Steve was born on July 7, 1956 in Oconomowoc Wisconsin to Ray & Cecilia Colbert.
He graduated from Elk River High school in 1974. After receiving his bachelor degree in Architecture
from Anoka Ramsey he became a general contractor for various constructions companies until starting his

He loved driving his truck around town visiting and talking to any and all people he met along the way.
His morning coffee stop was at Short Stop gas station in Hibbing talking politics and joking with
everyone. He had a great sense of humor. He also enjoyed teaching others his craft and giving tours
around town, pointing out every roof, deck and addition he had artistically created. He was a very proud
man and this showed in his workmanship.  He was also an avid Yahtzee player up until the very end.
Besides spending time with his family and friends, Steve had a passion for gardening, fishing, camping,
and working on his tree house. He loved making trips whenever he could to watch his grandchildren play
baseball, soccer, football, theater, dance and swim. He was a very proud grandpa.
