Stephen "Steve" Russell Clendenning

Steve was preceded in death by his mother Marjorie, father Russell, uncle Paul, grandma Muriel, and grandpa Boyd.

He is survived by his wife of 27 years Terri, daughter Morgan, and brother Jim.

Steve’s greatest treasure was his daughter Morgan. Her graduation from Washington State University was a very special day, equally matched to April 12, 1986 when he married Terri.

Steve was self-employed, establishing his own business over 30 years ago as a licensed landscaping contractor and electrical contractor.

Steve had many hobbies and interests including model trains, restoring cars, the Beatles, John Wayne movies, NHRA drag racing, the Oakland Raiders, the Chicago Bears, and collecting die-cast cars.

He cherished the special bond he shared with his cousin Judy and many lifelong friends.
