It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Steven Eugene Glindmeier, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Steven departed this world peacefully in his sleep on May 14, 2026, at the age of 69, after a brief battle following a stroke.
Born on August 27, 1956, in Phoenix, Arizona. He was the cherished son of Jacqueline Hyde and Frank Glindmeier, and stepson to Lee Glindmeier and Tom Pappas, all of whom predeceased him.
Steven pursued his academic endeavors with vigor, earning a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee before achieving a Master’s in Accounting.
Steven leaves behind his wife Lori Glindmeier, with whom he shared beautiful moments. He leaves behind a family that included his treasured daughter, Jennifer Crandall, her husband Jayson, and their children Marlie, Samantha, Evan, and Hudson; stepsons Eric Bjerk and Jason Bjerk, his wife Angie, and their children Conrad and Nikolai. Additionally, Steven is survived by his dear sister, Alea Dean, her husband Greg, and their children Amy, her daughter MacKenzie and Lucian and his wife Heather and their children Thomas and Blake; his brother, Russ, and his stepsister, Penny.
In accordance with his wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Steven’s life and legacy. While we will gather in a small circle to say our farewells, we know that Steven’s spirit is carried in the hearts of all who knew him.
Though words can scarcely capture the depth of our loss, we find solace in the memories of a life well-lived and a man well-loved. Steven Eugene Glindmeier will forever be missed and remembered with love.
