Steve Tacker was a devoted husband and father, loved by everyone lucky enough to meet him. He never met a stranger and could tell a story like no other. He spent his life taking care of others and it was most evident in his last days as family and friends from childhood gathered at his bedside, and calls came from friends far and wide. Retired from MLGW, Steve continued to work in Right of Way as a consultant. As a teenager, he was in a band and his love of music never ceased.
His undying love and devotion to Linda was evident in everything he did for 49 years. In addition to the love of his life Linda, Steve leaves behind three daughters, two son-in-laws, a son, seven grandchildren, four great grandchildren and a wealth of friends that were more like family.
He passed peacefully surrounded by his three daughters and wife, Linda, then sent off by more than a dozen others that joined them at his bedside as he entered the gates of Heaven to take his special place with the Lord.
