Timothy "Tim" Stepp

Tim was born on August 19, 1962, in Davenport, Iowa, to Marion (Lykam) and Robert Stepp Sr. He graduated from Davenport Central High School in 1980 and later earned an associate degree from Hamilton Tech.

Tim was hired in July 1986 as a Tech Technician at Rockwell Collins (now known as Collins Aerospace), a position he held for 38 years until retiring at the end of the summer in 2024.

On June 6, 1987, Tim married Latrenda “Tren” Logsdon in Davenport, Iowa. Together, they shared 39 years of marriage and raised two beloved sons. Over the years, Tim and his family called several places home, including Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before eventually settling in Wyoming, Iowa, where they lived for just over 30 years. Over this past summer, Tim and Tren relocated just north of Buffalo, Iowa, to be closer to their hometown of Davenport. Tim found special joy in the growth of the family with the arrival of a cherished granddaughter, Rowyn. One of the most easy going guys you could ever meet, Tim valued time spent together—especially the easy laughter and a well-timed joke that made ordinary moments feel warm and memorable.

Tim was an avid sports fan and loved the outdoors, and in the fall months would spend countless mornings in the deer stand and make it back home in time to watch the Hawkeyes. During the summer, if he wasn’t fishing, in his garden, or watching the Cubs, he could easily be found golfing at Little Bear Country Club nearly every evening. A certified dog lover, he had many beloved dogs throughout the years, and some accompanied him on hunting trips; his favorite dog was his yellow lab named Jake.

Those left to honor his memory include many nieces and nephews; brother-in-law Tim (Janet) Logsdon; his wife, Tren Stepp; sons, Tyler Stepp and Jarred (Amber) Stepp; granddaughter, Rowyn Stepp; and siblings, Lynn, Bob, Patti, Debbi, Brian, Jimmy, and Mary.

Tim was preceded in death by his parents and three siblings, Jane, Joe, and Bill.
