Steve was actively involved in the life of the church for many years. He served in various capacities though his greatest gift and passion was evident through music. Whether as choir director, piano player, or vocalist, he loved leading people in song and expressing his faith in ways that inspired others.
Music is also where Steve started his work career, though his gifts of administration would soon emerge and lead him into roles as a school administrator. His final post was serving 28 years as Assistant Principal at North Scott High School in Eldridge, IA.
Above all, however, Steve was a devoted family man. He considered it a joy and privilege to care for his wife Mary following the years-long complications brought on by a brain tumor. He also cherished the time spent with other family, providing a steady source of encouragement, wisdom, sacrifice and countless greeting cards that were always on time!
He is survived by sons Steve McNicol Jr. (Laura), Jeff McNicol (Carolyn), and daughter Tammy Sandercock (Roy), 14 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife Mary, parents Floyd and Mildred, sister Marilyn and grandson, Logan.
A funeral service celebrating Steve’s life will be held on Monday, February 9th, at First Baptist Church Bettendorf, 3593 Middle Rd., Bettendorf, IA 52722. Visitation will begin at 10:00a.m., followed by the service at 11:30am. A lunch will follow at the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to First Baptist Church, Bettendorf.
