Steven Jay Schuler

December 11, 1957 - December 15, 2019

Steven Jay Schuler, age 62, passed away at his home in Golden Valley, AZ on Sunday, December 15, 2019. He is formerly of Chaska, MN. Steven was born to Kenneth and Ardis Schuler, December 11, 1957 in Sheldon, Iowa. The oldest of four children, he graduated from Chaska High School in 1976 and attended NEI. He worked as a field technician for Standard Register until chronic health issues rendered him disabled. Steve married Rita Bergmanis in September of 1984 and welcomed five children in their eight-year marriage. He found love again in Georgia Golmen and they lived together many years prior to Steve’s move to Arizona. A man of many interests, Steve’s most beloved hobbies included guitars, tools, guns and movies/television but nothing greater than cars. He loved his 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible so much that he told his children he’d be buried in it! At the time of his passing, Steven had been sober 22 years. There are many thoughts and emotions had by those that knew him, those that loved him. May we choose to remember the memories of laughter, family projects, long talks and the challenges overcome. He will be missed and he is at peace. He is survived by mother, Ardis; daughters Lindsey (Travis) Hagen and Laura (Christian) Schuler; sons Nikolais (Amber) Schuler and Andrew Schuler; grandchildren Wyatt and Cohen Hagen and Harper and Kate Schuler; sisters Dawn (Scott) Engelman and Debbie (David) Bischoff; brother Bradley (Erica) Schuler as well as nieces and nephews. Steven was preceded in death by his son, Thomas Jay and father, Kenneth. A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, sympathies and donations are preferred.
