entertaining and cooking, as well as science fiction, playing card and board games, and listening to oldies. Above all he loved playing with his grandchildren. Those closest to him would describe him as stoic, hardworking, kind-hearted and loyal, with a dry sense of humor.
Steven is survived by his wife: Susan; his mother: Marlet; his daughter: Sarah (Alex) Bruso, and their children: Preston, Noah, and Everett Bruso; his son: William Throndsen (Emily Popke); three brothers: Ron (Chris) Throndsen, Jim (Sandie) Throndsen, Bruce (Sandy) Throndsen; two sisters-in-law: Kathy Meagher and Nancy (Brad) Beard; and his brother-in-law: Bill (Tammy) Rothenberger.
