| OSTERTAG, Stephen Dwayne | Aug. 26, 1953 Hastings, MN |
Feb. 2, 2017 MO |
Research Note: He was the son of Joe and Carol (Granger) Ostertag. Steve was the 2nd oldest to 10 other siblings. Steve told stories of running trap lines to and from school where he caught pheasants and various fur bearing animals. He told of how the school coat rack had a rifle hanging next to each boy's coat. The most impactful family member for Steve was his maternal grandfather Earl Granger, who instilled in him a love for adventure and the outdoors. Steve told many amazing stories of his grandfather, including one of how he was the last to have an actual cattle drive through the twin cities, (this was not approved or allowed by anyone of authority, which is undoubtedly why he did it, this obviously caused quite a bit of havoc). He was a very colorful man, which is exactly how Steve is described by many people who knew him well; full of life, full of incredible stories, a treasure trove of knowledge on most any subject; Steve was a very talented man in many areas of life. In 1969, Steve's family moved to Monett, Missouri where they had a small family farm. It was here that Steve met and married his high school sweetheart, Jill Jenkins (daughter of Landon and Veva Jenkins). Upon graduation, Steve joined the US Army, where he served for 7 years in the National Guard, 203rd Engineer Battalion. It was also in Monett that Steve got his first job as a welder with Bremers machine shop. Steve took to welding very quickly and soon left Bremers to become his own boss. He owned and operated a service station at Hwy 60 and Eisenhower Street. It wasn't long and Steve opened "Ostertag Iron Works". It was here that he earned the reputation of a first class welder and fabricator. He took a short break in the late 70's-early 80's when he took his young family to Woodward, Oklahoma for the oil boom. After leaving the oil fields, Steve moved his family back home to Monett and re-opened his welding shop. Steve also managed 'Hutchens Construction' rock quarry and asphalt plant for a few years. He built and opened the "Monett Lightening Lube" which he continued to run as a successful business for nearly 30 years. To many, Steve was known as "Lucky"; this was due to many near death experiences he had. He blew his fingers off with dynamite, was shot in the leg accidentally while hunting, and broke his back while falling out of tree stand. He was even the first person on record to have both Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever at the same time. These are but a few of the traumatic injuries he survived. Steve's greatest accomplishment by far was the jail ministry program he started 12-13 years ago. He would make weekly visits to the Barry County jail to share the good news of salvation. He continued this far beyond the jailhouse walls by becoming a mentor and friend to many after they were released. This program grew beyond just Steve and lives on to this day. | Buchanan Funeral Home Phyllis Long |
