Steven Dale Heth, 53, of rural Whitewater, slipped the bonds of his earthly body on Sept. 18, 2013, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on Nov. 22, 1959, to Dale and Betty Heth, of rural Whitewater.
He married Valerie Kardack on April 12, 1980 at the First English Lutheran Church. His daughter, Monica Jean was born April 16, 1985.
Steve began his postal career in 1982 as the custodian of the Whitewater Post Office and ended his career of 26 years by retiring in July 2009 as the postmaster of Twin Lakes.
He enjoyed fishing, family, farming and remodeling homes.
Steve was present and delivered the toast at his daughter’s wedding in the orchard of his farm on Saturday, Sept. 14 to Andrew Schwarm of Chicago, Ill.
Steve was a great planner and his advice to his daughter and new son-in-law was to “plan for the future but enjoy each and every day because it is the little things that make life worth living.”
Steve was a wonderful man, father, son and husband and will be greatly missed.
