Steve Wetherell

Steven Billy Wetherell, the son of Billy and Mary (Streufert) Wetherell, was born on April 23, 1964, in Primghar, IA. He received his early education at Sutherland Schools and then attended Iowa Lakes Community College.

Steve worked at Huffman’s Farm Equipment for more than 30 years. On August 4, 2017, he was united in marriage to Joann Miller of Des Moines. In 2020, he moved to Des Moines where he worked for Tiernan’s Service Center in Granger, IA until his passing.

You could always find him hanging out with family and friends, grilling, and socializing over a cold beer. He enjoyed tractors and watching Western shows, Gilligan’s Island, Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, and NASCAR races. Steve was also an avid sports fan always rooting for the Iowa State Cyclones and Green Bay Packers.

Steve was a fix it all kind of man who was always willing to help others. Above all else, he cherished time spent with his family and loved playing with and spoiling his grandchildren.
