Steven Ralph Senn, 53, passed away April 4, 2017 after a year-long battle with ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Services will be held at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway in West Des Moines with visitation on Friday, April 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. and the funeral service on Saturday, April 8 at 10:00 a.m.
Steve was born September 14, 1963 in Des Moines, IA. He graduated from Dowling High School in 1982 and married Shari Monahan in 1985. He worked as a union carpenter for many years and most recently for Elevate Properties until the disease forced him into disability retirement. Steve was the ultimate outdoorsmen. He loved camping, fishing and hunting. The family spent much time traveling and sharing Steve’s love of the outdoors. Above all else, Steve was a devoted family man with a positive attitude, an incredible work ethic, and a heart of gold. He was always ready to lend a hand to anyone who needed his help.
He will be greatly missed by his wife of 31 years, Shari Senn; his children, Eric, Chris and Amanda Senn; grandson, Chase Senn; and his brother, Mike Senn. Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Mary (Demay) Senn.

Shari and family. I didn't get to know your family well before you moved to Alaska but do remember you at UPBC. I am so sorry to hear that Steve passed away. I pray that God will give you comfort and peace as you remember and grieve for your loved one.

I am so sorry to hear about Steve's passing. He was the maintenance man when I lived in Crescent Chase. He was always very friendly to me (and my dog) and he made it a very personable place to live. I did not know him very well, but I want the family to know that he was a special part of our apartment community, and was definitely missed when he took leave. My thoughts are with you in this difficult time.
